Outgrown MYOB? CanTicket Gives You ERP Without the Chaos
MYOB is a great accounting tool. But it is not an ERP. When you need job costing, real-time margins and team tracking, CanTicket picks up where MYOB leaves off.
Where Existing Tools Fall Short
Most software is built for the extremes. CanTicket is designed for the reality of running a growing Australian business with real operational complexity.
MYOB Limitations for Operations
MYOB is built around double-entry accounting and invoicing. It does not have a concept of jobs, projects or operational workflows. If you want to track the cost of a specific job against its quoted price in real time, MYOB cannot do it natively. Businesses end up building workarounds in spreadsheets that add complexity and create errors.
No Job Costing in MYOB
MYOB records expenses against accounts, not against jobs. This means you can see how much you spent on materials overall, but you cannot easily see how much you spent on a specific project or client. Without job-level costing, you cannot know which jobs are profitable and which ones are losing you money.
Project Visibility Gap
MYOB shows you the financial outcome after the fact. It does not show you what is happening inside a job in real time. By the time you see a job is over budget in MYOB, it is too late to do anything about it. CanTicket shows you margin and cost data as the job progresses, so you can intervene before a job becomes a loss.
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
CanTicket is built around the features that actually matter for Australian SMEs. No bloat, no complexity, no expensive add-ons.
Full ERP on Top of Xero
Rather than replacing your accounting software, CanTicket adds a full operational layer on top of Xero. You get job management, costing, time tracking and team management without losing your existing accounting workflows.
Job Costing MYOB Cannot Match
Every cost in CanTicket is assigned to a specific job, automatically. Labour, materials, subcontractors and expenses all flow to the correct job in real time so you always know exactly where your margins stand.
Real-Time Dashboards
CanTicket gives you a live view of every active job, including budgeted vs actual costs, margin percentage and completion status. No waiting for month-end reports to find out how you are tracking.
2-Week Migration
Switching from MYOB to CanTicket and Xero takes around two weeks. Our migration team handles data transfer, Xero setup and team training so the transition is smooth and causes minimal disruption to your operations.
