## What is BackOnTools?

You are under a sink at 4pm. Your phone rings. You cannot get to it.

That call was a job. BackOnTools answers it, quotes it, books it and texts you the details. Then it runs the rest of the job with you: the quote, the invoice, the money, the calendar, the crew. One app for the tradie who does it all.

RUN THE WHOLE BUSINESS FROM THE UTE

- Jobs, calendar and dispatch on one screen. Your day planned for you each morning.
- Quotes and invoices sent from the job, with card and deposit links. Overdue money chased for you.
- Your own price book and a 1,400-item Australian materials catalogue, so every quote is right the first time.
- Live job costing, timesheets, GPS clock-in and payroll export for the crew.
- Safety forms, SWMS, compliance certificates and licence reminders, signed on site.
- Job photos turned into finished social posts in Studio.
- Foreman AI: a daily briefing, hot-lead alerts and answers about your own numbers.

THE PHONE, HANDLED

- Answers when you cannot: on the tools, up a ladder, after hours. The caller never hits dead air.
- Quotes your prices while the caller is keen, books the job into your calendar, texts you the summary and recording.
- Keep your own number. It only answers what you miss. It never bluffs a price; it flags what needs you.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-19

The app feels like a real app now. Buttons react under your thumb, screens open with your data already on them, and long lists scroll smoothly.

On my way is on your Lock Screen. Tap On my way on a job and pocket the phone: your Lock Screen and Dynamic Island show who you're driving to and how many minutes out you are.

Your live ETA keeps running with the phone locked or Maps open. Allow location Always and your customer's tracking link keeps counting down while you drive. Sharing stops by itself when you arrive or mark the job done.

The dispatch map is a proper map. Pinch it, pan it, tap a job pin or a crew dot.

Sheets slide up and drag down to close, like every other app on your phone.

Refer a mate from Settings: your own link, ready to send, with a count of mates who started and who are paying.

Plus a clean navy launch screen, better keyboard handling when you type, and a long list of smaller fixes.

### 1.1.9 — 2026-08-31

Studio: turn a finished job into a social post. Pick a job or a photo from your camera roll, choose a look, and share it to Instagram or Facebook with the caption already written for you and your business name on it.

Your trade, your walkthrough. The guided tour now shows a real week for your trade, whether you run plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roofing, tiling, carpentry, painting, cleaning or landscaping.

Tap a call notification and it opens that call. Every time.

The screens you open every day now appear with your data already on them instead of a spinner: quotes, invoices, messages and the dispatch board.

A job your AI books now arrives priced, with the materials it needs and the hours it should take, off your own price book.

Plus booking times that read in your own timezone, and a long list of smaller fixes.

### 1.1.7 — 2026-08-19

A new look across the whole app: cleaner type, one navy shell, and money-first screens. Push notifications now open the exact call. Faster call detail, jobs and money screens. Bug fixes.

### 1.1.6 — 2026-07-15

Bigger jobs, less admin. This update brings project billing and smarter materials to your phone.

• Progress claims: invoice part of an accepted quote now — a deposit or a stage payment — without over-billing.
• Variations: send a linked quote for extra work in a couple of taps.
• Suggest materials: let the app list what a job needs, priced from your own price book, and add each line with one tap.
• Email compliance certificates and safety forms straight to your customer.
• Maintenance contracts: give recurring jobs a contract end date and an SLA response time.
• Job costing now shows a budget bar, so you can see at a glance when a job is eating into your margin.

Plus the usual round of fixes and polish.

### 1.1.5 — 2026-07-06

Faster job costing. When you add materials to a job, start typing a part name and the app now suggests priced items — from your own saved prices, a supplier catalogue, and a built-in list of common items for your trade. Tap one to fill the cost and charge in a single tap, and your own prices are learned automatically as you go. Plus the usual reliability improvements.
