Scheduling & dispatch

The schedule moves when the job does.

Phases come off the estimate you already wrote. When a change order lands or a sub-trade slips, everything downstream moves with it — and the crew sees it on their phones.

A whiteboard that is wrong by Tuesday

And a group chat trying to keep up
The problem: The schedule lives on a whiteboard, in your head, and in a group chat. One sub-trade slips a day and all three disagree — so somebody drives to the wrong site, or nobody shows up at all.

The real cost is not the missed day. It is that a schedule nobody trusts stops being consulted, and then everything runs on phone calls.

  • Change orders add work but rarely add days on the plan
  • A crew that cannot see tomorrow asks you every afternoon
  • Two jobs at once doubles the coordination, not the work

How it stays true

Nobody maintains it. It is a view of the job.

A schedule you have to update separately is a schedule that goes stale. This one is the same phases you priced.

From the estimate

Phases become the plan

Demo, rough-in, drywall, tile, finish — the phases you priced are the phases you schedule. Nothing is typed twice.

Dispatch

Crew see their week

Who is where, on what, on their phone. They stop asking each afternoon, and they clock in against the job they were sent to.

When it moves

Everything after moves too

Add a change order or push a sub a day and the rest shifts. The client portal updates at the same time, so the homeowner is not told a date that is no longer true.

Across jobs

Two sites, one week

See both jobs together. A crew double-booked is visible before Monday rather than at 7am on Monday.

One change, five places

Move a day, and the day moves everywhere.

Estimate phasesScheduleCrew dispatchClock-inClient portal

A standalone scheduling app knows nothing about your estimate, your crew hours or what the client was told. This one is the same job seen from a different angle, which is why it is still right in week six.

What it changes on Monday

  • The afternoon phone calls stop. The crew can see tomorrow.
  • A slip is handled once instead of retold three times.
  • The homeowner is never told a stale date, because the portal moves with the plan.
  • Double-bookings show up on Friday, not on Monday morning.
