04 Mar Trade’s Best Friend: Discovering Fergus
This is the tale of a veteran tradie named Dan Pollard, his loyal dog Fergus, and how they inspired a tool that transformed our way of managing our trade businesses.
The Birth of an Idea
Dan Pollard was no stranger to the challenges of running a trade business. After battling burnout and the constant stress of juggling multiple tasks, he knew there had to be a better way. So, he embarked on a mission to create a tool that could handle the complexities of a trade business with ease.
A Companion Named Fergus
Throughout his journey as a tradie and entrepreneur, Dan had a faithful companion – his dog Fergus. Dependable, smart, friendly, and always by his side, Fergus was more than just a pet; he was a constant source of support and companionship.
Inspired by the qualities of his four-legged friend, Dan named his software ‘Fergus’. He envisioned it as a reliable partner for tradies and their wives, helping them manage their businesses without the stress.
More Than Just a Tool
Fergus, the software, is designed to handle everything from quoting, scheduling, invoicing, job & cost tracking, reporting, health & safety, and more1. It’s like having an extra pair of hands that never tires and is always ready to help.
But what makes Fergus stand out is its origin. Born out of the real-life experiences of a tradie, it understands the unique challenges we face and offers solutions tailored to our needs.
Embracing Change
Incorporating Fergus into your daily routine will be a transformative experience. It helps streamline operations, reduce stress, and reclaim time for yourself and your family.
But what we hope you will love most about Fergus is that it feels like a friend – a dependable companion that’s with you every step of the way, just like Fergus the dog was for Dan.
