Why Connect Fergus to KeyPay?

Fergus limitations compound the integration challenge: integration ecosystem is limited primarily to accounting software (Xero, MYOB, QuickBooks) with fewer connections to other business tools

No single source of truth when jobs live in two disconnected tools, so staff second-guess which system has the correct information

Job scheduling in Fergus and invoicing in KeyPay are disconnected, delaying payments for completed work

Guest booking data in Fergus and operations scheduling in KeyPay require manual coordination

Manually copying data between Fergus and KeyPay wastes hours every week that could be spent on revenue-generating work

Site crews rely on Fergus while the office uses KeyPay, so neither team sees the full picture until end of day

KeyPay adds complexity: reporting is adequate for standard payroll needs but requires exports for custom workforce analytics or cross-referencing with other systems

How We Help

Connecting Fergus (industry tools) with KeyPay (accounting & finance) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Trades & Construction and Hospitality & Tourism businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of jobs and quotes data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Fergus uses a REST API with API key authentication, and KeyPay authenticates via API key, which our team handles as part of the build.

Amplify Fergus Strengths

Fergus excels because real-time job costing shows profit margins as work progresses, with labour, materials, and subcontractor costs tracked against quoted amounts. Connecting it to KeyPay ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Fergus and KeyPay in sync, even as your business doubles.

Eliminate Manual Data Entry

Stop copying data between Fergus and KeyPay by hand. Our integration syncs data automatically, saving your team 8+ hours/week.

From Job Site to Invoice, Automatically

When a job is completed in Fergus, invoicing data flows to KeyPay without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Tradies get paid faster, admin gets their weekends back.
