Built by a tradie who got tired of guessing.
Kepuro started in Tauranga, in a one-van business that did thousands of jobs for people it knew nothing about. Most paid. Some didn't. The ones who always paid on time got exactly the same service as everyone else, which never seemed right.
Kepuro Limited
What we believe
Good customers should be able to prove it
Paying on time is worth something. Kepuro lets customers turn it into faster quotes, no deposit, and a record that follows them to the next house.
Nobody should be able to give anyone a bad mark
Reviews and blacklists create fights. Counting only the good jobs creates nothing to fight about, and it still tells you what you need to know.
The basics should be free
Checking who you're working for shouldn't cost a one-person business a subscription. Advertising pays for Kepuro, so the tools don't have to.
Email, not texts
Nobody wants another app texting them. Kepuro emails, and every kind of email can be switched off.

The name
Kepuro is a made-up word chosen because it was short, free in every domain we wanted, and didn't mean anything awkward in any language we could check. It has come to mean “keep it straight” to us: straight with your customers, straight with your subbies, straight with the paperwork.
Free for every tradie and every customer.
