Questions? Answers. Everything you need to know about TREVY.

Is TREVY built for Australian businesses?

Yes. TREVY is available to Australian businesses only and is designed around the way local tradies, sole traders and service businesses work. It supports Australian business details and GST settings for registered businesses. You remain responsible for your registration details and tax treatment.

Is the 7-day trial really free?

Yes. You get full access to TREVY for 7 days. The trial is handled through the App Store or Google Play, so a payment method on file with your store account is required, but you will not be charged until the trial ends.

What happens after my trial ends?

You can choose to upgrade to keep using TREVY. If you decide not to continue, your account switches to read-only mode.

Can I cancel my subscription anytime?

Yes. There are no lock-in contracts. You can cancel your subscription at any time through your App Store or Google Play subscription settings.

Who is TREVY best suited for?

TREVY is built for Australian solo tradies, sole traders and independent service professionals who need a simple way to manage jobs, quotes, invoices, scheduling, and client communication.

Can I create a job now and schedule it later?

Yes. You can create jobs without booking them straight away, then schedule them later when the timing is confirmed.

Does TREVY support recurring jobs, return visits, and multi-visit jobs?

Yes. You can schedule recurring jobs for repeat work, add return visits to the same job, or split one job across multiple scheduled visits when needed.

Can I schedule both Fixed and Flexible jobs?

Yes. Fixed visits reserve an exact appointment, while Flexible visits store a date and expected duration for route optimisation. Once a time is committed, you can optionally show the customer an arrival window without changing the internal schedule.

Will my clients receive booking confirmations and be able to request a reschedule?

Yes. TREVY can send booking confirmations to clients and let them request a reschedule through the client portal where you allow it, while you stay in control of approving and managing any changes.

Will I know when a client accepts my quote?

Yes. TREVY tracks quote activity and lets you know when a client views, accepts, or rejects a quote so you can follow up quickly.

Can I set quote expiry dates and get notified when clients respond?

Yes. You can set an expiry date on quotes, and TREVY keeps you updated when clients view, accept, reject, or when the quote expires.

Can my clients pay invoices online?

Yes. TREVY supports online invoice payments through Stripe payment links when enabled, and invoice status tracking helps with follow-up.

Is there GPS tracking?

Yes. TREVY includes live GPS tracking so clients can see when you are en route to a job, helping reduce no-shows and create a more professional experience.

Does TREVY include a price book for saved services and line items?

Yes. You can save common services and line items in your price book so creating quotes and invoices is faster and more consistent.

Can I capture expenses and add them to quotes or invoices?

Yes. TREVY helps you capture expenses and use them in your quoting and invoicing workflow, making it easier to record costs and recover billable expenses.

Can I organise work into projects and keep jobs, quotes, and invoices connected?

Yes. TREVY lets you group related work into projects so jobs, quotes, invoices, photos, and client activity stay connected in one place.

Can I attach photos and notes to jobs, quotes, and invoices?

Yes. You can attach photos and notes to your work as you go, making it easier to document site details, completed work, and important context.

Can I share photos with clients through the client portal?

Yes. Clients can view photos attached to individual jobs, quotes, and invoices, and they can also view photos across the overall project through the client portal.

Can I use parts of TREVY independently, without using the full workflow?

Yes. You can use TREVY for jobs, quotes, or invoices on their own depending on how you run your business. You do not have to use the full workflow or send emails automatically, and client links are available whenever you want to share something.
