Switching from NextMinute
Looking for a NextMinute alternative?
NextMinute is job management for residential builders and trades, priced by bands of users from three up. Crewzy is priced once for the business, from a sole trader up, with up to 20 active crew a month included. Here is a fair look at both, and how to move.

Moving from NextMinute
- Export your customers, price list and jobs from the old system as CSV files.
- In Crewzy, open Settings, Import, and pick what each file holds. The columns are matched for you, and you can point any field at a different column.
- Bring customers in first, then sites and jobs, so they link up. Unpaid invoices come across as the balance still owed, and are never posted to your books a second time.
- Check the summary. The last import can be undone if something looks wrong.
- Photos, notes and forms usually do not export in bulk, so keep a final PDF of any open job you need them for.
- Bring in your data, in the help centre
