The report card
Best for cabinet makers and joinery workshops
Jobman covers quote to install for cabinet makers and workshop manufacturers, and it links to Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks and the main cabinet design tools. The floor is A$250 a month, the trial asks for a card, and the pages we read show Australian dollars only.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Starts at A$250 a month for 2 office and 5 kiosk licences. A team of five office users needs Medium at A$650, well above the category's middle. |
| Free plan and trial | D | 14-day trial, and the card is on file though not charged until it ends. |
| Features | B | Quoting, scheduling, inventory, purchase orders, time and profit tracking with an open API. CAD/CAM links, extra locations and the appliance module are add-ons. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and kiosks, licences and design-software links all take setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web with Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks, Dropbox, Cabinet Vision and Mozaik. The pages do not say which systems the apps cover. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Jobman is for
- Fits if you make cabinets or joinery and design in Cabinet Vision or Mozaik
- Works for workshops that put time clocks on the shop floor
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you are outside workshop manufacturing
- Pricey if you are a sole trader and still pay A$250 a month as the starting price
- Watch out: CAD/CAM links, extra users, extra locations and the appliance module cost extra
- Watch out: the US dollar price sat behind a location chooser that did not load for us
Good to know
Good for
- Cabinet makers and joinery workshops running quote-to-install jobs
- Metal fabrication, marine and shopfitting businesses the vendor lists as industries
- Shops that design in a CAD/CAM package and want it linked to job costs
Worth knowing
- The pages read here show Australian-dollar prices only; the US-dollar price sits behind a location chooser that did not load.
- Every price is a starting price tied to a set number of office and kiosk licenses.
- CAD/CAM integrations, extra users, extra locations and the appliance module are paid add-ons.
- The site lists app downloads but the pages read did not say which operating systems they cover.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Jobman you could make: quotes and estimates, job scheduling, inventory, invoicing and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
What you could make
- Quotes and estimates, job scheduling, inventory, invoicing and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- It plugs into other products, Xero, MYOB and QuickBooks Online among them, and has an API.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Jobman’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
