Questions we get asked
Who is Chippie for?
Small trade and field-service businesses: handymen, carpenters,
electricians, plumbers, landscapers, arborists, cleaners and the rest. If your work
means heading to a site to quote a job, schedule it, then track it as it runs,
Chippie is built for you.
My partner won't use an app.
Fair enough. Chippie works on the phone they already carry, iPhone or
Android, the same full app either way. If they can text, they can use it. Still stuck
after a fortnight? Give us a call and we'll set them up.
I haven't got time to learn software.
That's the whole idea. Three things — quote, job, invoice — nothing
else to learn. Start sending quotes right away.
Why is it cheaper than the big names?
No billboards, no sales team, low overheads. The lower price is how we
run the company, not a discount that disappears later. You scale your business. We scale
with more users. Support us to make better job management software available to more tradies.
Where is my data kept?
On our Oracle Cloud server in Sydney. You can download all your
business data instantly, set up regular backups, and permanently delete it from the
server yourself, on demand. Each business runs in its own isolated database schema,
so your records are walled off from every other business on Chippie.
What happens when I hit 20 jobs?
The app keeps working and everything stays readable. To create new jobs
past that, you move to $25/mo for two users. If you don't, nothing is charged automatically.
I'm on Android, not iPhone.
Chippie works the same on both, with the same features and no cut-down version.
