What Yamate is
Yamate is a quoting, invoicing, scheduling, expense, and bookkeeping service for Australian trade businesses. Its AI drafts priced quotes from spoken or typed job descriptions for the user to check and send; accepted quotes can become scheduled jobs, including recurring weekly or monthly work. Invoices can include PayID or bank details, and customers can pay by card through Stripe or Square, PayID, or bank transfer. Payment reminders can be sent by text manually or automatically. Jobs, quotes, invoices, customers, and photos remain available on the device without signal, while texts, AI, live lookups, and cloud sync need a connection. Yamate connects to Xero to push invoices, payments, and customers, and exports GST and end-of-year summaries as CSV. It includes Australian administration tools for GST, PAYG, super, payslips, SWMS, licence and insurance dates, and ABN lookups; users lodge and sign themselves. A free plan is available for one person.
