# Handyman POS Software for Australia

Handyman and general maintenance businesses in Australia require a POS system that manages repairs, maintenance tasks, service calls, technician tracking, and job-based billing accurately. EliteTeQ Handyman POS is built specifically for maintenance providers to track jobs, staff, and payments from a single simple system.

Built for handyman services in Australia to bill repairs, manage service calls, and track technicians efficiently.

## Problems We Solve

- **Five Little Jobs in One Visit, and the Bill Is a Guess** — You fix a leaking tap, hang two doors, patch a wall, and rehang a gutter — all in one morning. By the time you sit in the van to write it up, you are guessing the total. Either you round it down and lose money, or the client squints at one lump sum and asks what they are actually paying for.
- **Some Jobs Are Hourly, Some Are Flat — and You Mix Them Up** — The door rehang is a flat rate, the wall repair is by the hour, the call-out has a minimum charge. Juggling all three in your head means you undercharge as often as you overcharge, and your pricing feels random to repeat customers.
- **"While You're Here, Can You Also..." — and the Quote Falls Apart** — You quoted for two jobs. On-site the client adds three more. You do the work because you are already there, but the original quote no longer matches what you did — so the invoice becomes an argument instead of a thank-you.
- **You Finished the Work but the Money Comes Slowly** — Some clients want to settle later, some jobs needed a deposit for materials, and you are tracking it all on text messages and memory. Cash you have already earned sits uncollected while you front the cost of parts out of your own pocket.

## How EliteTeQ Solves It

- Itemise every task in a single job — each line with its own price — so one visit produces one clear, professional invoice the client can actually read. *You stop rounding down and losing money, and the customer sees exactly what they are paying for.*
- Set hourly rates, flat fees, and call-out minimums per task and pick the right one as you go — no mental arithmetic in the van. *You charge correctly every time, and your pricing feels consistent and fair to repeat clients.*
- Send a clear quote, then add the extra tasks on-site so the invoice reflects everything you actually did, itemised. *The final bill makes sense to the client instead of sparking a dispute, and you get paid for all the work.*
- Take deposits for materials up front, invoice the moment a job is done, and track every outstanding balance with reminders. *Cash comes in on time and you stop financing parts and labour out of your own pocket.*

## Payments & Compliance in Australia

Built for Australian businesses with ATO-ready GST handling — including correct treatment of GST-free food and health lines — plus Dollar (A$) pricing and card-and-wallet-first checkout.

A single nationwide GST applies, but certain food and health categories are GST-free, so category treatment matters more than rate complexity. Card and wallet dominate; Perth's isolation makes supply lines long.

**Accepted payment methods in Australia:** cards, tap-to-pay, and PayID bank transfers.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **What currency and payment methods does EliteTeQ POS support in Australia?** EliteTeQ POS prices in AUD (A$) and records Apple Pay, card and cash against the same sale, so handyman services businesses in Australia close the day on one set of reconciled totals instead of three. Tax invoices are produced to ATO requirements, and the till keeps working when the connection drops.
- **What should a handyman services business in Australia look for in a POS system?** In Australia, a POS has to apply GST-free category treatment correctly on card-first checkout. A single nationwide GST applies, but certain food and health categories are GST-free, so category treatment matters more than rate complexity. Card and wallet dominate; Perth's isolation makes supply lines long. EliteTeQ POS is built around those conditions rather than adapted to them after the fact, with AUD pricing and ATO-ready invoicing.
- **Can the POS handle multiple tasks in one visit?** Yes, tasks can be itemized and billed in a single invoice.
- **Does it support hourly and flat-rate pricing?** Absolutely. Both pricing models are supported.
- **Can I track technicians?** Yes, jobs, time, and revenue can be tracked per handyman.
- **Can customers pay after service?** Yes, invoicing and balance payments are supported.
- **Is it suitable for solo handymen and teams?** Yes, it works for individuals and multi-technician teams.

## From the EliteTeQ Team

**We have written up five jobs from memory in the van too.** We know the morning that turns into five small jobs and a guessed total, and the "while you're here" extras that blow up the quote. EliteTeQ was not built in a boardroom — it was built next to real handymen and small maintenance teams in Nairobi, itemising tasks and chasing slow payments. So when you message us, a real person replies — someone who understands mixed hourly and flat pricing, deposits for parts, and tracking a couple of hands on the road — not a script. No jargon, no pressure, and an honest answer even if it is "you might not need us yet."
