Stop adding up hours on Sunday night

Paper timesheets and text messages mean someone, usually you, re-keys hours every week. With Toolie the crew clock in and out on their phones with GPS, or enter start, finish and breaks by hand, and the hours are already against the right job.

Hours become job costs

Because every hour is tied to a job, you can compare what you quoted with what the labour actually cost. That is how you find out which kinds of work make money and which ones only look busy.

NZ employment rules built in

A public holiday worked is paid at time-and-a-half with an alternative holiday, and the pay run applies holiday pay, KiwiSaver and the minimum-wage floor. Check final PAYE with your payroll provider or Inland Revenue; Toolie exports a payroll CSV so the hours are not re-keyed.

Offline on site

Clock in with no signal. The shift syncs when the phone is back in range and a resync never double-counts it.

Included with the rest of the app

Timesheets are part of the same flat plan as quoting, job management and invoicing, so you are not paying for a separate timesheet app per person.

One flat price for your whole crew — and a demo before you sign up

Toolie is flat: Solo $49, Duo $89, Crew $129, Pro $249 (NZD ex-GST) — add the whole crew free, not per user. 14-day free trial, no credit card, no lock-in. And you can quote a real job on the demo before you ever create an account.
