The honest answer
GeoOp was a capable NZ-born job app for trades and service businesses — scheduling, staff tracking, timesheets, quotes and invoices. The Access Group bought it in 2025 and GeoOp has since joined Tradify (geoop.com now redirects there), so Geo users are being moved on. If you have to move anyway, it’s worth moving to a tool built for building.
Where Toolie is different: Toolie is built around the New Zealand Building Code itself, not bolted onto a generic global product. Describe a job in plain English or drop in a PDF plan and Toolie runs the NZS 3604 take-off, prices it off a real NZ QS pricebook, keeps the crew compliant (H1 6th edition, Healthy Homes, CCA 2002 retentions), and does it for one flat price for your whole crew — not per user.
Why builders move from GeoOp to Toolie
- GeoOp is generic service and trades job management — no NZS 3604 take-off, H1 or Healthy Homes logic. Toolie builds the priced, code-aware quote.
- Geo customers are being moved to Tradify, which bills per user (from NZ$48/user/month ex-GST). Toolie is one flat price per plan.
- Toolie adds the NZ build side: a 13-phase programme, a CCA 2002 retention ledger, a consent tracker, 8 contracts, LBP Records of Work and 17 builder calculators.
- Toolie works offline on a no-signal site and audits the quote for missing companion items before you send.

Switching is low-risk
Export your clients, jobs and invoices from GeoOp to a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) and Toolie’s Move from another app importer can read it, as long as the first row has headings. If it can’t tell what a file is, you pick the type and match the columns yourself. You see a preview first, duplicates are skipped and any import can be undone. QS/BOQ schedules import too. Run the 14-day free trial alongside GeoOp (it works offline on site) and export your data any time. No lock-in contract, no per-user billing surprises when you put on another chippie.
