Plumbing businesses move fast. Emergency call-outs, scheduled maintenance, new construction work, and compliance requirements all compete for your attention every day.

One Platform for Your Entire Plumbing Business
From the first customer call through to the final invoice, plumbing businesses have a lot to manage. You need to dispatch the right plumber to the right job, send accurate quotes before a competitor does, track labour and material costs, meet compliance obligations, and keep cash flowing.
Aeflow connects your office, your field team, and your customers in one place so nothing falls through the cracks.
Key Features for Plumbing Contractors
Job Scheduling
Manage your entire job calendar from one screen. Schedule planned work, assign emergency call-outs, and move jobs around without confusion. See which plumbers are available, where they are, and what they have coming up so you can respond to customers quickly and keep every job on track.
Quoting and Estimating
Build accurate quotes fast using your own price lists for labour, materials, and equipment. Send professional quotes that customers can review and approve online. Win more jobs by responding before your competitors do.
Invoicing and Online Payments
Create invoices directly from completed jobs and send them electronically as soon as the work is done. Give customers an easy way to pay online and reduce the time between finishing a job and getting paid.
Digital Safety Certificates
Complete plumbing compliance certificates and safety documentation digitally in the field. Capture customer signatures, store records securely, and stay audit-ready without chasing paper forms back to the office.
Forms and Certificates
Build custom forms for pre-start checks, inspection reports, test results, and handover documentation. Your team completes them on site from any device, and the data syncs to the office immediately.
Timesheets
Plumbers log their hours from the job site using their phone or tablet. Time data flows into job costing and payroll so you always know your true labour costs and can track profitability on every job.
CRM
Keep a complete record of every customer, property, and job history in one place. Track enquiries, follow up quotes, manage service agreements, and never lose track of a customer relationship again.
Subcontractor Management
Work with subbies? Bring them into Aeflow to assign jobs, share documentation, collect timesheets, and manage their compliance records. Keep everyone aligned without extra phone calls or paperwork.
Project Management
Handle large plumbing projects such as new construction, multi-stage renovations, and commercial fit-outs with confidence. Break work into stages and tasks, track budgets, manage multiple trades, and keep clients informed throughout the project.
Site Management
Store detailed information for every site you work on, including access instructions, asset registers, service history, and key contacts. Give your plumbers everything they need before they arrive so they can get straight to work.
Price List Management
Maintain a central price list for your materials, fittings, and labour rates. Use it across quoting and invoicing to keep your margins consistent and save time building estimates from scratch.
Accounting
Track income, expenses, and job profitability in real time. Connect Aeflow with your accounting software to keep your books accurate without entering the same data twice.
