If you want a Fergus alternative that’s built in Australia and adds AI on top of job management, Looplet is built on the Gold Coast and bundles AI quoting, voice control, Android Auto and a customer portal alongside the workflow basics.
Why trades look past Fergus
- Built in New Zealand, not Australia.
- Strong visual workflow, but no built-in AI quoting or Android Auto.
- Priced per user — you usually weigh seat costs rather than a published weekly AUD plan.

Australian-built, for Australian rules
Looplet is built around the way Australian trades operate — AUD pricing inclusive of GST and workflows shaped around AU requirements like QBCC, the ATO and BYDA. Fergus is built in New Zealand for several markets. Both operate in Australia; Looplet is built for it.
More capability with AI built in
Fergus is known for its visual job workflow, but it doesn’t include AI quote drafting or Android Auto. Looplet matches the job-management basics and adds AI quote drafting, a customer portal where clients approve quotes themselves, voice notes and Android Auto — so the tool grows from sole trader to multi-trade crew without switching apps. See the operations page.
