Fergus, a leading job management software provider for plumbers and electricians, has announced a new integration with Groundplan, a popular takeoff software for tradies.
This integration allows tradies to transfer project data between Groundplan’s estimating tools and Fergus’s comprehensive job management platform seamlessly, streamlining workflows and enhancing profitability.
The Fergus-Groundplan integration lets users access supplier catalogues and pricing directly within Groundplan, create accurate quotes based on takeoff data automatically, and eliminate double-handling of information between estimating and job management systems.
The connection streamlines the entire process from initial design to parts ordering, saving time and reducing the potential for errors.
“This integration is another important milestone for Fergus in helping trades businesses save time and increase profitability,” Fergus CEO, Mark Bartels said.
“By connecting with Groundplan, we’re eliminating time-consuming, error-prone manual data entry—boosting accuracy and freeing up time. After all, time spent on admin is time not spent making money. This integration also provides real-time insights into costs and profitability, empowering users to make smarter, data-driven decisions with the most up-to-date information at their fingertips.”
Benefits of Fergus-Groundplan
Real-time pricing and profitability is a key feature of the integration. Tradies can instantly see the costs of materials and labour, apply their desired markup, and calculate potential profits as they design projects in Groundplan.
Users can now drag and drop pre-filled job items from their Fergus favourites directly into Groundplan, with all associated parts, labour estimates, and pricing included automatically. This also equips on-site staff with comprehensive project information.
“We’re excited to partner with Fergus to bring this integration to life. This partnership goes beyond software integration; it’s about creating a more connected, efficient way of working for tradies, streamlining the takeoff to job management process, and enhancing profitability,” CEO Groundplan Rex Redden said.
Tradies can quickly give their teams detailed, accurate plans that include every aspect of the job. This level of detail helps prevent on-site confusion, reduces the need for clarification calls, and leads to more efficient project execution.
The Fergus-Groundplan integration is now available to users in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom, and can be accessed by existing Fergus customers through their current subscription. New users interested in experiencing these benefits firsthand can sign up for a free trial.
