A shift with the minimum already in the number.

Hours, head count and start time chosen on your page, with the floor applied before anyone agrees to anything. Nobody buys ninety minutes of a crew and a ute at ninety minutes' money.

Yes on Thursday night is a roster answer.

Attach each service only to the people who hold the ticket for it, and who is on, who is off and who came off a night shift is one screen rather than three phone calls.

One controller, a stop/slow pair, or the full closure.

The three ways a builder can be covered on the same bit of road, priced side by side so they pick the one they can afford.

  • Priced by the hour and the head count

    Controllers, hours and the gear are separate lines, so when the contractor queries the number you can show which part it came from.

  • A minimum nobody has to argue about

    Set the floor on the service and a short job prices at the floor. The call-out fee conversation never has to happen.

  • Sent before you leave the site

    The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked at the compound, which is usually before anyone else has rung back.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    Arrow board, extra signage, a second ute, another controller for the pour. Each one moves the quoted total when the contractor ticks it, so nothing has to be re-typed and no figure gets walked back.

A night road works contract, itemised and ready to send.

A crew of four moved in one drag.

The site changes the night before more often than it does not. Drag the shift and the whole crew goes with it, on any plan.

  • The assignment travels with the shift

    Move the booking and the four names move too, so nobody turns up at yesterday’s compound at half five in the morning.

  • The contractor is told, not asked

    Switch the reschedule notice on and the change is emailed when you make it. It stays off until you do, because not every shuffle is worth a message.

  • Nights sit on the board properly

    A shift that starts at ten and ends at five is one block, not two halves either side of midnight.

Three crew members on one timeline, each with their jobs laid out across the working day so gaps are easy to spot.

Main let go on the corner in Surry Hills. Need two on the boards from now until the diggers are out. Anyone left?

Every controller is out and the phone goes.

Traffic control runs out of people long before it runs out of hours. When there is nobody left, the page says so and takes the job as a request anyway.

Requested, confirmed, on site, invoiced.

A shift is not done when the cones come in. Every one of them sits at a stage you can see, so the ones waiting on a purchase order are not the ones you find out about at the end of the month.

Built for your trade

Built for the shifts you actually crew

Stop/slow on an open trench

A water authority has a main exposed for two days. Day shift, defined hours, plan already drawn, two controllers on the bats.

Night resurfacing on an arterial

Ten at night to five in the morning under a lane closure. A different rate, a different crew and a different set of people willing to do it.

A street festival closure for council

The closure is the whole job. Barriers out at six, roads back at eleven, and the client is a council rather than a builder.

A burst main at eleven on a Sunday

Unplanned, urgent and priced accordingly. The minimum charge is what stops a three-hour callout being sold as three hours.

A crane lift on a suburban build

One lane closed for half a day while the trusses go over the roof. Short, tightly timed, and always booked at short notice.

Power pole replacement with the network crew

You crew a shift somebody else is running. Their hours, your controllers, your rate, and their job number on the record.

A concrete pour across the footpath

Two hours of pedestrian and driveway control for a builder. The minimum applies, and the builder sees that when they book.

Car park resurfacing after hours

A shopping centre wants the work done between closing and opening. Overnight, on private land, and still a proper shift.

A shutdown that needs eight people

A plant shutdown wanting a crew for a week straight. One booking a day, the same names, and one invoice at the end.

Pro

Paid for the shift, however they pay.

Most of this trade is invoiced to a contractor and paid by transfer. Record that by hand for nothing, or take cards on Pro.

  • Cash and transfer are free

    Mark the shift paid when the transfer lands. That costs nothing on any plan and always will.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A council or an event company that wants to pay on a card gets a link, and the money is yours.

  • Split it across a long job

    Ask for part of a week-long shutdown up front and the rest at the end. Staged requests come with Pro, after the booking exists.

How far the ute goes for a shift.

Past a certain distance the travel eats the shift. Set what each depot covers and the page stops taking work outside it.

  • Draw the patch around the depot

    Addresses outside it are told straight away rather than after somebody has already put a crew on the roster.

  • Two depots, two patches

    If you crew out of two yards, each keeps its own area and the shift falls to the yard that can actually cover it.

  • Same rate everywhere inside it

    Inside your area the rate is the rate. Bookables never quietly adds anything for a longer run up the highway.

One contractor, forty shifts a year.

Most of this trade is a handful of civil and utility clients booking again and again. What you crewed, what you charged and what is still unpaid sits on their card instead of in last year's diary.

  • Their sites and their rates in one place

    The agreed hourly rate, the job numbers and the compound they use are on the account, so a new booking starts from what you agreed.

  • Who you sent, and when

    Every shift you have crewed for them, with the names on it, so a query about a Tuesday in March takes a minute rather than an evening.

  • The callout history beside it

    Emergencies, planned works and the shifts they cancelled all sit on the same record, which is the argument at contract renewal.

One app for the whole job

Everything you need to run your traffic management business.

Scheduling

Day shifts, night closures and the run between them sit on one board, so you can see which sites are short of crew on Tuesday night.

Bookings

One record per shift: the site, the plan reference, the hours, the head count and who was actually on the bats when it ran.

Online booking

Civil contractors pick a shift date and a start time from your page. The awkward closures still arrive as a request for you to price.

Inbox

Site changes, plan revisions and the contractor wanting two more controllers on Thursday land in one place, not across four phones.

Estimates

Quote the way the job is priced: controllers by the hour, the ute and signage, the after-hours loading, each on its own line.

Customers

Civil contractors book you forty times a year. Their sites, their agreed rates and every shift you have crewed for them on one card.

Territories

Set the depots you crew out of and what each one covers, so a job three hours up the highway cannot quietly book itself in.

Team

Add every controller, attach each service to the ones who hold the ticket, and give the office the shift list without the money screens.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer you record by hand are free on any plan. Card payments come with Pro, and the money lands in your account.

Common questions.

Yes. Attach each service only to the team members who hold that ticket, and neither your booking page nor the assignment list will offer anybody else for the work.

No, and it is worth being straight about it. There is no ticket register and no expiry alerting. What you get is control over who can be offered for which service, so the register you keep elsewhere is actually enforced when work is assigned.

You can. Put a minimum charge on the service and short jobs price at that figure, visible to the contractor before they commit rather than argued about on the invoice.

Run them as separate services with their own hours, their own rates and their own crews. Someone booking a night closure sees night availability and a night rate, and your people are only offered the shifts they actually work.

Yes. Drag the shift on the calendar or the team view and every assignment on it moves too. Switch the reschedule notice on and the client is emailed the change, so the site knows before anyone arrives somewhere else. It is off until you turn it on.

The plan reference, the permit number and the access arrangements sit on the booking with the site, so whoever is leading the shift opens the job with the same information you had when you priced it.
