Is it right for you?
Built for trades. Not for everyone.
Trade businesses end up juggling a booking tool, a quoting tool, an invoicing tool, a calendar and a shoebox of receipts, most charging per person and stamping their own name on your work. ONARA Ops pulls the lot into one system, on your brand, at one flat price. Here is who that suits, and who it does not.
Built for
Trade and service businesses, from a solo operator up to around 20 on the tools, who want a simpler way to run the day.
Probably not for
- ✗Large enterprise organisations
- ✗Manufacturing
- ✗Retail stores
- ✗Hospitality
- ✗Anything needing a highly specialised ERP
If that is you, we are probably not the right fit, and we would rather say so straight than sell you something that does not suit.
See everything, side by side
One tool that does the lot, for one price.
Most tools do part of the job and charge you per person or per job. Here is how ONARA compares to the tools tradies weigh up most.
