Smarter Technology to Scale Your Business
“I will always recommend Fortix and their friendly team to anyone who is seeking better systems for their organisation,” – Future Engineering
You Have More Work Than You Can Handle but Profits are Marginal
Most manufacturing and trade businesses are flat out busy, but the time involved in running your business is holding you back from making a decent profit.
As your business grows, you might notice:
- You’re working longer hours, but cash flow isn’t improving
- Every job feels urgent, leaving no time to step back and plan
- Quoting, scheduling, invoicing, and follow-ups consume your evenings
- Small mistakes and rework creep in as pressure increases
- You rely heavily on a few key people — often yourself — to keep things moving
- Hiring more staff adds complexity and cost, without lifting margins
- You’re constantly “in the business” instead of working on it
The result of a growing business? One that looks successful from the outside, but feels exhausting on the inside.
Growing Businesses Don’t Need More Tools — They Need Connected Workflows
Fortix helps businesses design and run structured workflows that improve visibility, reduce manual work, and support consistent, high-quality client delivery as you grow.

The Job Isn’t Done Until the Work Gets Paid
For manufacturers and tradies, the job isn’t finished when the work is completed — it’s finished when it’s delivered correctly, invoiced accurately, and paid on time.
Fortix treats quoting, job delivery, invoicing, and debtors as one connected workflow, not separate admin problems that get chased after hours.
We help manufacturing and trade businesses replace fragmented systems and reactive processes with structured, connected workflows that support owners, teams, and customers as the business scales.
We focus on three main outcomes:
Clear Visibility Across the Business
Know what’s quoted, what’s in progress, what’s completed, what’s invoiced, and what’s overdue, across jobs, variations, purchasing, and debtors. See where pressure is building before it becomes a problem.
Reduced Manual Effort
Automate job handovers, task creation, reminders, approvals, invoicing triggers, and follow-ups so your team can focus on producing and delivering work — not managing admin.
Consistent Client Experience
Deliver a reliable, professional experience from quote to completion to payment, regardless of who in the team is involved. Clients get clear communication, accurate billing, and predictable delivery, providing them with a premium service.
