The Plumbing Platform Built for NZ and Australia

TPT Plumber is more than job management software. It's a platform built to run your business, stay compliant, and connect you with a growing network of licensed plumbers across New Zealand and Australia.

The Short Version

The ERP — jobs, quotes, invoices, timesheets, compliance — is useful from day one. The directory, labour board, and job board become more powerful as more NZ and Australian plumbers join. Join early and get both: a better way to run your business today, and a front-row seat as the industry-wide platform grows.

12 hrs

Admin per week

What the average NZ and Australian plumbing contractor spends on quotes, scheduling, invoicing, and paperwork.

NZ + AU

One platform, two markets

GST 15% for NZ, GST 10% for AU. PGDB compliance for NZ, state-based licensing for AU. The same platform handles both correctly.

Day 1

Immediate value

The ERP works from the moment you sign up. You don't need to wait for the network to grow to get value.

Run Your Plumbing Business Better, Starting Today

Everything you need to manage a plumbing contracting business — in one connected system

TPT Plumber is a fully functional ERP for plumbing contractors. Quotes, jobs, scheduling, invoicing, compliance documentation, timesheets, and payroll integration — all connected, all built specifically for how NZ and Australian plumbers work.

Jobs & Scheduling

Full job lifecycle from first enquiry to completion. Schedule on a drag-and-drop board, notify field staff instantly, track job status in real time.

Quotes & Invoices

GST-compliant quotes and invoices generated in minutes. Accept a quote and it converts to a job. Complete a job and the invoice is auto-populated. No re-entry.

Mobile Field App

Field staff clock in, log materials, update job notes, and attach photos — from their phone, on-site. Works offline.

Real-Time Job Costing

Track actual labour and materials against quoted amounts as the job progresses. Know your margin before you invoice.

Compliance Documentation

Attach compliance certificates and inspection records directly to completed jobs. Everything in one place — retrievable in seconds for audit or warranty purposes.

Timesheets & Payroll

Field clock-ins generate payroll-ready timesheets. Syncs with Xero and MYOB — no manual re-entry into your payroll system.

The average plumbing contractor spends 10–12 hours a week on admin. That's time that could be spent on the tools or running more jobs. The ERP alone typically recovers most of that.

Network — Growing

The Features That Get Better as More Plumbers Join

Three platform features that depend on network scale

Some features are useful the moment one person uses them. Others only become genuinely valuable when thousands of people use them. The business directory, labour board, and job board fall into the second category — and we want to be honest about that.

Business Directory

building network

Every plumber on the platform gets a directory listing — visible to builders, property managers, real estate agents, and homeowners. The more plumbers listed, the more useful it becomes for everyone looking to find or refer plumbing work.

Labour Board

building network

Post short-term work ("need a registered plumber for 4 weeks in Wellington") or list your availability. A labour board with 50 people is quiet. With 5,000 it changes the way the industry finds short-term staff.

Job Board

building network

Post subcontracting opportunities or find contract work across NZ and Australia. As the platform grows, so does the volume — and the speed at which you can fill or find it.
