The ERP Built for Small Business. Not Enterprise.
CanTicket gives Australian small businesses real-time job costing, live margin tracking and native Xero sync without the $50,000 enterprise price tag or 18-month implementation.
Why Most Small Businesses 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.
Spreadsheet Chaos
Most small businesses manage jobs, costs and invoicing across a patchwork of spreadsheets, email threads and sticky notes. The result is hours of admin every week and a constant risk of mistakes slipping through. When a client asks for a job update or a cost breakdown, finding the answer takes far too long.
Invoice Leakage
When time and materials are tracked separately from invoicing, billable work falls through the cracks. Australian SMEs lose an average of $22,000 per year to unbilled labour and materials that never make it onto a final invoice. CanTicket closes that gap by connecting every cost directly to client billing.
No Real-Time Visibility
By the time a monthly report lands, the damage is already done. Margin problems, cost overruns and scope creep are far cheaper to fix mid-project than after the invoice is sent. Without live data, small business owners are always reacting instead of leading.
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.
Job Costing Built In
Every job in CanTicket has its own budget, cost tracker and margin view. Labour, materials, subcontractors and expenses all flow into a single job cost card so you always know where you stand. No formulas to build, no separate spreadsheet to maintain.
Real-Time Margins
Your margin dashboard updates the moment a cost is entered or time is logged. See gross margin by job, by client and across your whole portfolio at any time. Fix problems while the job is still open, not after the invoice is out the door.
Team Tracking
Assign tasks to team members, track time against jobs and see who is working on what in real time. CanTicket makes it easy to see utilisation across your team without chasing updates in Slack or spreadsheets.
Native Xero Sync
CanTicket connects directly to Xero with a two-way sync. Clients, invoices and payments flow between the two systems automatically. Your accountant sees accurate data in Xero while your team works in CanTicket. No double entry, no reconciliation headaches.
Your Accountant Already Uses Xero. CanTicket Keeps It That Way.
CanTicket does not ask you to replace Xero or convince your accountant to learn a new system. Instead, CanTicket adds the operational layer that Xero is missing: job tracking, live costing and team management. Everything your team does in CanTicket flows automatically into Xero, so your books are always accurate and your accountant is always happy.
- Two-way client and contact sync between CanTicket and Xero
- Invoices created in CanTicket push directly to Xero with one click
