About

Built in a trade business, for trade businesses.

Dashboard Solutions started as an internal tool. An Australian cleaning and restoration company was running everything through ServiceM8 and still couldn't answer basic questions: how many enquiries did we actually miss, which quotes are going cold, how much finished work hasn't been invoiced.

The story

The spreadsheet that wouldn't die

Every month began the same way: exporting job lists, pasting them into a spreadsheet, and spending a night rebuilding the same summary. The answers were useful. The process was unsustainable.

So we built the thing that produced the answers automatically — reading straight from ServiceM8, updating through the day, and opening on the conclusion rather than a pile of rows. After a year of running the business on it, it was obvious that every ServiceM8 operator has the same gap.

Dashboard Solutions is that tool, rebuilt as a product — multi-business, secure, and set up in minutes instead of months.

The business it came from runs cleaning and restoration work across South East Queensland: hundreds of jobs a month, a call queue that never stops, technicians on the road, and an owner who found out about problems weeks after they cost money. Everything in the product exists because that owner needed it on a Tuesday morning, not because it demos well.

What we believe

A report should end in a decision.
If a page doesn't tell you what to do next, it's decoration.

Never touch the system of record.
Your ServiceM8 runs your business. A reporting tool has no business writing to it.

No number without a source.
Every figure clicks through to the jobs behind it.

Priced for a trade business.
Not enterprise BI pricing, not a consulting engagement.

Who it's for 🛠

Trade businesses past the point of remembering everything

Roughly five to fifty staff. Enough jobs that nobody can hold the whole month in their head, but not enough overhead for a full-time analyst or a $30k BI project.

🚗

Cleaning, restoration & facilities

High job volume, lots of recurring customers, and revenue that leaks through missed enquiries and unbilled work.

🔧

Plumbing, electrical & HVAC

Quote-driven work where the difference between a good and a bad month is conversion and follow-up speed.

🏗

Specialist contractors

Smaller crews running big-ticket jobs, where two stalled quotes are a material problem.

How we work

A small team, close to the users

We're based in Queensland and we build in short cycles with the operators using the product. If you tell us a number is wrong, you're talking to the person who wrote the query — not a support tier.

We deliberately keep the product narrow: reporting and decisions. We don't want to be your job management system, your accounting file, or your CRM. Those already exist and you already pay for them. ✅

Everything you see in the dashboard is traceable. Every figure clicks through to the jobs or invoices behind it, and every module states what it counts and over what period, so you can argue with it.
