About Werkr

Service management, sorted.

Werkr is a simple, affordable platform for South African service businesses and consultants. Electricians, plumbers and cleaners on the road. Designers, accountants and bookkeepers at their desks. Personal trainers, therapists and coaches running back-to-back sessions. The work looks different, but the day-to-day is the same: quote the client, schedule the job, do the work, get paid. Werkr gives you everything you need to build quotes, take bookings, assign jobs to your team, track stock or hours, keep customers informed and reconcile your books.

Big service firms pay millions for software that ties it all together — quotes, jobs, scheduling, staff, stock, customers and books, all in one system that actually talks to itself. And they pay again for the booking site and customer portal out front. Werkr is both: a beautiful, mobile-first public site and customer portal, with the whole back office behind it. Werkr is all the software you should need. Your whole operation in a box — at a fixed monthly price, no matter how big your team grows.

Who Werkr is for

Pick the shape that fits — Werkr turns features on or off so the app stays out of your way.

Trades & field service

Plumber, electrician, cleaner — staff visit a site, use stock.

Solo consultants

You sell expertise. No staff, no stock, no site visits — just quotes and work.

Studios & agencies

Small team, project-based work, no physical inventory.

Repair shops

Customers drop off devices. Staff and parts, no site visits.

Session-based services

Personal trainer, therapist, coach — recurring 1:1 customer relationships on a calendar.

And everything in between

These presets are just starting points — every feature can be toggled on or off, so Werkr fits whatever shape your work actually takes.

What's in the box

Quotes

Build quotes with line items, send them by email with a magic link. The customer reviews and accepts in one click — the job is created for you automatically.

Jobs

Create jobs, assign them to staff, track status from pending through to completed. Add notes, log stock used, and keep a full history.

Tasks & to-do lists

Break jobs into tasks on a drag-and-drop board, or keep a personal to-do list of everything that needs your attention across all your orgs.

Chat

Per-job chat rooms keep your team's discussion in one place — no more lost WhatsApp threads. Loop the customer in when you need to; keep them out when you don't.

Sessions & calendar

For session-based businesses: a proper calendar, recurring slots, and a customer booking portal that handles the back-and-forth for you.

Team Team

Add staff to your org, assign roles and rates, and see who's working on what. Everyone gets their own login — no more shared passwords.

Stock

Keep track of materials and parts. Log what gets used on each job so you always know what's in stock and what needs reordering.

Service catalogue

Define the services you offer with pricing and duration — a callout, a consultation, or a billable hour. Quote and bill consistently.

Customer portal

Customers get a passwordless login by email to view their quotes, book sessions and see their history. No app to install, no password to forget.

Public site & custom domain

Every org gets a public site for services, contact and pages you write yourself. Point your own domain at it when you're ready.

Books

Built-in bookkeeping: revenue, expenses, outstanding invoices and a SARS-shaped VAT201 view. Reconcile your bank statement in a few clicks.

Mobile first

Built for the field. Werkr works beautifully on phones and tablets — your team can update jobs on site, not back at the office.

Built local

Werkr is made in South Africa, for South African service businesses. Pricing in Rands. Support that actually responds.
