Thinking about building your own add-on?
ServiceM8 is brilliant - but customising it takes time.
There’s a big difference between using ServiceM8… and building on it.
If you’ve thought about creating your own add-ons or automations, you’re not alone - but:
You don’t have time after hours to build workflows
Zapier, Make, or n8n feel like a full-time job
You’d rather run jobs than mess with APIs
You just want it to work the way your business does
You’d rather leave the tech to someone who gets it
That’s what we do.
TaskLab builds custom tools and automations to extend ServiceM8 — without the DIY.
We’re not just developers — we’re
ServiceM8 users too.
We’ve run our appliance repair business The Ginger Beard Repair Service on ServiceM8 for years - and we’re big believers in what it can do. It’s transformed how we quote, schedule, and complete jobs.
But every business is a little different. That’s why we started TaskLab: to create extra tools for trade businesses who want to get even more from ServiceM8.
Our PreBuilt Apps are the same tools we use every day - battle-tested on real jobs and built to slot right in.
Two ways to fix your workflow: fast or fully custom.
TaskLab works behind the scenes to extend ServiceM8’s power - automating the logic, rules, and fiddly workflows.

Pricing FAQ
What’s the difference between Simple and Pro Functions?
Simple Functions are automations — they run automatically on a schedule or trigger and don’t need staff input. Think daily payment summaries, form inserts, or simple flags.
Pro Functions are like mini-applications — your team interacts with them, they handle more complex tasks like parts ordering or checklists, and often connect to multiple systems.
What’s a slot, and how do I add more?
Each Function uses a slot in your plan. For example, the Basic plan includes up to 3 Simple slots — you can run 3 different Simple Functions at once. Need more? Just add extra slots anytime:
-
Simple slot: $5/mo
-
Pro slot: $29/mo (requires Pro plan)
-
CustomBuild slot: $79/mo (+ one-time build fee, requires Plus plan)
How does a CustomBuild work in the Plus plan?
The Plus plan ($99/mo) includes the running cost for 1 CustomBuild Function — this covers hosting, support, and small tweaks. You’ll still pay a one-time development fee upfront to build your unique automation. If you want more CustomBuild Functions later, just add extra slots for $79/mo each, plus a build fee for each new one.
What if my automation needs a paid API or service?
Some automations might need paid services like an AI API or Amazon Connect. You can bring your own account and API keys, or TaskLab can manage it for you. If we manage it, you’ll pay the usage cost plus a small management fee. We’ll agree limits up front so there are no surprises.

Get StartedCan’t Find What You’re After? Let’s CustomBuild It.
Not every workflow fits into a neat box — that’s why we offer CustomBuilds. If you’ve seen something on this page that’s close but not quite right, we can tweak it to match how you work.
Or if you need something completely unique, we can design and build an automation just for your business — no DIY, no duct tape, and no run limits. Just tell us what needs doing, and we’ll handle the rest.
Not sure if your idea will work? It probably will. Get in touch and we’ll let you know what’s possible (and what’s not worth automating).
Don’t waste time wrestling with workarounds.
