You still run the show. Kel just makes sure the admin doesn't run you. Talk to her like you'd talk to your bookkeeper, and she keeps the fiddly bits ticking over so you can get on with the actual work.
Set-up takes about ten minutes, most of it once and never again. Here's the run of it.
First month's on usLog in any time at itsallsorted.com.au/login.html with the email and password you set up at sign-up. Forgot it? Tap "Forgot password?" on the login screen and you'll get an email to set a new one.
First time you open it on your phone, your browser will usually offer to add Its All Sorted to your home screen. Say yes and it sits there like any other app, one tap to open. If it doesn't pop up, open your browser menu and pick "Add to Home screen".
The first time you open a fresh account, Kel walks you through the essentials right on screen - your business details, your ABN, your bank, and adding your first customer. Skip any of it and pick it back up any time from Account.
Four tabs along the bottom:
And the green Tap & talk to Kel bar sits along the bottom wherever you are.
Kel's opening walkthrough gets most of this done for you. The one bit worth knowing: when you add your ABN, you just type the number in and the app looks your business up on the government register - filling in your name and GST position for you. No typing it all out.
You can do or redo any of it in Account → business profile: ABN and GST, phone, your bank details for the bottom of invoices, and your logo. Set it once and it flows onto every quote and invoice from then on.
Open Customers. There are two kinds of people you bill:
This is the one you'll use most. The green Tap & talk to Kel bar sits along the bottom of the app wherever you are. Tap the mic, say it out loud – the name, the number, what they want – and it's logged in seconds. Kel sorts what you said into a lead, a note or a reminder for you.
Open a lead and tap Quote it, or start a fresh quote from the customer. Build it, then send it your way: email it (the customer gets a tidy email with a green Accept button and the PDF attached), or share it straight to text or WhatsApp.
The moment they tap accept, you're told and it becomes a job ready to book. No chasing paperwork.
Pop the job in with a date, and a time if you want one. It shows up under What's On on your Home screen for the day it's booked, earliest first.
Need to move it? Open the job and tap Reschedule to pick a new date.
When you've finished on site, tap the job open and mark it done. That drops it straight into Ready to Invoice. Done for cash instead? Tell it that and it's settled on the spot, no invoice needed.
Open the job from Ready to Invoice. The invoice is already filled in, and it's built the right way for who you're billing:
Give it a once-over, hit send, and the PDF goes out attached, by email, text, WhatsApp, or however you talk to your customers. Your invoice numbers climb on their own. Want to see it first? There's a Preview PDF before anything's sent.
When the money lands, open the invoice and mark it paid. That's it.
Once an invoice is past due (that's the terms you set, On receipt or 7, 14, 30 days), it shows up as Overdue with a Send reminder button. Tap it and a polite reminder goes out, worded right and sent to whoever the invoice went to.
Kel's your offsider. Tap her anytime and ask her in plain words. She'll tell you where things are at, and set jobs up for you to tap and confirm. She never fires anything off on her own, and you can tap through the whole app yourself without her if that's more your style.
Open Its All Sorted on a computer and you get the desktop version, same login, same data. It's the one for a sit-down: a dashboard of how you're tracking, bulk-importing your whole contact list from a spreadsheet, and pulling reports for the accountant. It swaps to desktop on its own when you're on a computer.
