“While you're under there” — captured before you've crawled back out.
Extra fittings, bonus drainage, the second toilet flange you didn't quote for, iso valves that have to come out because they're seized. Tydra captures the variation by voice on site — and turns it into a billable line item ready for Xero or a customer-facing PDF.
Works with or without Xero. Made in New Zealand.
The variations a plumber actually captures.
Tradies don’t dictate like accountants. Here’s how Tydra handles the way you’d actually describe these on site.
Yeah so on the Henderson job, while I was under the sink I noticed the iso valve was rooted so I swapped it, customer was fine with it, about twenty minutes and one of those Methven jobs from the van.
Customer asked me to look at the laundry tap while I was there. Dripping pretty bad. Swapped the cartridge, fifteen minutes, parts about twelve bucks.
Had to do a second toilet flange in the ensuite, wasn't quoted, hour and a half plus a flange and wax ring.
Added a second floor waste in the laundry — builder asked, two hours and three metres of waste pipe plus the gully trap.
Why Tydra fits plumbers.
Crawl spaces, under-sink cupboards, roof tanks.
Half your job happens in places where pulling out a phone to type is a recipe for dropping it. Voice capture works exactly where you actually are.
“While you're under there…”
Customers see you on your back and remember three other things. You can't quote them on the spot, so you say “sure” and forget. Tydra catches the “sure” the moment you say it.
Seized valves, dud cartridges, things that have to come out.
Existing fittings that fail mid-job aren't in the quote — but the customer agreed verbally. Tydra records who agreed, when, and the cost — the bookkeeping proof you need at invoice time.
Three taps. One variation. No paper.
