This is Aime from the inside, using a made-up Canterbury sparky's month so you can see the shape of it. Every figure below is invented. Nothing here asks you for anything.
You get your own Aime address. Snap the receipt in the merchant's car park, send it, throw the paper in the glovebox. That is the entire job.
Supplier, date, what was on it, the GST, the lot. It works out which job it belongs to from what you bought and where you have been buying.
Not at 9pm on the 28th with a shoebox. Every job adds up its own costs as the receipts come in, and the whole lot downloads for your accountant in one click.
Everything that has come in, newest first, each one already put against a job.

The honest bit. When a docket is creased, or the print has gone, or it genuinely cannot tell which job a load of timber was for, it asks you rather than guessing. Most weeks this page is empty.
Mitre 10 MEGA, 9 Aug, $1,240.00 — could be Selwyn new build or Hadfield kitchen. Both had timber on this week. Which one?
Photo from 3 Aug — the bottom third of the docket is out of focus and the total cannot be read. Send another photo, or type the total in.
The one that matters. What you said the job would come to, what it has actually cost you, and what is left — job by job, without you adding anything up.
| Job | Hours | Estimate | Spent | Left over | An hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selwyn new build | 18 | $3,400.00 | $1,486.20 | $1,913.80 | $106.32 |
| Hadfield kitchen | 6 | $980.00 | $612.40 | $367.60 | $61.27 |
| Ngatai Rd switchboard | 4 | $640.00 | $742.60 | −$102.60 | — |
The third one went backwards. You would rather find that out now than at the end of the year, and nobody adds it up for you today.
Aime is nearly ready, and we want ten trades businesses using it properly before it opens to everyone. The ten are not getting a special deal — the first month is free for every customer, whenever they join. Free for 30 days, and we do not ask for a card to start. We will tell you the monthly price, in writing, well before the free period ends — and if you do not want it, you do nothing and it stops.
There is nothing to sign up for today. If an email brought you here, just reply to it and say whether this is something you would use — and if it is not, say why not. That is genuinely more useful to us than a yes. If you found this on your own, write to support@aime.nz and say the same thing.
