Case Study: Niesar Painting Streamlines Job Scheduling and Team Management with Fergus

Niesar Painting - Customer Case Study

Niesar Painting, a growing Cairns-based painting business led by John Niesar, needed a better way to organise scheduling, job tracking, and admin as the team expanded to around 12 staff and took on more complex commercial and residential work. Before using Fergus, John was relying on guesswork, texted timesheets, and a clunky job management tool that didn’t give him a clear view of workloads or stages of work.

Fergus provided Niesar Painting with a more effective scheduler, quoting and costing tools, status boards, reporting, and team communication features like the Notice Board and Site Visits. With Fergus, John says he can cost jobs more accurately, plan the workload better, avoid overcommitting, and keep jobs on track; he also uses the reporting to monitor profitability and process payroll more efficiently, while spending about 90% of his time on bookwork and 10% on painting.
