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.

Cloud ERP for Small Business

Why Businesses Like Yours Struggle With This

Running your business on disconnected tools creates gaps that cost real money. Here is what we hear from businesses before they switch to CanTicket.

On-Premise ERP Costs

Traditional on-premise ERP systems require server hardware, IT infrastructure, software licences, annual maintenance contracts and dedicated IT staff to keep them running. For a small business, this adds up to tens of thousands of dollars before a single employee logs in. Cloud ERP eliminates all of these costs and replaces them with a simple monthly subscription that scales with your usage.

IT Maintenance Burden

Even small ERP deployments require ongoing IT maintenance: security patches, software updates, backup management and user administration. For small businesses without a dedicated IT team, this burden typically falls on the owner or a reluctant staff member. Cloud ERP like CanTicket handles all of this automatically in the background so your team can focus on billable work instead of system maintenance.

Scalability Limits

On-premise ERP systems are difficult and expensive to scale. Adding users, storage or functionality often requires hardware upgrades, additional licences and IT projects. Cloud ERP scales elastically with your business: add a new team member in minutes, access new features automatically as they are released, and never worry about running out of capacity.

Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't

CanTicket is purpose-built for service businesses that need real-time visibility without enterprise complexity or price tags.

Zero Infrastructure

CanTicket runs entirely in the cloud. There is nothing to install, no servers to configure and no IT project to complete before your first login. Your team accesses CanTicket through any browser on any device, whether they are in the office, working from home or on-site with a client. The only thing you need to get started is an internet connection.

Automatic Updates

CanTicket is updated automatically in the background so your team always has access to the latest features and security patches without any action required. There is no maintenance window, no downtime and no update project to manage. New features are announced in the platform and available immediately after release.

Scales With You

CanTicket grows with your business. Add new team members in minutes, create unlimited jobs and clients, and access every feature from day one regardless of your team size. There are no per-module fees, no storage limits and no penalty for growth. Your subscription adjusts as your team size changes, nothing else.

Xero Cloud Sync

CanTicket and Xero are both cloud platforms that connect seamlessly. Your financial data, client records and invoicing all flow between the two systems in real time. No file exports, no CSV uploads and no manual reconciliation. Both your operations and your accounting always reflect the same reality.

Two Cloud Platforms Working as One: CanTicket and Xero

CanTicket and Xero are both designed for the cloud from the ground up, which means their integration is seamless and real-time. There are no batch transfers, no overnight syncs and no manual file uploads. When your team does something in CanTicket, the financial impact appears in Xero immediately. When your accountant records a payment in Xero, the job status updates in CanTicket automatically. This is what truly connected cloud software looks like.

Real-time two-way data sync between CanTicket and Xero with no delay

Invoice drafts in CanTicket appear as Xero invoice drafts instantly

Client records created in either system appear in the other automatically

Bank reconciliation in Xero updates job payment status in CanTicket

No additional software or middleware required for the integration to work

Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud ERP and how is it different from traditional ERP?

Cloud ERP is business management software that runs on remote servers accessed via the internet rather than on servers you own and manage. Traditional on-premise ERP requires significant upfront investment in hardware, software licences and IT infrastructure, followed by ongoing maintenance costs. Cloud ERP like CanTicket is accessed via subscription, requires no infrastructure investment and is maintained and updated by the software provider. For small businesses, cloud ERP is almost always more cost-effective and easier to use than on-premise alternatives.

Is cloud ERP software secure for business data?

CanTicket uses bank-grade encryption to protect your data in transit and at rest. Data is stored in Australian-based data centres that meet ISO 27001 security standards. Access is controlled by role-based permissions so team members only see the data relevant to their role. Multi-factor authentication is supported for all user accounts. For small businesses, CanTicket's cloud security is typically far more robust than what an on-premise system would provide.

How does CanTicket handle data backups?

CanTicket performs automatic continuous backups of all customer data. Backups are stored across multiple geographic locations so your data is protected against any single point of failure. In the event of data loss or corruption, data can be restored to any point in time. There is nothing you need to do to enable or manage backups: they happen automatically as part of the CanTicket service.

Can my team access CanTicket while working remotely or on-site?

Yes. Because CanTicket is a cloud application, it is accessible from any internet-connected device including laptops, tablets and smartphones. Team members can log time, update job status and check project details from anywhere. This is particularly valuable for businesses with field-based or remote workers who need to stay connected to the office without being physically present.

What happens to my data if I stop using CanTicket?

If you choose to stop using CanTicket, you can export all of your data in standard formats before closing your account. CanTicket provides data export tools for jobs, clients, time records, invoices and financial data. You are never locked into the platform and your data always remains yours. We recommend exporting a complete data archive before closing an account so you have a permanent record of your business history.
