Snapshot of Fergus Software

Built by a Tradie, for Tradies

Fergus is job management software designed to give trade business owners complete clarity and control.

Built by veteran plumber Dan Pollard after burning out in his own business, Fergus was born from firsthand experience of the chaos and stress that can come with running a trade operation without the right systems in place.

Dan developed Fergus to solve his own pain points, tracking jobs, managing cash flow, and freeing up time to actually grow the business. It worked so well, he scaled his team from four to 24 in under four years, and eventually stepped away from day-to-day operations entirely. That success became the foundation for Fergus, now used by thousands of tradies around the world.

Why Fergus Is a Great Place to Work

Trades at the Heart This isn’t software built in a vacuum. Fergus was founded by a tradie and exists to solve real problems for real people. Every feature is designed to make life simpler for business owners who are often wearing ten hats at once.

Clear Mission, Real Impact Fergus helps owners move from reactive chaos to proactive growth. You’re not just building tech, you’re giving people their evenings and weekends back.

A Strong Values Culture From aiming high and keeping things simple, to always putting the customer first, Fergus operates as one team with integrity and purpose. There’s no fluff, just a shared focus on delivering impact.

Grit Meets Growth With deep roots in the trades and a growing footprint across New Zealand, Australia, and beyond, Fergus is scaling fast, but staying true to its practical, people-first DNA.

Built to Work Hard So You Don’t Have To Fergus takes care of scheduling, quoting, timesheets, invoicing and more, so business owners can focus on doing great work, not drowning in admin.

If you’re excited to help empower tradies to build better businesses and better lives, Fergus is always keen to meet mission-driven folks ready to roll up their sleeves.
