Scale It VIPKnow what every hour really costs - and charge to win.
Scale It VIP is the Business Manager that turns your jobs, wages and overheads into one number you can act on: are you ahead or behind, right now? Own it for life for one payment - no subscription.
Flat out all year - but where did the money go?
Most trades businesses run blind. The work's there, the invoices go out, but nobody can say if this month actually made money. That guess is expensive.
You're quoting on gut feel
Pick a number, hope it's enough. One under-priced job can wipe the profit off three good ones - and you'd never know.
Overheads eat you alive
Rent, rego, insurance, idle gear, the ute. If your rate doesn't recover all of it across billable hours, you're going backwards on every job.
Tax time is a nasty surprise
GST and the year-end bill land like a truck because nothing was set aside. You're profitable on paper and broke in the bank.
One app that tells you the truth about your numbers
Scale It VIP does the maths trades software ignores - true cost per hour, live break-even, real job margins - and puts it in your pocket. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.
Are you ahead or behind - today?
Your home screen answers the only question that matters. Confirm each day's work in seconds and watch your live position build across the month and the financial year.
- ✓ Live recovery rate vs your true break-even
- ✓ Sales, gross margin and GST set-aside at a glance
- ✓ Month heat-map - spot the good days and the drains
- ✓ Plain-English alerts when a job or day pulls you under
Your true cost per hour - and exactly what to charge
Add your wages, on-costs, gear and overheads once. Scale It VIP spreads them across your real billable hours to reveal the rate you must hit to break even - then the rate to charge for the profit you want.
- ✓ True cost per hour, done properly (super, penalties, loadings)
- ✓ Casuals handled correctly, not double-counted
- ✓ "What should I charge?" with your margin baked in
Quote with your real overheads built in
Build estimates in sections, add your markup, and let the app blend in the overhead recovery you actually need. Send a clean client PDF and keep an internal report that shows the true margin.
- ✓ Overhead recovery blended into every quote
- ✓ Professional client-ready PDF in a tap
- ✓ Win the job knowing it's actually profitable
Every job's margin, from quote to paid
Track quoted, hourly and recurring work through a guided pipeline. See gross margin per job the moment costs land, so a blowout gets caught on site - not at tax time.
- ✓ Guided pipeline - nothing slips through
- ✓ Live margin per job as expenses are added
- ✓ Search, book to calendar, and keep client details in one place
Everything you need to run the business, not just the jobs
Calendar
Schedule crews and gear with your state's public holidays built in, finance-due reminders and job links.

Asset pressure test
Thinking of buying that excavator? Test whether it earns its keep against the real cost of owning it.

Set revenue and profit goals and track them against pace, so you know in July if you're on target for June.

Client-ready quotes and internal summaries you can export any time - straight from your phone.

Everything else you're wondering
Is this really a one-time payment?
Yes. During our limited-time launch it's a single A$99 payment - pay once and it's yours for life, with no subscription and no recurring bill. Extra seats are a one-off $49 each.
Do I need to be good with numbers or spreadsheets?
No. You enter your basics once during a guided setup - wages, hours, gear, overheads - and the app does the maths. Every number has a plain-English "what's this?" explainer.
Is it built for Australian businesses?
Yes. GST at 10%, the Australian financial year (1 July - 30 June), state public holidays and award-style pay (super, overtime, penalties, loadings) are all handled.
Will it work on my phone on site?
Absolutely - it's mobile-first. Confirm the day's work, check your position or send a quote from the ute in under a minute.
Does it replace my accountant?
No - it makes you a better client for them. Scale It VIP shows your live operating position so there are no surprises; your accountant still handles lodgement.
Can my team use it too?
Yes. Add extra seats for a one-off $49 each - staff on limited access can log jobs, hours and expenses, and their work feeds your numbers without showing them the finances.
