Fergus is clever, all-in-one software built to run your trades business from end to end - anywhere, anytime. From your first quote to your final invoice, Fergus keeps every moving part in one place so nothing slips through the cracks.

Your Central Dashboard

Everything starts on your dashboard. It gives you a clear, real-time view of every job and what needs attention.


Job colours make priorities obvious at a glance:

  • Red jobs are urgent and need action now.

  • Orange jobs are waiting on something from you.

  • Green jobs are tracking along nicely.

Click into any job to view details, update progress, or complete tasks. With this overview, you can manage hundreds of jobs each week confidently — without losing track.

Fast, Visual Scheduling

Fergus makes scheduling simple and quick. You can:

  • See who has time in their day before assigning work.

  • Check where your team is and what they’re doing in real time.

  • Drag and drop jobs to schedule them instantly.

As soon as you schedule a job, your team is notified right away - no matter where they are.

On-Site Time & Materials Tracking

Your field team can log everything on the go, without needing to return to the office.
Employees can:

  • Load time against jobs while on site

  • Add materials as they’re used

  • Attach notes or updates straight away

That information automatically links to the correct job, giving you a live view of job costs and performance as work happens.

Real-Time Job Profitability

Because time and materials are tracked in real time, Fergus shows you how each job is tracking financially.


You can quickly see:

  • if you're making money on a job

  • if you’re losing money

  • where costs are trending compared to the quote

This helps you stay in control before small issues become expensive ones.

Easy Invoicing

Invoices in Fergus are instantly populated from job activity.
That means you can:

  1. Review the invoice

  3. Click Send

No re-typing. No missed charge-ups.
