IT Solutions Built for the Trades
Running a trade business in Sydney means long days on the tools, tight deadlines, and a never-ending pile of admin waiting for you at home. OnIT Solutions builds technology systems specifically designed for electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, and all other tradespeople who need their business to run smoothly without getting bogged down in paperwork.
We automate the repetitive tasks that eat into your evenings — job scheduling, quote generation, invoice follow-ups, and payment reminders. Instead of manually chasing customers or re-entering data across multiple apps, your systems talk to each other and handle the admin automatically. You quote faster, invoice sooner, and get paid more reliably.
Our cloud-based setup means you can access job details, client history, and business documents from any device — whether you're on the roof, in the van, or at a supplier. And when something goes wrong with your tech, our support team speaks plain English, not IT jargon, so you can get back to work fast.
One of the most impactful things we do for trade businesses is connect their job management software to their accounting system. Most tradies are using tools like ServiceM8, Tradify, or simPRO to manage jobs, but are still manually re-entering invoice data into Xero or MYOB. This double-entry creates errors, delays invoicing, and wastes hours every week. By integrating these systems, completed jobs trigger invoices automatically, payment statuses sync in real time, and your end-of-month reconciliation becomes a fraction of the work it used to be. For a busy trade business completing 20 or more jobs per week, this single integration alone typically saves three to five hours of admin time each week.
Cybersecurity is also an increasingly important consideration for trade businesses. Client databases, banking details, quote histories, and subcontractor information are valuable targets for cybercriminals, and trade businesses are frequently targeted precisely because they tend to have weaker security than larger companies. OnIT Solutions ensures that all trade business clients have multi-factor authentication on their key accounts, encrypted cloud storage for sensitive documents, regular data backups, and basic endpoint protection on their devices. We also provide guidance on how to identify and avoid phishing emails — the most common way that trade businesses fall victim to fraud and data theft. These protections are included in our managed IT plans and don't require any ongoing effort from you once they're set up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be tech-savvy to use your systems?
Not at all. We set everything up for you, train your team, and provide ongoing support in plain English. If you can use a smartphone, you can use our systems. We handle all the technical complexity in the background.
What trade businesses do you work with?
We work with electricians, plumbers, builders, carpenters, painters, HVAC technicians, landscapers, and all other trade businesses across Sydney. Whether you're a sole trader or running a team of 20, we have solutions that scale with you.
Can you integrate with my existing job management software?
Yes. We integrate with popular tradie platforms including ServiceM8, Tradify, simPRO, and others. We can also connect your job management system to your accounting software like Xero or MYOB, so invoices flow through automatically without double-entry.
How quickly can you get my systems set up?
Most tradie setups are completed within one to two weeks. We start with a discovery session to understand how you currently work, then build and test your automations before going live. There's no downtime to your existing operations during the transition.
Is my business data secure in the cloud?
Absolutely. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and we implement multi-factor authentication and regular backups. Your customer details, quotes, and invoices are far more secure in the cloud than on a local device that could be lost, stolen, or damaged on-site.
