Services
PROPEL ASSIST
Propel Assist - Managed Remote Operations Team
Your jobs are running. Your inbox isn't.
Most tradies end up spending nights and weekends catching up on emails, chasing payments, and updating job boards. That's not why you started your business.
Propel Assist gives you a fully managed team of specialists who handle the daily admin so you don't have to.
Think of it like hiring a reliable office manager - without the overhead.
From just $15/hr AUD, your team handles:
- Inbox and calendar management
- Job tracking and CRM updates (Simpro, Tradify, and more)
- Client coordination and follow-ups
- Chasing payments
- Document and file management
- Social posts and newsletters
What makes us different from a regular VA:
- Zero downtime - if someone's sick, a trained backup steps in
- No re-training - our SOPs cover it all from day one
- Built-in quality checks on every task
- Scale hours up or down as your business grows
- Full confidentiality - we treat your business like our own
This is the same model we used to scale our own Design-to-Build renovation business to 7 figures and win multiple national awards. We know it works.
PROPEL TECH
Propel Tech: Expert Simpro Optimisation and Managed Technical Support
20% of the features shouldn't carry 100% of the work. Let's unlock what you're paying for.
Propel Tech is about ending the 'hit and trial' approach to scaling. We make sure your Simpro setup is built for growth - not just data entry. We don't just advise. We act as part of your team to manage implementation, data accuracy, and integrations.
We keep seeing the same pattern: trade owners invest in Simpro because it's the best tool for the job but feel like they're only getting a fraction of the value. Worse, many are stuck with manual double-handling because the system isn't configured correctly. Propel Tech steps in to handle the setup and ongoing maintenance so the owner can focus on the business.
Key Outcomes:
- Technical Efficiency: Custom permissions, credit alerts, and pre-build quoting kits
- Data Accuracy: Clean CSV migration - Customers, Sites, and Jobs done right
- Financial Accuracy: Xero and QuickBooks integration with managed progress claims
Why us:
- System Mastery: Beyond standard setup, we handle complex configurations - custom permissions, credit stop alerts, and pre-built quoting kits for faster turnaround
- Data Migration and Cleanup: We manage the full CSV import - Customers, Contacts, Sites, and Jobs - and clean the data first so there are no duplicates
- Financial Accuracy: We manage the Xero and QuickBooks integration so progress claims and partial billing sync correctly every time
- Mobile and Staff Setup: We configure Simpro so your on-site technicians can use the app without hassle, and we train your team to use it confidently
- Reporting and Visibility: We pull the reports you actually need - like un-invoiced jobs - so you have clear visibility without hours in spreadsheets
PROPEL RENDERS
Propel Renders - 3D Visuals That Win You Bigger Jobs
Show clients the finish line before you break ground. That's how you close bigger deals faster.
Most tradies quote with words and numbers. The ones winning the big jobs are showing clients exactly what they're getting - before a single tool is picked up.
Propel Renders gives you professional 3D visuals, 2D drawings, and walkthrough videos from just $240 AUD.
What the numbers show:
- 94% higher conversion rate vs quoting without visuals
- Deals close 31% faster
- Project scope grows up to 4x when clients can see the vision
- 40% fewer change orders once work begins
Who we help:
Builders, landscapers, architects, interior designers, developers, real estate agents, and property managers.
What you get:
- Photorealistic 3D renders
- 2D elevations and cross-sections for consents
- Walkthrough videos for presentations and social media
- Turnaround in days, not weeks
- We work from site photos, voice notes, and basic measurements - easy to get started
Stop quoting for free. Start selling the vision.
