What we buildScheduling and running the work

Scheduling and running the work

The calendar is the business. Everything else is paperwork about the calendar. This is the part that keeps one version of the week, on every phone that needs it.

Who this is for

For a business where the schedule lives in one person's head, a whiteboard, or a group text.

Front office, and the first half of a bigger build

What it looks like now

Three things that keep happening

  • Somebody has to call around to find out where they are supposed to be.
  • A change means five phone calls and one person still shows up at the wrong address.
  • Photos, notes and materials for a job are spread across four camera rolls.

What gets built

Booking into the real calendar

Customers pick from what is genuinely free, not from a wish list.

One schedule, every phone

Everybody sees where to be without a group text.

Reminders both ways

The customer is reminded, and so is whoever is going.

On the way texts

Sent when somebody sets off, not when they remember to.

Day and route planning

The week laid out so the driving makes sense.

Photos and notes on the job

Attached where the job is, not sitting in a camera roll.

What changes

How the week is different

  • Move a job and everybody who needs to know is told.
  • Nobody calls the office to ask where they are going.
  • The week is one thing, not four versions of one thing.

Asked most often

What people ask about scheduling and running the work

Will it work with the calendar we already use?
Usually yes. Connecting what you already pay for is nearly always cheaper than replacing it.
What about the people who will not use an app?
Then it reaches them as a text. A system nobody uses is not a system.
Can customers book themselves?
Yes, and only into times that are genuinely free. That is the whole difference between booking and a request.
