Daily brief โ ramble it out, get back tidy per-person emails
Talk or type freely about the whole day's jobs for the team โ jump between people, come back to someone, mention a job for two of them together, whatever. It untangles everything by person (or group) and produces one draft to copy into a single email to yourself, with each individual message laid out inside โ who it's to, subject, and body โ ready to copy-paste out to the team one by one. Nothing is sent automatically.
Tip: your phone/tablet keyboard has a built-in microphone button that works anywhere โ tap into the box above and use that to dictate if the button here isn't supported on your device.

5:30pm summary
Builds three ready-to-send drafts from everything logged today.
Assign a task
Recurring jobs
Set up jobs that come round regularly (Jake's bins, cardboard, shelf-filling, sweeping, etc). Pick who does it, the job, and how often โ it'll auto-create the task when it's next due, and re-queue it on that cycle once completed.
Load a week of jobs โ auto-push 4 at a time
Paste a whole week's worth of jobs, one per line (each roughly a 30-minute task). Pick who's working on them. It keeps 4 active on their plate at any time, ranked by priority โ as they tick one off, the next one is pushed automatically, so they always have a manageable queue rather than a wall of 40 jobs. Add a priority number at the start of a line (1-4) to rank it, e.g. "1: Pick order 4402".
Sequential task chain โ auto-push the next step
For repeating jobs done as an ordered list of steps or locations โ cyclic stocktake locations, a multi-stop pick run. Give it the ordered list; it hands them one step at a time and pushes the next as each is ticked off.
For the full 12-month cyclic stocktake roster, send me your full location list in chat and I'll build the complete ordered list to paste above.

๐จ Print a job sheet
Generate a physical job list for a staff member โ with expected time targets per job and a total โ to hand them on paper. They tick it off, note their real start/finish, and bring it back so you can record the times below.
โฑ Record times back in
When they hand the sheet back, log how long each job actually took. Over time this builds each person's real pace per job type โ the expected time on future sheets tightens toward what they can genuinely do, keeping the standard up.
๐ New ad-hoc delivery
For the one-off runs that pop up through the day โ not pre-scheduled. Fill it in, it defaults to right now (change the time if it's going out later), and it drops onto today's run sheet ready to sign for on delivery.

Conduit size calculator
Rigid UPVC sizing is pulled directly from AS/NZS 3000:2018 Table C10 โ exact figures, not an estimate. Flexible corrugated isn't covered by that table, so it falls back to the standard 40% fill approximation (clearly marked below).
Split system sizer
Rough sizing for quoting purposes using room volume and a load factor โ always confirm with a proper Manual J / AS calc for tricky rooms (high glazing, raked ceilings, west sun). We always round UP to the next stocked size.
Upload house plan โ auto-fill rooms
Upload a clear image or PDF of the floor plan (with dimensions marked) and it'll read the rooms and sizes straight off it and drop them into the calculator below. Only conditioned internal rooms are picked up โ garages, alfrescos, porticos, verandahs and other outdoor/unconditioned areas are left out automatically, and a bedroom with an attached WIR or ensuite box is combined into one room rather than counted twice. If you upload a full PDF set of plans, it'll work out which page is actually the floor plan and ignore the rest (elevations, title pages, specs etc) for both the room read and the mark-up. Works best with a clean, readable plan โ always double-check the auto-filled numbers against the plan before quoting.
Ducted cooling load โ whole house
Add every room from the plans (with actual dimensions) and this totals the cooling load for ducted sizing โ either from the auto-fill above or typed in manually.
Saved ducted cooling load jobs
Every saved job, with its marked-up plan ready to download.
Electrical & lighting takeoff
Upload a house plan and it does a best-effort electrical takeoff โ counting light switches (by gang, plus dimmers/intermediates), power points (indoor/outdoor), lights (indoor/outdoor), and reading the lighting schedule if one's shown. A full PDF gives the most accurate read; a photo will be rougher.
Barcode & product ID
Two ways to work out what something is: scan a barcode, or take a photo of the product and let the AI describe what it likely is. Both are best-effort helpers, not a live catalogue lookup.
Scan a barcode
Or identify by photo
Ask โ electrical trade AI
Quick answers on anything across the electrical trade โ products, terminology, what a customer means when they ask for something odd, cable sizing rules of thumb, HVAC/split/ducted, renewables/solar/battery, switchgear, industrial vs commercial vs domestic. Great for "a customer asked for 20mm quad โ what do they mean?" type questions. Not a substitute for AS/NZS 3000 or a licensed electrician's sign-off, but fast for translating terminology and jogging the memory.
Report something up the line
Anything that needs attention โ a problem, a shortage, something not working, a customer issue, a heads-up. It goes straight to the right people above you automatically, so you don't have to work out who to tell or chase anyone down.
Who's working today
Green = checked in and working today. Greyed = not rostered / not checked in. Updates as people check in each morning.
Staff roster
Who works which days. Set your own days in your row (highlighted); everyone else's is view-only. This is just the working roster, not task scheduling โ and it feeds the "Who's in" board.
Register a new drum
When new cable comes in on a drum, register it once here and it's shared with everyone. The drum card number is generated automatically.
Which drum should I use?
Tell it the cable and what you need โ it finds the drums that cable is on and recommends which to cut from, using up started drums before opening a fresh one. Spreads across multiple drums if needed. You can still override and pick any drum when you go to cut.
Cut from a drum
Pick the drum, it shows the current meter mark. Enter how many metres per cut and how many cuts โ it does the maths, shows each resulting mark, and records it against the customer and sales order. Physically check the drum marker matches before confirming.
Drum register
Resources & files
The compliance and safety records that used to be paper forms โ now filled out on your phone, saved for the whole team, and printable whenever you need a hard copy.
Add a hazardous item
Aerosols, glues, spray paint, butane refills, solvents โ anything on the hazardous register. Snap a photo, capture the details, and it's on file.
Hazardous chemical register
Backup & restore
Download a single file holding every record in the system โ drums, tasks, deliveries, proof-of-delivery, chat, roster, registers, checklists, the lot. Keep it somewhere safe (your desktop, a shared drive). If anything ever goes wrong, the restore button puts it all back from a file.
Set your browser's download location to this folder once (Chrome: Settings โ Downloads โ Location โ Change, and turn OFF "ask where to save"). Then every backup lands here silently. This note is just so everyone knows which folder the team agreed on.
Restore from a backup file
Pick a backup file to reload everything from it. This overwrites current data with what's in the file โ only use it if you're recovering from a problem.
How this tool helps you and the team
A rundown of what each part does โ not extra admin for its own sake, but ways to cut repeated phone calls, double-handling, paperwork, and end-of-day scrambling.
Daily brief: ramble out the whole day's jobs in one go โ jump between people however it comes out โ and it sorts everything into tidy per-person and per-group messages, ready to copy into one email to yourself and send on. No more writing the same instructions five times.
Task scheduler: assign jobs to anyone, set target times and priorities, and load a whole week of work that auto-feeds people four jobs at a time. Staff start/pause/finish their own tasks, the time they take is learned so future targets sharpen, and printable job sheets mean the warehouse crew can work off paper and report back.
Notifications & reporting: the mailbox up top collects everything relevant to you โ tasks assigned, jobs finished, overdue alerts. Anyone can report a problem or heads-up and it flows straight up the chain of command to the right managers automatically.
Daily check-in & Who's in: one tap each morning marks you in for the day, so the whole team can see at a glance who's working. The roster shows who's on which days โ everyone sets their own.
Delivery schedule: book runs by day (scheduled or ad-hoc), capture a signature, timestamp and location on handover as proof of delivery, and file the day's PODs. Multi-stop runs can be put in a sensible order automatically.
Cable cuts: a live drum register โ every cut recorded against a customer and sales order with start and end meter marks, so the metres left on every drum stay accurate across the whole team with no guesswork.
Resources & files: the paper compliance forms, now on your phone โ hazardous chemical register, cyclic stocktake log, and forklift/truck/ute safety checklists. Fill them in, save, and print when you need a hard copy.
Ask (electrical AI) & Barcode/ID: quick trade answers and terminology help, plus barcode and photo product lookups that search straight into the MMEM store.
Takeoff: upload a plan for a best-effort electrical and lighting count to speed up quoting (always check it by hand).
Team chat: a shared live chat with a day-by-day history you can look back through.
Calculators: conduit sizing, split-system and ducted cooling load โ seconds instead of tables or a phone call, on the counter or out on site.
None of this replaces judgement or a proper check before something ships โ it's here to take the repetitive, easy-to-forget admin off your plate so you've got more time for the actual job.
