What Fergus is
Fergus is job management software for trades and service businesses, covering work from customer enquiry and quoting through scheduling and invoicing. Teams can prepare professional quotes and use a customisable calendar to assign jobs. Job Cards collect details such as quotes, purchase orders, costs, reporting, and customer information. Recurring jobs, route optimisation, and offline mode are also listed. The mobile app is available on iOS and Android for quoting, invoicing, and job management, with real-time tracking of time, materials, and safety. Fergus lists integrations with Xero, QuickBooks, and MYOB for syncing business information. Supplier integrations can import invoices and match them to jobs; premium supplier integrations add pricebook updates, purchase orders, and invoice reconciliation. A Zapier integration connects Fergus to more than 3,000 apps. The Essentials plan has a 14-day free trial that requires no credit card to start. Features are offered in set tiers, so customers cannot select individual features. Fergus is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand.
