What TimeBoost does

Less admin. Know what needs you.

TimeBoost shows you what needs attention, keeps every job moving and remembers how your business works. You stay in charge of every price and every decision.

A tradie beside his ute checks TimeBoost Home on his phone: 25 reminders needing attention, 4 jobs scheduled today, his next job at 8:00 am, $1,052 owed in unpaid invoices, and a quote that needs reconfirming.

TimeBoost, the beta and your data

8 questions
What is TimeBoost?

TimeBoost by BuzzBrain is AI-powered job and business management software for Australian trades and service businesses. It brings your enquiries, quotes, scheduling, jobs, customers, invoices and payment records together, with Ask TimeBoost to find information and get around the app.

Who is TimeBoost designed for?

Australian owner-operators, micro businesses and small service teams that price and run individual jobs. That includes plumbing, electrical, building and carpentry, landscaping, tree services, earthmoving, cleaning, property maintenance, quarry and material delivery, water cartage and other job-based service businesses.

Is TimeBoost Australian?

Yes. TimeBoost is made by Buzz Business Boosters, an Australian business based in New South Wales. It's built around how Australian businesses price and run work, including GST, and it's priced in Australian dollars.

What does TimeBoost cost?

Approved beta testers use TimeBoost free during private beta testing, then get their first month free after commercial release. After that, $139 + GST/month.

What happens during private beta?

TimeBoost is being tested with a small group of Australian businesses before launch. Approved beta testers use it free in their real business and tell us what works and what doesn't. Features may change as we improve it. Places are limited, so not everyone who applies is accepted.

What devices does TimeBoost work on?

TimeBoost is built for phone, tablet and desktop.

Where is my business data stored?

The Privacy Policy explains how TimeBoost stores and protects your business information, and which features, such as maps, calendar and weather, send limited information to the services that power them.

Can BuzzBrain help me set it up?

Yes. You can set TimeBoost up yourself, or we can help. Tell TimeBoost your type of business and trade and it suggests a starting setup. Keep what fits and add your real costs and margin.

Leads, quotes and pricing

6 questions
Can TimeBoost manage my leads and enquiries?

Yes. Leads keep every enquiry in one place, with a sales pipeline from new enquiry to quoted to booked, so nothing slips through while you're on the tools.

How does TimeBoost work out what to charge?

It works out the estimated true cost of a job from your own rates for labour, vehicles and travel, materials, machinery and anything specific to the job. Then it shows a recommended price, GST, estimated profit and margin, with a clear "Why this price?" explanation.

Does TimeBoost decide or change my prices?

No. It recommends a price based on your own costs and margin and explains how it got there. You decide the final price. Business Memory and pricing intelligence can point things out, but TimeBoost never changes your prices or settings without you. Updated supplier costs are saved only after you check each line.

Can I give customers options on a quote?

Yes. A quote can include options, so the customer can choose what suits them. Your products, suppliers and quote templates are ready to reuse.

How do I record that a customer accepted a quote?

When the customer says yes, record the acceptance on the quote in TimeBoost, along with any deposit. The job keeps the agreed price, ready to schedule.

Can I charge one customer a different price without changing my standard price?

Yes. You can change the price of an item on one quote. For example, your standard rate might be $285 and this customer's price $250. The $250 applies only to that job, and your standard price stays the same.

Scheduling and the working day

4 questions
What does TimeBoost show me each day?

Home shows today's work, your next job and the things that need your attention, like quotes to follow up and jobs ready to invoice. My Day shows your daily work and assigned jobs. Customer and job details stay together, and you can call, message or get directions from the job.

Can TimeBoost plan my day?

Yes. Build My Day helps you plan and organise the day's schedule around appointments and travel. When something changes, Repair My Day identifies scheduling conflicts and suggests changes. You review them before anything is applied.

Does it work with Google Maps?

Yes. Google Maps gives you the destination, travel time and directions for each job.

Does TimeBoost show weather for scheduled jobs?

Yes. It shows the weather for the location of each scheduled job, not just where you are. Forecasts can change, so treat it as a guide. TimeBoost doesn't cancel or reschedule jobs for you.

On the job and getting paid

7 questions
What does TimeBoost do on the job?

Start the job and TimeBoost keeps the details in front of you: site access, notes and the work to do. Smart Capture records the actual hours, materials and photos, Quick Add Extra adds anything extra to the final invoice, and Finish Job wraps it up in one pass.

Can TimeBoost create invoices?

Yes. Invoicing is built in, so you don't need accounting software to invoice. Invoices are created from the job and the quote, with your business and ABN details, line items and GST, so nothing is rebuilt.

Can I record deposits and payments?

Yes. Record deposits, payments and part-payments against the job and see what's paid and what's still owed.

How do payments work in TimeBoost?

When the customer pays you, record the deposit, payment or part-payment against the job. TimeBoost shows what's paid and what's still owed.

Can TimeBoost help me message my customers?

Yes. TimeBoost prepares the message and opens your phone's messages or email app, so you can check it and send it yourself.

Can TimeBoost help me ask for reviews?

Yes, with you in control. After a completed job, TimeBoost can prepare a review request with your review link and an editable message, and you send it from your own phone. We recommend asking every customer for an honest review.

Does TimeBoost show actual job profit?

Yes. Compare estimated with actual time, costs and profit for each job, and use the reports to see how the business is tracking.

Customers, team and Ask TimeBoost

5 questions
What is Business Memory?

Business Memory is how TimeBoost remembers the way your business works: your costs, prices, job types, customers and sites. It saves you re-entering things and helps it make useful suggestions. It never changes your prices or settings without you.

Can I manage staff in TimeBoost?

Yes. Keep your team in one place and assign jobs to the right person.

What can Ask TimeBoost do?

Ask TimeBoost lets you find information and use supported commands within TimeBoost. It works with the questions and commands it supports, rather than open-ended conversation.

How do I use Ask TimeBoost?

Use a supported question or command to find information or go to the right part of TimeBoost. You confirm before anything changes.

Does Ask TimeBoost make decisions for me?

No. Ask TimeBoost finds information and takes you to the right place. Anything that changes your prices or your jobs is shown to you to confirm.

Accounting and connections

4 questions
Do I need accounting software to use TimeBoost?

No. Quoting, invoicing, deposits and payment recording are built into TimeBoost, so you can run it on its own.

Do I need Xero or QuickBooks Online?

No. Quoting, invoicing, deposits and payment recording are built into TimeBoost. If you already use Xero or QuickBooks Online, you can connect it to TimeBoost by signing in to your own Xero or QuickBooks account.

Does it replace my accounting software?

Not entirely. TimeBoost handles leads, quoting, scheduling, jobs, invoicing, payment records and job results, so you don't need accounting software to run the work. It isn't full bookkeeping or accounting software.

Does TimeBoost work with BuzzBrain Reception?

Yes. Each product works on its own. When connected, Reception sends enquiry details to TimeBoost, ready for you to review, quote and schedule.

Works with BuzzBrain Reception

Reception takes the call. TimeBoost runs the job.
