Tools we actually use
to run our business

After 15+ years running SRM Termite & Pest Control across Sydney, we've tried a lot of software. These are the tools we still use every day — no fluff, no paid endorsements, just genuine recommendations from one tradie to another.

Why I recommend ServiceM8 to every tradie I meet

When I started SRM Termite & Pest Control, I was running everything from a notebook and a spreadsheet. Missed calls, lost quotes, clients chasing invoices — it was a mess. A mate in the plumbing game told me about ServiceM8 and I signed up mostly to try to stop the chaos.

That was years ago. Today, ServiceM8 handles every single booking, quote, job card, invoice, and client follow-up that flows through our business. Our techs use it on their phones in the field. Our admin uses it at the desk. Clients get automated SMS reminders and digital reports without anyone having to manually send them.

The biggest win? I stopped being the bottleneck. The business runs whether I'm on a job or not. If you're still running your trade business from a notepad or a pile of sticky notes, I genuinely can't recommend this enough.
