Why Businesses Hit a Wall

Most tools are built for either very small or very large businesses. CanTicket is purpose-built for the gap in between, where the real operational pain lives.

Too Big for Spreadsheets

When your business crosses $500k in revenue, spreadsheets start breaking down. Job costs get missed, margins become unclear and month-end becomes a nightmare of manual consolidation. You need something smarter, but you are not sure what.

Too Small for SAP

SAP, Oracle and other enterprise ERPs cost $100,000 to $500,000 to implement and require dedicated IT staff to maintain. For a business turning over $1M to $3M, that investment makes no sense whatsoever.

The Gap in the Market

Most tools pitch themselves at either freelancers or ASX-listed companies. There is a massive gap in the market for Australian businesses doing real, complex operational work at $500k to $5M scale. That is exactly where CanTicket lives.

Built for How You Actually Work

Every feature in CanTicket is designed around the real-world needs of Australian SMEs running complex operations without enterprise resources.

Right-Sized Implementation

CanTicket is designed to go live in 30 days without consultants or an IT department. Our onboarding team handles the setup, data migration and training so your team is up and running fast.

Scales With Revenue

Start with the features you need today and add more as your revenue grows. CanTicket scales from $500k to $10M without requiring a system migration or a new platform.

No IT Department Needed

CanTicket is a cloud-based platform that requires zero infrastructure, zero servers and zero IT staff to maintain. Updates happen automatically and your data is always backed up.

Xero Native Integration

CanTicket connects directly to your Xero account so every job cost, invoice and purchase order flows through to your accountant automatically, without manual data entry.

Xero Integration

Built on Top of Xero, Not Instead of It

CanTicket does not replace your accounting software. It supercharges it. Every job, every cost and every invoice flows directly into Xero without manual data entry, CSV exports or reconciliation headaches.

  • Automatic two-way sync with Xero for all job costs and invoices
  • Real-time profit and loss visibility without waiting for month-end
  • Your accountant sees clean, categorised data the moment it happens
  • No duplicate data entry across systems, ever
  • Works with your existing Xero chart of accounts and tax codes

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes CanTicket the right ERP for $500k to $5M revenue businesses?
CanTicket is purpose-built for Australian businesses in the $500k to $5M revenue range, which is where most ERP tools fail. Enterprise systems are too expensive and too complex for this cohort, while basic accounting tools do not provide the operational depth you need. CanTicket gives you full job costing, real-time margins and team tracking at a price point and complexity level that makes sense for your stage of growth. You get ERP-grade visibility without the enterprise-grade price tag.
How long does it take to implement CanTicket for a business at this revenue level?
Most businesses in the $500k to $5M range go live with CanTicket within 30 days. The process includes a discovery session, data migration from your existing tools, Xero integration setup and team training. Unlike enterprise ERP implementations that take 12 to 18 months, CanTicket is designed to be operational fast so you start seeing ROI in your first month. Our onboarding team handles the heavy lifting so your team can stay focused on running the business.
Will CanTicket replace Xero for my bookkeeping and accounting?
CanTicket does not replace Xero. It works on top of Xero to give you the operational layer that accounting software lacks. Your Xero account stays exactly as it is, and CanTicket pushes job costs, time entries and invoices directly into Xero automatically. Your accountant continues to work in Xero and sees cleaner, more detailed data than before. Think of CanTicket as the operations engine that feeds Xero with accurate, real-time information.
What is the typical ROI for a business in the $500k to $5M revenue band?
Businesses in this revenue range typically recover between $30,000 and $80,000 in their first year through reduced admin time, better job costing accuracy and fewer missed billable hours. The payback period averages around four months. The biggest gains come from eliminating manual data entry, catching margin blowouts before they become losses and reducing the time spent preparing for month-end. We can walk you through a detailed ROI estimate for your specific business during a demo.
Can CanTicket handle multiple service lines or a mix of products and services?
Yes. CanTicket is built for businesses with complex operational profiles, including those running multiple service lines, project-based work, recurring contracts and product sales side by side. Each job type can have its own costing structure, team assignment and billing workflow. If your business does a mix of field service, consulting and product supply, CanTicket handles all of it in one platform without requiring separate tools for each business unit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
