CanTicket is cloud ERP and job management software for small businesses and professional services teams. It brings project management, time tracking, job costing, invoicing and staffing into one system with live margin visibility, so you can see exactly what every job, client and staff member is earning or costing in real time — connected to the Xero you already run.

How is CanTicket different from Asana, Trello or Monday?

Project management tools like Asana, Trello and Monday show you what work is happening, but not what it is worth. CanTicket is job costing and project profitability software as well as a small business ERP — it tracks real-time margin on every job, so you manage profit, staffing and capacity, not just task status.

Does CanTicket work with Xero?

Yes. CanTicket offers a two-way Xero ERP integration that pulls real cost, payroll and invoice data straight from Xero and maps it to every job. Your job costing and margin reporting run on actual accounting numbers, not estimates — which is why it is popular accountant- and advisor-recommended small business software.

Who is CanTicket for?

CanTicket is built for service and project-based small businesses — agencies, marketing and creative studios, consulting firms, IT services and professional services teams, typically between $500K and $5M in revenue. If you deliver work through people's time and need better ERP, staffing and profitability visibility than spreadsheets can give, CanTicket is for you.

How much does CanTicket cost?

CanTicket uses one flat per-seat price with everything included — job management, job costing, project profitability, real-time margin tracking, Xero integration and the AI team — with no feature gating and no per-tier gouging. See the pricing page for current rates.

How hard is it to switch to CanTicket?

Most teams migrate in a few clicks. Your boards, tasks, time and staffing come across from tools like Asana, Harvest and Trello, and CanTicket connects straight to Xero — so you are adding real-time margin and ERP visibility to your existing workflow, not rebuilding your small business software stack from scratch.

Yes. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, tenant-isolated per company, and never sold. Full detail on our security and privacy practices is on the security page.

Does CanTicket track what our AI usage costs?

Yes. Every AI action the CanTicket team takes — Madi checking margin, Atlas balancing capacity, Opti clearing admin — is metered and attributed to the job, client or department it ran for. AI consumption shows up as a real, itemised cost line alongside labour and expenses, not as an invisible platform fee, so you always know what the automation is costing you and where it is being spent.

Why does tracking AI consumption matter for financial transparency?

AI is quietly becoming a real operating expense, and in most businesses it sits in a single unallocated software bill nobody can break down. Tracking consumption per job puts that spend where it actually belongs: your job costing and project profitability numbers include the cost to serve, your margin reporting stays honest, and the expense flows into Xero already coded — so your accountant, your board and your clients see the same defensible figure.

Business Management Software for SMEs

Where Growing Businesses Get Stuck

The tools that worked at $300k revenue start breaking down at $1M. CanTicket is built for the operational complexity that comes with growth.

Disconnected Tools

The average Australian SME uses between four and seven different software tools to manage their business. These tools do not talk to each other. Information gets re-entered, data gets lost between systems and no one ever has a complete picture of what is happening across the business in real time.

Data Silos

When your project data is in one tool, your time data is in another and your financial data is in accounting software, you end up with three siloed datasets that tell three different stories. Reconciling them takes hours every month and still produces reports that no one fully trusts.

Fragmented Reporting

Generating a management report from disconnected tools means pulling data from multiple sources, pasting it into a spreadsheet and hoping nothing was missed. This process is slow, error-prone and always out of date by the time it is finished. CanTicket generates live management reports with one click.

Operational Clarity From Day One

Every CanTicket feature is built around the operational realities of Australian SMEs running jobs, managing teams and trying to grow profitably.

Unified Job Management

Every job in CanTicket has a complete record of scope, budget, costs, team assignments, time entries and billing status. No more hunting across tools to find out what is happening on a specific job.

Team Collaboration Built-In

CanTicket gives your team a shared workspace for jobs, tasks and communication. Team members see their assignments, log their time and update job status without needing a separate project management tool.

Live Financial Dashboards

CanTicket generates real-time dashboards showing revenue, costs, margins and cash flow. These dashboards pull from live job data and Xero simultaneously so the numbers are always current and always accurate.

Xero Auto-Sync

Every financial transaction in CanTicket flows to Xero automatically. Invoices, purchase orders, expense claims and time-based billing all sync without manual intervention, keeping your accounting records clean and current.

The Xero Connection Your Team Will Notice

CanTicket and Xero work together so seamlessly that your team stops thinking about the integration and just sees accurate numbers everywhere they look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CanTicket different from other business management software for SMEs?

CanTicket is purpose-built for Australian SMEs that need to manage complex operational work alongside their finances. Most business management software either focuses on project management without financial integration, or on accounting without operational depth. CanTicket connects both in one platform with Xero at the core. This means your operational data and your financial data are always consistent, your team works in one system and your accountant sees accurate numbers without any manual effort from your side.

Can CanTicket replace the combination of project management and accounting tools we currently use?

For most SMEs, CanTicket replaces the project or job management tool, the time tracking tool and the reporting tool, while keeping Xero for accounting. This typically means replacing three to four tools with one platform. The result is lower software subscription costs, less time spent switching between tools and much better data quality because information is entered once and flows everywhere automatically. Xero remains because it is the best accounting tool for Australian SMEs and CanTicket makes it even more powerful.

How many team members can use CanTicket and what does it cost?

CanTicket is priced per user per month with plans available for teams of all sizes. Whether you have five team members or fifty, CanTicket scales to fit without requiring a different product tier or a complex licencing arrangement. Pricing is transparent and published on the CanTicket website. During your demo, we will walk through the pricing options that make sense for your team size and the features you need.

What happens to our existing data when we switch to CanTicket?

CanTicket's onboarding team assists with data migration as part of the implementation process. Existing jobs, client records, cost codes and historical data can be migrated from spreadsheets and other platforms. Xero data remains in Xero and is connected to CanTicket from the point of go-live forward. We recommend keeping historical data in read-only format in your previous tools during a transition period, then archiving once your team is comfortable with the new setup.

Does CanTicket work for businesses with both office-based and field-based teams?

Yes. CanTicket is designed for businesses with mixed teams, including office staff managing jobs and quoting, field staff completing work and updating job status and management reviewing dashboards. The mobile interface is fully functional for field teams and works on any smartphone or tablet without requiring a native app download. Office-based staff use the full web interface. All updates are real-time across all team members regardless of location.
