Ascora is a cloud-based field service management platform built for trade and service businesses. It targets electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, roofers, painters, builders, locksmiths and fire service companies that have outgrown spreadsheets and basic job tools.
The product covers the full path from enquiry to payment: lead capture, quoting, scheduling, job tracking, inventory, timesheets, invoicing and accounting sync. Office staff and field crews work from the same live data.
The company says Ascora was designed, built and supported from Perth, Western Australia, with a US base in Austin, Texas. Work began in 2010 and the product launched publicly in 2012.
Enquiries enter the pipeline from web forms, Facebook lead ads, phone calls or direct entry, each tagged with a lead source. A quote can be built from a catalogue and converted to a scheduled job in one click, then to an invoice, without re-keying.
Office staff schedule work on a drag-and-drop calendar with colour coding and multiple views. Changes push live to technicians' devices.
In the field, the iOS and Android app lets crews capture photos, signatures, materials, checklists and timesheets. It works offline and syncs when the device reconnects. Invoices, payments, bills and approved timesheets then flow to the connected accounting and payroll system.
Quoting supports variations, pipeline tracking, customisable documents and follow-up reminders. Elite adds multi-stage and section-based quotes for projects. Invoicing includes progress claims and retentions, which matter for construction and staged work.
On the operations side, Ascora offers inventory with reorder levels and supplier catalogue importing, travel logs, job completion checklists and GPS tracking for vehicles and non-powered assets. Custom electronic forms such as SWMS and JSA can be triggered by job type or stage.
Reporting covers job-level profitability, WIP, quote win rate, lead source analysis and time utilisation. Elite also adds equipment servicing with interval-based service jobs and automatic recurring jobs.
