NETGATE

Invoicing & Quoting Software, Custom-Built for Your Trade

We don't sell off-the-shelf quoting software with someone else's logo on it — we build the quoting and invoicing system your business actually needs. Our flagship product, Leado, is live on the App Store right now (au.leado.app) — a quoting and invoicing app built for Australian tradies. We use what we sell. The outcome we deliver is simple: faster quotes prepared in front of the customer, on-the-spot pricing, branded PDFs sent before you leave the driveway, in-app payment processing on accepted quotes, and one-tap conversion of any quote into an invoice that emails itself and chases overdue balances automatically. No more end-of-week paperwork, no more forgotten follow-ups, no more lost jobs to whoever quoted faster.

What we build

Our Quoting & Invoicing Software Capabilities

Whether you're a sole trader running solo or a service business with twenty utes on the road, we tailor every feature to the way your trade actually works.

On-Site Quoting

Walk into a customer's home, measure up, and hand them a fully itemised quote in minutes — branded with your logo, colours and terms. Customers can accept the quote with a single tap on your screen or theirs, and a signed PDF is emailed to both of you instantly. No more 'I'll get a quote to you next week' — and no more lost jobs to whoever quoted faster.

Benefits: Faster quotes, higher win rates, fewer lost jobs.

Automated Invoicing

Convert any accepted quote into an invoice in one tap. Pay-now buttons let customers settle in seconds via card or bank — money in your account, not chased over text. Automatic reminders go out at 7, 14 and 30 days overdue without you lifting a finger, and partial payments and deposits are tracked against each job.

Benefits: Get paid faster, fewer overdues, zero chasing.

Lead-to-Payment Pipeline

Your leads, quotes, invoices, customers and job history all sit inside one app on your phone. Web enquiries flow straight into your inbox as new leads. Accepted quotes become jobs. Completed jobs become invoices. Paid invoices update your dashboard in real time. The whole pipeline is visible at a glance — you always know what's owed, what's overdue and what's coming up next.

Benefits: One app for the whole business, full visibility, no spreadsheets.

Native iOS Experience

We build proper native iOS apps — not slow web wrappers. That means fast load times, offline capability for sites with no signal, push notifications when a quote is accepted or an invoice is paid, and full App Store distribution. The app feels like an iPhone app should: fast, polished, and reliable on every iOS version.

Benefits: Fast, offline-ready, professional, App Store distributed.

Why NetGate

Why Choose NetGate for Quoting & Invoicing Software?

There are plenty of generic SaaS quoting platforms. We're the team that builds the one you actually want — and we ship our own.

We've Built and Ship Our Own

Leado is our quoting and invoicing app for Australian tradies, available on the App Store today (au.leado.app). We didn't just talk about building it — we shipped it, we maintain it, and we use it. When you hire us to build yours, you're hiring the team that has already done it end-to-end.

Tailored, Not Templated

Every trade is different. A shower-screen installer doesn't quote the same way a builder does. A glass installation client we work with quotes by panel; a service business in Western Sydney quotes by call-out plus parts. We build for your workflow — not a generic SaaS template you have to bend yourself around.

Sydney-Based Support

When something needs changing, you ring the team that built it — not a ticket system routed to an offshore call centre. Our developers, designers and support are all Sydney-based. You get direct access to the people who wrote the code, and turnaround on changes is measured in days, not months.

Australia-Wide Delivery

We're Sydney-based but we work with clients from Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and the regions. The build process runs over video call and screen-share — distance is not an obstacle. We've delivered software for businesses we've never met in person, and the outcome is the same: an app that fits the trade and ships on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does custom invoicing and quoting software cost?
Custom quoting and invoicing software typically ranges from $15,000 to $80,000+ depending on scope. A focused MVP — quoting, invoicing, payments and customer database for a single trade — usually sits at the lower end. Multi-user team apps with role-based permissions, supplier integrations and accounting sync sit higher. We scope every project against a fixed deliverable list before we quote, so there are no surprises. Get in touch for a proper quote against your actual requirements.
Do you only build for iOS or also Android?
Both. Our flagship app Leado is iOS-first because the Australian tradie market skews heavily to iPhone, but we ship native Android builds and cross-platform builds on request. If your customer base is mixed, we'll usually recommend a cross-platform approach so you get one codebase for both stores — see our mobile app development page for the full breakdown.
Can you integrate with Xero or MYOB?
Yes. We routinely integrate quoting and invoicing apps with the major Australian accounting platforms — invoices and payments sync automatically, so you don't have to re-key anything at end of month. We also handle GST reporting, supplier ordering integrations, and CRM sync. See our API integration page for the technical detail. Tell us what your accountant uses and we'll wire it in.
How long does development take?
A focused quoting and invoicing MVP typically ships in 10 to 16 weeks from kick-off to App Store. That covers discovery and scoping (1-2 weeks), design (2-3 weeks), build (6-10 weeks), and App Store submission and review (1 week). Larger multi-user systems with accounting sync and supplier integrations run 4-6 months. We work in fortnightly sprints and you see working software at the end of each one — you're never waiting six months wondering what's been built.
What if I already use Tradify, ServiceM8 or AroFlo — should I switch?
Honest answer: not always. Off-the-shelf platforms are fine if your workflow fits theirs — and for many sole traders, they do. You should consider custom when you're paying per-user fees that have ballooned, when you're working around the software instead of with it, or when you need features the platform won't build (specific integrations, your own branding, white-labelling for franchisees). We'll tell you straight if your existing tool is fine — we don't sell builds you don't need.

Builders Quoting Software, Built for Australian Construction

Generic quoting tools weren't designed for builders. They don't understand line items broken into materials and labour. They don't handle progress payments. They don't know what a variation is. We build quoting software that does — designed around the way Australian builders, contractors and renovators actually work. Our flagship app, Leado, is live on the App Store (au.leado.app) — proof we ship real production software for Australian trades, not slide decks. For your build, we deliver itemised line-item quotes covering materials, labour, hours and GST; branded PDFs with your logo, colours and terms; customer e-sign acceptance; and one-tap conversion of accepted quotes into invoices structured around deposit, progress and final payments.

We're the Brain. Your Business Runs Itself.

NetGate is a Sydney-based business automation agency. We don't sell off-the-shelf software — we design, build and operate custom systems that quietly handle the work behind your business. Voice receptionists that take calls 24/7, AI chat that qualifies leads on your website, quote-and-invoice apps that close deals on the spot, photo workflows that publish themselves to your gallery. We've built our own iOS SaaS — Leado, our quoting and invoicing app for tradies, live on the App Store — and we operate similar systems for Sydney service businesses today. The difference: clients don't wonder what tools we use. They just see fewer phone calls, faster quotes, and customers booking themselves. End-to-end automation, designed and run by one Sydney team.
