FAQ

Questions trades ask us.

How it works

Do I need to visit the site to quote?

No. MAPI measures the property from high-resolution aerial imagery, so your customer gets a quote without you leaving the yard. You still confirm the measurements on site before work starts, which is why your customer books an onsite inspection.

How does MAPI measure the roof?

It finds the property, pulls building data and high-resolution aerial imagery, then outlines the house and calculates the number your trade prices on: roof surface area, ceiling space, roof volume or gutter length.

Which trades are supported?

MAPI is built for Australian roofing, insulation, painting, guttering and roof vacuuming businesses.

Does MAPI replace ServiceM8 or Xero?

No. MAPI finds and closes the jobs, then hands them straight over to ServiceM8, Xero, Mailchimp and the other tools you already use.

Accuracy and inspections

Will it price correctly?

MAPI prices every quote with your rates and pricing rules, set in your admin panel. If the roof outline isn’t quite right, your customer can adjust it, and your team confirms the measurements on site before work starts.

What happens with jobs that need a closer look?

If the customer adjusts the roof outline, says it isn’t their house or flags difficult access, it shows on the estimate, and your team confirms the details at the onsite inspection.

What stops spam and fake enquiries?

MAPI verifies the customer’s phone and email before any pricing is released, so every quote in your pipeline belongs to a real person.

Setup and control

Who sets the prices?

You do. Set your rates and rules once in your admin panel, and MAPI applies them to every quote it sends in your name.

Can I control products, surcharges and service areas?

Yes. Your products, options, surcharges and the areas you service are all set in your admin panel, and every quote follows them.

Will it look like my business?

Yes. Your logo, colours and details are set in your admin panel, and the quote tool goes straight onto your own website and social media.

How much setup is involved?

Your branding, rates and options are all set in the admin panel. We give you step-by-step instructions, and we’re here to help whenever you need us.

Teams and growth

Can MAPI handle multiple locations or brands?

Yes, on Enterprise. We prepare a custom quote based on your locations, brands and the systems you want connected, and you can start with a pilot of one service or location.

How does it connect to our systems?

MAPI works with ServiceM8, Xero, Mailchimp, Calendly, Google and more. Enterprise adds custom integrations for the systems your teams already use.

Plans and billing

Which plan is right for me?

Starter suits owner-operators: one tradesperson, plus a couple of office support staff. Growth suits growing teams running several crews. Enterprise is for businesses with multiple locations or brands, with a custom quote.

What are AI credits?

Every quote uses a little mapping and AI. Your plan includes a monthly allowance of AI credits that covers all of it, so there are no surprise bills.

How does introductory pricing work?

Starter is $49 a month and Growth is $89 a month for your first 3 monthly payments. From your fourth month, Starter is $199 a month and Growth is $399 a month. All prices are in AUD and include GST.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time, from the Manage billing link at the bottom of every page. Your plan stays active until the end of the month you have paid for, and you won’t be charged again.
