Built for Australian Painters
From interior repaints to exterior weatherboards, roof restorations to cabinet resprays and feature walls — quote the job per room or m², track materials markup, schedule your crew, and get paid faster. Built for Australian painters who'd rather be cutting in than chasing paperwork.





Everything You Need
Forget clunky desktop software. OneBookPlus is the painting business app designed for painters who spend their days on ladders and scaffold — not at a desk.
Build itemised quotes for interior repaints (room-by-room), exterior weatherboards (per m²), roof restorations, and feature walls. Itemise prep, undercoat, top coats, and trim — customers accept with one click.
Snap before, during, and after photos and attach them to the job record. Show off your work, document any prep issues, and keep proof of finish quality for warranty disputes.
Manage multi-painter crews with a clear week view. Assign painters to jobs, track who's on prep vs top coats, and balance workload across interior, exterior, and roof restoration teams.
Every invoice automatically calculates 10% GST and displays your ABN and painter trade details. Export GST summaries at BAS time — your accountant will thank you.
Log paint, primers, fillers, sandpaper, and tape against each job. Set your standard markup so materials are charged at cost-plus automatically — your true margin shows on every invoice.
Set repeat reminders for clients due for refresh work — exterior repaints every 7-10 years, weatherboard touch-ups, or annual feature wall updates. Bring repeat customers back automatically.
Track your 90-day quote conversion rate. See week-over-week revenue trends so you know if your interior, exterior, and roof restoration pipelines are growing or tightening.
Record exact colour codes, paint brands, and finish types per client property. When the homeowner calls back five years later for a touch-up, you have the Dulux Natural White on the trim already on file.
Embed a free-quote booking page on your website or share the link via Facebook. Homeowners pick a time for an on-site colour consult or quote inspection — without back-and-forth phone tag.
See it in action
Not mockups — these are the real product screens for your day-to-day.
Interior repaints, exterior weatherboards, roof restorations — itemised line items with prep, undercoat and topcoats.

Invoice while the brushes are still drying. Branded PDF, line items, ABN, Stripe Pay Now link.

Bedrooms, full repaints, roof jobs, cabinet resprays — every job with status, scheduled crew and progress photos.

Simple Workflow
From quote to payment in four simple steps — designed around a typical painter's day on the tools.
Create an itemised quote per room or per m² for the interior repaint, exterior weatherboard, or roof restoration — labour, paint, prep, and undercoat with GST calculated automatically. Send as a professional PDF with your ABN.
Once accepted, the job drops into your calendar. Assign the right painters, track time on-site, log paint and materials used, and snap before/after photos against the job record.
Convert the quote to a GST-compliant invoice with one tap. Materials are already marked up at your standard cost-plus rate. Send to the customer before you pack down the drop sheets.
Customers pay online via the invoice link. Automated reminders chase overdue payments and recurring repaint reminders bring repeat clients back so you can focus on the next job.

About the author
Founder & CEO, OneBookPlus
Bishal has over a decade of experience in digital marketing, web development, and small business consulting across Australia. He has worked directly with Australian painting businesses — sole-trader painters, multi-crew companies, roof restoration specialists — helping them streamline quoting, materials markup, and crew scheduling.
Running a painting business in Australia means juggling more admin than most painters signed up for. You're measuring up weatherboards from the front lawn, quoting interior repaints room-by-room from the ute, then coming home to reconcile ServiceM8 jobs against Xero invoices. Many painters pay $49/month for ServiceM8, $35/month for Xero, and another $12–27/month for a booking page and CRM — yet none of these tools were designed for the way painters actually price work. You end up double-entering data, chasing paperwork between systems, and spending your Saturday mornings calculating materials markup instead of pressure-cleaning the next job.
OneBookPlus replaces that patchwork with one platform built for how Australian painters actually work. Build interior quotes room-by-room or exterior quotes per square metre right from your phone. Attach before, during, and after photos to every job record so the proof of finish lives with the customer file forever. Convert accepted quotes to GST-compliant invoices with a single tap — with materials marked up at your standard cost-plus rate automatically. Track which crew is on which job, log paint and primers against the right line items, and store every client's exact colour codes so the touch-up call seven years from now is a one-minute job, not a treasure hunt.
It's 7am and your phone buzzes — a free-quote booking from your OneBookPlus page. Exterior weatherboards in Coburg, homeowner wants Dulux Weathershield. You head out, measure 142m² of weatherboards plus 38 linear metres of fascia, and build the quote on your phone in fifteen minutes: pressure clean and prep, undercoat, two top coats, GST calculated automatically. The homeowner accepts the quote link before lunch. Meanwhile your crew is at an interior repaint in Brunswick — they snap progress photos against the master bedroom and log the 4 × 4L tins of Dulux Wash & Wear used so far. Your week view shows three more cabinet respray quotes booked for tomorrow and a roof restoration crew on day three of a Reservoir job. Apprentices can see their assigned jobs on their own phones and tick off prep stages as they go.
Connect your business bank account via CDR Open Banking and OneBookPlus pulls in transactions daily. When the Coburg homeowner pays the weatherboard invoice, the payment is automatically matched against the outstanding amount — no manual reconciliation needed. Purchases from Inspirations Paint, Dulux trade, Wattyl, or Bunnings are categorised as paint and materials expenses. Lifters and scaffold hire from Kennards or Coates flow into equipment expenses. Our AI categorisation engine learns your patterns: ute fuel goes to vehicle expenses, public liability premiums to overheads, new spray gun purchases to assets. Come BAS time, your GST collected on sales and GST paid on purchases are already tallied. Export the summary in one click and forward it to your accountant — or lodge it yourself in minutes.
Sign up free — no credit card, no lock-in contract. Select “Painter” as your business type and OneBookPlus pre-configures your account with painting service categories (interior repaint, exterior weatherboard, roof restoration, cabinet respray, feature walls), typical job durations, and invoice templates with materials markup baked in. Import your customer list via CSV from ServiceM8, Tradify, or a spreadsheet — bring across colour codes and paint history if you've been keeping notes. Connect your bank account through the secure Open Banking flow. Most painters have their first quote sent within 30 minutes of signing up, and their bank feed categorising Inspirations Paint and Bunnings runs by the end of the first week. The switch from ServiceM8 and Xero typically takes a single evening.

Who it's for
Whether you're a sole-trader brush-and-roller or running a multi-crew company, OneBookPlus adapts to how painters work.
Running interior repaints solo, quoting from the ute, invoicing between rooms. Needs fast mobile quoting per room, automatic GST, and photo-rich job records.
Managing 4-12 painters across interior, exterior, and commercial jobs. Needs crew scheduling, week view, materials markup tracking, and team-wide quote pipelines.
Spray work, pressure cleaning, re-bedding, and re-pointing on tile and metal roofs. Needs detailed quoting, before/after photo records, and recurring maintenance reminders.
Cabinet resprays, kitchen makeovers, and feature walls. Needs precise materials tracking, colour-code CRM per client, and scheduling around joinery deliveries.
Stop overpaying
Most small businesses stitch together 4-6 tools that don't talk to each other. Here's what that typically costs.
Real-world scenario
How a Melbourne painter uses OneBookPlus on a typical Wednesday
Tony starts his day reviewing the week view — an interior repaint in Brunswick (lounge, hallway, two bedrooms), an exterior weatherboard quote in Coburg, and a roof restoration job in Reservoir his two crew members are on day three of.
At the Brunswick repaint, Tony's at the cut-in stage on the second bedroom. His apprentice Liam is rolling the hallway top coat. Tony flicks open the job record and snaps a couple of in-progress photos against the room — they'll go on the invoice as proof of work for the homeowner.
At 11am he drives to Coburg for the weatherboard quote. He measures up: 142m² of weatherboards, 38 linear metres of trim and fascia. On his phone he builds the quote — pressure clean and prep, undercoat, two top coats in Dulux Weathershield Natural White. Labour and paint itemised; markup applied automatically. $7,840 inc GST. Sent before he leaves the driveway.
Meanwhile in Reservoir, his crew finishes the roof restoration spray. They log the materials used (8 × 15L Wattyl Solagard, 6 × rebedding compound from Bunnings) and snap before/after photos showing the transformation from faded terracotta to fresh charcoal.
End of day: Brunswick interior 60% complete, Coburg quote out, Reservoir roof restoration invoiced for $11,200. Tony's dashboard shows quote win rate at 68% over the last 90 days — and three customers from 2018 due for repaint reminders this month. Come BAS time, his GST summary exports in one click.
