Fergus is job-management software for trade businesses, built in New Zealand and used widely across Australia and New Zealand for quoting, scheduling, job tracking and invoicing. CRMandGo is a CRM that sits in front of that work: it answers the enquiry, scores it, chases the follow-up and collects the documents.
| CRMandGo | Fergus | |
|---|---|---|
| What it owns | The pipeline: enquiry, qualification, follow-up, documents | The job: quote, schedule, cost, invoice |
| Missed enquiry out of hours | AI receptionist answers chat and SMS; a missed call texts the caller back | Not its purpose |
| Job costing and invoicing | Not a job-costing or invoicing tool | Purpose-built |
| Built for your industry | AI composes pipeline, intake and document checklists for your trade | Built for trades, configured by you |
| Data residency | All data onshore in Sydney, Australian Privacy Principles | New Zealand company; check current data location |
| Can you run both | Yes: CRMandGo wins the job, Fergus runs it | Yes |
If your difficulty is the enquiry that arrived while you were on a roof, CRMandGo answers it: an AI receptionist over chat and SMS, a missed call that texts the caller back, scored and briefed leads, and a branded portal where the customer fills in their own details. Your client data is also stored onshore in Sydney under the Australian Privacy Principles.
If your difficulty is running the work, Fergus is purpose-built for it and CRMandGo is not. Job costing, scheduling, timesheets and invoicing for a trades business are its core, and we do none of those.
CRMandGo is Australian-owned and part of the MyAndGo ecosystem. Your data is stored onshore in Sydney, under the Australian Privacy Principles. Start free, no card needed.
They cover different halves. Fergus runs the job once you have won it; CRMandGo wins it. If your quoting and job costing already work, keep Fergus and put a CRM in front of it rather than replacing it.
No. CRMandGo does quotes and acceptance, then hands the won work to whatever you use to run it. Job costing, scheduling and invoicing are Fergus's job and we do not claim them.
