The problem
Wear and tear and safety issues affect your customer experience. Keeping on top of compliance, preventative maintenance, and fixing urgent breakdowns can be a major hassle without the right tools.
Chasing unresponsive tradespeople, no way to judge quality or licensing, and no idea what a fair quote looks like. Reliable trades are genuinely hard to find in Australia and New Zealand.
Every day is busy, so it can be hard to stay on top of things. Day to day maintenance issues are a distraction from your customers. Breakdowns and emergency works are a costly nightmare. Missing compliance requirements and easy preventive maintenance can be an expensive mistake.
If you are a large chain, your central team is often stretched. Dedicated facilities teams are expensive and smaller stores don't have the luxury of help, with everything falling onto owners or frontline managers. Expertise and sound advice can be hard to find.

Pricing
Everything in this portal is useful — that's why we make it all available under one simple subscription, which is cheaper the more stores you add. You can add and remove stores as you like, and through your monthly subscription have access to expertise over the phone and help with specific jobs, if you need it, for additional charges. All prices in AUD, excluding GST.
Set your stores up before 31 August 2026 and your per-store rate never moves again. Standard pricing is A$78 / A$58 / A$38 per store.
Example — 3 stores: A$97 + A$9.70 GST = A$106.70/month. Struck-through figures are the standard rate after the offer closes on 31 August 2026.

FAQ
It's a recommended directory of maintenance trades across Australia and New Zealand, organised into 32 specialties. You filter by trade and location, see licensing, insurance and ratings, and contact the trade directly — RMA isn't a marketplace and takes no cut of the work. The full database is included with your subscription.
Every listed trade is checked against consistent standards for licensing, insurance and work quality, using the vetting process refined across more than 9,000 jobs a year in retail and hospitality. Each listing shows its vetting status. Vetting is ongoing — the network is reviewed continuously, not sourced once.

Add or remove stores from the Home screen and the bill updates automatically. Storage is pooled at 10 GB per store.
