Publish scheduleThe problem
With employees and subcontractors mixed across sites, upcoming projects and tasks go out by WhatsApp, calls and texts. Crews miss the message, don’t turn up, and someone scrambles to cover with subbies or loan labour.
Notices about upcoming projects and planned visits get lost in the chat.
A missed message means an empty spot that has to be covered at short notice.
Without one schedule, people get booked twice and work gets redone.
Poorly used crews waste time and money, cut productivity and push jobs over budget.
On site
Without a crew schedule, nobody’s sure who should be there, for how long, or on which task.
How it feels
You worry whether the crew will turn up, whether the project will go as planned, and whether it’ll finish on time and on budget.
It’s just wrong
Owners shouldn’t have to ring every worker each day to tell them where to go and what to do. That time should go into winning the next project and growing the business.

Every call, text and reshuffle to tell crews where to go takes time. Move the sliders to see what it adds up to across your crew.
