Know exactly which jobs are making you money, every week.
Xero and ServiceM8, Fergus, or Tradify all hold different pieces of the picture. I read them all and send you one page: what happened, what it actually means, and the one thing to do about it this week. You don't log into anything. You read one page with your coffee.
Get startedA sample report for a fictional plumbing business, built to show you the exact shape of it: one number that matters, the working behind it, and the fix for the week. Yours will look like this, built from your real Xero and job numbers instead.
Every figure in it checks out to the cent against the numbers it states. That is the rule the whole service is built on. If I can't back it, I don't say it.
One page you can read in two minutes. Two if you check my maths, which you should.

You give me read-only access to your Xero and ServiceM8, Fergus, or Tradify data. Ten minutes, revocable anytime. You touch nothing after that.

I read it all and find which jobs are actually making you money and which aren't, dollarised, traced back to your own numbers to the cent.

Every week you get one page: what happened, what it means, and the one thing to fix. Then I check the fix got done.
Plainli is for owner-operators of Australian trades businesses, plumbing, electrical, air conditioning, running maybe 10 to 40 staff. You've likely added a second or third seat on ServiceM8, Fergus, or Tradify in the last year or so, but you're still the one who has to make sense of which jobs are actually profitable. No office manager doing this for you. Plenty of numbers sitting in software you already pay for and never quite find the time to read. If you're still guessing which jobs make money and which quietly don't, this is built for you.

I'm a data analyst based in Adelaide. I spend my days turning a mess of operational data into the one or two things people actually need to act on that week. Plainli is that same job, pointed at trades businesses that can't justify hiring someone like me full time. No dashboards, no tools to learn, no jargon. Just someone who actually reads your numbers, every week.
