Gojee wins Global Small Business App of the Year in the Xero Global App Awards 2026
Sydney, NSW — 21 August 2026 — Gojee, an Australian software company serving small businesses across four continents, today announced it has won Global Small Business App of the Year in the Xero Global App Awards 2026, recognising its excellence and innovation within the Xero app ecosystem.
The global award is the top tier of Xero’s awards program, open only to apps available across all three of Xero’s core regions — Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Gojee was chosen from an ecosystem of more than 1,000 apps on the Xero App Store, ahead of a finalist field made up of three of the largest and longest-established names in the ecosystem: A2X, ApprovalMax and ServiceM8. Gojee is the first company from regional NSW to win one of the global awards in the program’s history.
The award recognises the app delivering the clearest and most tangible benefits to small businesses — in Gojee’s case, giving product- and project-based small businesses real-time visibility of job profitability, quoting, inventory, staff and operations, all connected directly to their Xero accounts.
The Xero Global App Awards recognise outstanding technology partners who provide significant value to small businesses and accounting practices globally. Xero is the ASX-listed accounting platform used by more than 4.9 million subscribers worldwide.
Quote from Jack Ducat, Co-Founder and CEO of Gojee:
“To be judged the best small-business app in the world, in an ecosystem of more than a thousand apps on the Xero App Store, still doesn’t feel real. We won this by staying obsessed with one problem: profit blindness. We show businesses whether every job is making money as the work happens, not weeks after it’s finished — and this award says that matters to small businesses everywhere.
“Gojee was born on the tools — built in Armidale, NSW, inside an earthmoving and concrete business by the people who ran it. Eight years later, those same workflows have just been named the best in the world, and they run every day for customers across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, South Africa and the US. The Xero App Store gave a company from regional Australia a global stage — and Xero genuinely backs its app partners. This win belongs to the customers who trusted us early and built the product with us, and to the Gojee team, who I could not be prouder of.”
What Gojee does
Gojee is a Xero App Partner, listed on the Xero App Store, and connects to Xero to run the operational side of a business — quoting, job management, job costing, inventory, purchasing, timesheets and workflow automation — so the numbers in the accounts always reflect what’s happening on the workshop floor or job site. It gives growing businesses ERP-grade capability without the ERP price tag. In one published Xero case study, a Gojee customer recovered $165,000 in margin after gaining live visibility of job profitability; in another Gojee case study, a civil construction contractor cut administration time by around 50%.
