FROM NZCB —
Putting our partners in the spotlight New Zealand Certified Builders (NZCB) is proud to partner with a wide range of companies with multiple branches nationwide. These companies have aligned with the Association to provide significant support to our members and have the option to engage with them across a wide range of opportunities. Known to the Association as “National Partners” we are delighted to tell you a little bit more about two of them.
Introducing Anna Brooks from FreeUp…
Introducing GTEE… GTEE puts all the required product, warranty and maintenance information on each home into a cloud based folder for your clients to access 24/7.
Helping you take control of your business with tech
10 minutes input from you provides 10 years of support for your homeowner.
FREE UP makes it easy for builders to get better control of their businesses with tech. We set you up with the right app, train your team, and get it working smoothly with your business processes. If you’re already using tech, FREE UP can help with any issues and show you how to maximise the benefits.
The general idea Builders select the products used in each build from simple drop down menus. Additional information such as plans, specifications and warranty documents can also be uploaded. GTEE reminds owners of all maintenance that is due.
The trusted and proven tech advisor for builders Since 2017, FREE UP has helped over 30 building companies across NZ. As a result, they’ve seen improvements in efficiency, increased profitability on jobs, and enjoyed more control.
What does it cost? There are no subscriptions or fixed costs. Builders pay $190 (exc gst) per build. This means the total cost of GTEE can be included as a direct cost of each build.
Marcus Smith of Marcus Smith Builders is delighted with the outcome: “Anna listened to how our business operated and where we needed help. I’ve only been using the system for a couple of months and can already see how it will improve back costing and make invoicing a lot clearer for myself and my clients.”
One stop shop Maintenance, warranty details and documentation related to products used in each house build are held in one cloud based folder. Clients have a unique login and password to their folder.
The independent expert in 10 apps FREE UP is an expert in the most popular apps for builders and trades: Tradify, Fergus, NextMinute, ServiceM8, Buildxact, Builda Price, Rave Build, CoConstruct, Buildertrend & Simpro. This means they can set you up with the best app for your business - or help you get more from a system you’re using. Want to benefit from tech in your business? FREE UP will select, set up and train you with the tech that will benefit your business most. This will save you time because you don’t have to do the research; it can also save you money because you avoid the disruption of picking the wrong system. Or want to get more from tech you’re using? FREE UP offers support and training to ensure you’re getting the most from your investment in tech, or advice if you’re looking to change to a system to better support the direction of your business.
Friendly Reminders When scheduled maintenance is due homeowners are emailed a reminder. This information also appears on the owner’s Gtee dashboard as ‘maintenance required’. Sign up for a trial – https://gteeco.com/signmeup/
