The Fergus alternative
built for UK trades.
Fergus is a capable job and workflow tool, but it grew up in New Zealand, so UK compliance and UK accounting integrations are not its home turf. Complete Tool is built from the ground up for UK trade businesses, with the certificates, CIS handling, Xero/QuickBooks/Sage sync and offline tools your team actually needs.

What is actually in Complete Tool
Rather than describe Fergus's product from the outside, here is exactly what ships in Complete Tool today, with the real figures.
| Capability | In Complete Tool | What that means on the job |
|---|---|---|
| Trade certificates & forms | 913 trade documents | Gas Safe records, EICRs, minor works, FENSA, RAMS — completed on site, signed, PDF issued before you leave. |
| UK trades with a ready-made pack | 58 trades | Your trade's own forms, quote templates and job templates switched on from day one, not a form builder to configure. |
| Priced quote templates | 218 templates | Start from a real list of line items for the job in front of you rather than an empty quote. |
| UK finance | CIS deductions, VAT on invoices | Construction Industry Scheme deductions and VAT handled on your quotes and invoices — the figures then go to Xero, QuickBooks or Sage, which is what actually files with HMRC. |
| Free trial | 7 days, no card | Or 60 days if you add a card at signup. |
Painless, on purpose.
Export a CSV of your customers, jobs, quotes and invoices from Fergus and bring it into Complete Tool — matched rather than duplicated, with your invoice sequence continuing rather than restarting. Photos and attachments do not come across; old ones stay where they are, new ones live here.

Complete Tool vs Fergus
Is Complete Tool a good Fergus alternative?
Complete Tool covers the core job tracking, quoting and invoicing you would expect, then adds UK-specific compliance packs for 58 trades, CIS handling on invoices, an offline-first mobile app and automations — areas where a general job tracker tends to do less.
Can I import my data from Fergus?
Yes. Export a CSV of your customers, jobs, quotes and invoices from Fergus and Complete Tool imports it — matching customers rather than duplicating them, and continuing your invoice numbering. See exactly what travels and what does not on the switching page.
Does Complete Tool work for my trade?
Almost certainly. Complete Tool ships compliance trade packs for 58 trades — electricians, plumbers, gas and heating engineers, roofers, tree surgeons and more — each with the right certificates, forms and job templates built in.
Do I need a card to try Complete Tool?
No. You get a full 7-day trial with no card required, on web and Android (iOS to follow). Adding a card instead extends that to 60 days.
