Overview
Software Co partnered with 1st Energy Rebates to design, develop, and launch RebateM8 — a comprehensive mobile and web solution that simplifies and automates the rebate claim process for electrical contractors. In just six months, the platform has reshaped how rebates are managed across the Australian energy industry, ensuring compliance and maximising efficiency at every step.
The Challenge
Electrical contractors were leaving money on the table. The rebate claim process was manual, fragmented, and easy to get wrong — jobs went unrecorded, qualifying installations slipped through unclaimed, and staying compliant was a constant headache. The industry needed a single tool to capture jobs on-site, confirm rebate eligibility instantly, and manage the entire claim lifecycle without friction.
The Solution
RebateM8 puts the whole rebate workflow in the contractor’s pocket. Installers log jobs in seconds — snapping photos as on-site evidence — while the app instantly checks each job against available rebate programs, so nothing qualifying is ever missed. A built-in rewards system turns every qualifying job into points that can be redeemed for exclusive bonuses, while real-time notifications keep contractors ahead of new rebate programs as they launch. Scheduling, job tracking, and earnings all live in one place, backed by advanced security that keeps contractor data safe.
The result is a platform that helps professionals increase revenue, streamline their workflow, and never miss an opportunity to boost their profits — all from a single tap.
