ONARA Ops keeps getting better.

Added

• +ONARA Ops is on the App Store. Search ONARA Ops or grab it from the link in the footer, log in and everything is exactly where you left it. Android keeps working the same as always in the browser, installed like an app
• +Subbies on jobs. Log what you pay a subcontractor right next to your materials, capture their ABN as you go, and the Reports page keeps a running subbie payments table for the financial year, which is your TPAR building itself instead of an August panic
• +Send a job to a subbie by text. They get a link, see the work, the address and the money, and accept on their phone with no app and no account. When they mark it done, the cost lands on your job with their ABN attached, ready to bill on
• +A set-up checklist on your dashboard that ticks itself off as your account gets going, so the five moves that matter most are never a mystery
• +Checklist templates on job types. Build the checklist once against a job type and every job of that type arrives with it already filled in, instead of typing it job by job. There is a shortcut too: get one job's checklist right, then tap Save as the template. A type can also carry a default write-up now, so the description arrives pre-filled as well. Straight from member feedback
• +Quotes now chase themselves. A polite nudge goes to the customer three days after you send a quote, another at seven, and a heads-up before an expiry date lapses. It stops the moment they respond, you can turn it off per quote or for the whole business, and every send is logged in Messages. Invoices already chased themselves; now the money is followed up at both ends
• +See when they've seen it. Sent quotes and invoices now show "Seen by the customer" with the time they first opened the email, or a warning when the email bounced, so you know whether to wait, call, or fix the address. First open only, and it says nothing when it cannot know for sure
• +Signatures on your phone. Standing with the customer? They can accept a quote by signing on your phone, and when the work is done they can sign it off the same way. Name, signature and time are kept with the job as a record that cannot be edited, and a signed job prints its signature on the job sheet
• +Your rate: are you charging enough? On your Team page, the charge-out calculator other apps sell now lives in ONARA, pre-filled with your REAL numbers: your actual costs from Books and your actual billable hours from timesheets, instead of guesses. See your recommended rate, see who on the team charges under it, and set their rate to it in one tap
• +Kits. Bundle the jobs you price again and again, labour and materials together, on your Price list. Pick a kit on a quote or invoice and every line drops in at once, priced your way with your markups. Other apps charge $99 a month for a version of this
• +Quote options: good, better, best. Offer up to three named options on one quote ("Repair" / "Replace" / "Replace + upgrade"), each with its own lines and price. The customer sees them side by side on their page and picks one, and the chosen option becomes the job, the invoice and the paperwork. The industry stat behind it: shown options, most customers pick better than basic

Improved

• +The Reports page has been rebuilt: colour coded, plain English, and it now earns its spot on the menu
• +The guided tour covers much more of the app, and you can replay it any time from Help
• +Your public booking and landing pages got a cleaner, whiter look

Added

• +Purchase orders. Order materials from your supplier on your own letterhead, with your own PO number, emailed to them or sent as a link. When it turns up, one tap adds every line to the job's materials ready to bill. Most apps charge extra for this or do not have it
• +Markup on materials. Set what you add to the gear you buy for a job, and the job totals up what it cost you, what the customer pays, and what you made. Leave it empty and materials charge at cost, exactly as before
• +More than one person on a job. Put your whole crew on it: everyone sees it, gets it on their schedule, can clock onto it, and is told when you add them

Improved

• +Timesheets got a full going-over: hours land on the day the work happened, a timer left running overnight can't bank three days, and times read in your own timezone

Fixed

• +Hours logged against a job could be charged again on a second invoice from that job. They are now billed once, the same way materials always have been

Added

• +Ex GST pricing. A builder's purchase order is written plus GST, so now you can type the exact figure off the PO and your customer sees subtotal, GST and total separately. Homeowner work is unchanged, and you choose per job. Shows up if you are registered for GST
• +Preview what your customer gets before you send it. The real page they open, the email that carries it, and who it is going to. Nothing sends while you are looking
• +Cancel an invoice you sent by mistake. It stops being chased, stops counting as money owed, keeps its number so your numbering stays straight, and anyone opening the link sees it is cancelled
• +Describe the work once on the job and it carries onto the quote and the invoice

Fixed

• +Invoices sent before about 8am were being given a due date one day early
• +Business settings no longer clear other details saved against your business when you save

Added

• +Accepting a quote now turns it into a job in one tap, bringing the customer, address and details across. Won it on the phone? Mark it accepted yourself instead of waiting for them to click the link
• +Quotes and invoices can go to more than one person. Save the contacts on a customer, say who gets quotes and who gets invoices, and add a one-off address when someone needs a copy
• +A search box at the top of every page. Find a job, a customer, an invoice or a setting by typing a few letters
• +Your job page now lists the quotes and invoices raised against it, so you can see what you quoted and whether you have already billed it
• +Materials you tick as chargeable now carry onto the invoice instead of being retyped
• +Optional start times on jobs, and your jobs in whatever calendar you already use

Improved

• +The price list is easier to find, and now drops down on a quote, an invoice, or when logging materials on a job
• +PO, work order, claim and insurer numbers sit openly on the job and print at the top of the PDF, instead of hiding behind a heading
• +Your quotes list shows how old each one is, so you know which to chase
• +Only jobs you have not cancelled or completed show on your schedule and calendar

Fixed

• +Adding photos to a job only ever uploaded five at a time and discarded the rest without saying so. Add as many as you like now
• +Hours logged before 8am were being recorded against the previous day
• +Quotes and invoices sent to a customer with a comma in their address could silently fail to find them in search

Added

• +A price list that remembers your supplier costs and markups, so quotes build themselves and you always see your margin
• +Recurring invoices for repeat customers, generated automatically
• +Milestone invoicing, so you can bill a large job in stages
• +Attach photos and files to your quotes and invoices
• +An end of financial year tax pack to hand straight to your accountant
• +A guided setup tour for your first job, quote and invoice

Improved

• +Every Books report now downloads as a branded PDF with your logo, ABN and contacts

Added

• +Online booking pages with a customisable booking form, so your customers book you directly
• +Quotes and invoices in your branding, sent by email with a shareable link
• +Pay now on invoices, powered by Stripe, money goes straight to you and we take no cut
• +Job scheduling with list and calendar views, and assign work to your team
• +Customer records with history, notes and job photos in one place
• +Team roles (owner, manager and staff), each with the right level of access
• +ONARA Books, an optional built-in bookkeeping add-on (income, expenses, BAS, reports)
• +One-way Xero sync for businesses that already use it
• +SMS and email notifications for new bookings, quotes and invoices
• +Works on any device and installs to your phone like an app
