Your next 8 weeks, in hours
Example board with made-up numbers. Switch to "Diary only" to see what the diary alone would tell you.
ServiceM8 is good at jobs with a date and a tech. The weeks that catch you out are decided by three things that aren't in the diary yet.
Jobs waiting on parts, a deposit or the customer's date. You've sold those hours, but the diary can't see them.
Three good quotes say yes in the same fortnight, and a comfortable week is suddenly two days over.
Leave, RDOs, public holidays and apprentices at TAFE quietly shrink the hours you really have.
228 hours on paper. 175 in real life.
So you find out a week is overloaded when customers start ringing, or that it's empty when it arrives.
Move the sliders to your own numbers. An empty day never arrives as a bill, so it's easy to underestimate.
You spend about an hour on it. We do the rest.

Your next 8 weeks: one over, four with room
Morning,
Week 2 is 12 hours over. One tech is on leave. Move one job or plan some overtime.
Weeks 5 to 8 are under 40% full. A good week to chase open quotes.
102 hours of sold work has no date yet. That's 11 jobs, the oldest from 19 days ago.
One setup fee, then one flat monthly fee. Nothing here is an add-on.

The ServiceM8 column is based on ServiceM8's help pages for its new schedule, released in September 2026. SteadyWeeks is an independent service and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by ServiceM8.
Before we hand over, your board has to match your ServiceM8 diary. If we can't get it matching within 30 days of your setup call, we refund your setup fee in full.
After that it's month to month. Cancel any time, and every job stays in your ServiceM8.
The first three businesses get a reduced setup fee and a direct line to me while we shape SteadyWeeks around how trade businesses really work.
In return, I ask for honest feedback and, if you're happy after 60 days, a short review.
I'm Taimoor Akhtar. I build automation systems for service businesses in Australia and the US.
SteadyWeeks exists because good trade businesses get caught out by weeks they can't see coming: quiet patches found too late to fill, and crunch weeks that wear out the crew.
I studied law and was admitted as an advocate before moving into automation, so I take your data and our agreement seriously. You'll deal with me directly, not a call centre.

ServiceM8's schedule shows booked work, with each person's remaining capacity up to two weeks ahead and booked hours across the month.

It works alongside ServiceM8 and doesn't replace it.
