Crew scheduling

Every closure and every crew on one week

Day works, night closures and the Sunday callout on one board, so a site that is a body short is not a surprise at six.

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 body, a stop/go pair, or the full closure.

Three ways to cover the same stretch of road, priced side by side, so the contractor takes the one the job can carry.

  • Priced by the hour and the head count

    People, hours and gear are separate lines, so when the contractor queries the figure you can show him which part of it that came from.

  • A minimum that does not need defending

    Set the floor on the service and a short shift prices at the floor. The turnout charge rather sorts itself out.

  • Sent before you leave the compound

    The quote goes from the phone while you are still parked up, which tends to be before anybody else has rung him back.

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

    Arrow board, extra signage, a second van, another body for the pour. Each moves the quoted total as the contractor ticks it, so nothing is re-typed and no figure has to be quietly walked back afterwards.

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

A crew of four moved in a single drag.

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

  • The assignment travels with the shift

    Move the booking and the four names move too, so nobody arrives at last night’s compound at half five in the morning.

  • The contractor is told, not asked

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

  • Nights sit on the board properly

    A shift starting at eight and finishing at six 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 Drumcondra. Need two on the boards from now until the diggers are out. Anyone left?

Every crew is out and the phone goes again.

This trade runs out of people long before it runs out of hours. With nobody left, the page says so and takes the job as a request.

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/go boards on a water main dig

A local authority contractor has the road open for three days. Day works, set hours, two on the boards throughout.

A night overlay on a national road

Eight at night to six in the morning under a lane closure. Different rate, different crew and different people willing to do it.

A town closure for a match day

The closure is the whole job. Barriers out early, roads back after, and the client is the council rather than a builder.

A burst main at eleven on a Sunday

Unplanned and urgent. The minimum charge is what stops a three-hour turnout being invoiced as three hours.

A crane lift on a housing estate

One lane gone for half a day while the frames go over the hoarding. Short, tightly timed and always booked late.

Pole replacement with the network crew

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

Footpath control for a concrete pour

Two hours of pedestrian and driveway management for a builder. The minimum applies, and he sees it before he books.

Convoy working on a regional road

Single-file behind a lead vehicle while the surfacing crew works. Days rather than hours, same faces each morning.

A fortnight of planned works

A crew booked out for two weeks of scheduled digs. One booking a day, the same names on each, one invoice at the end.

Pro

Paid for the shift, however it is paid.

Most of this work is invoiced to a contractor and settled 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 it will stay that way.

  • Cards come with Pro

    A council or an events company that would rather pay on a card gets a link, and the money is yours.

  • Split a long job across two

    Ask for part of a fortnight of works up front and the rest at the end. Staged requests come with Pro, after the booking exists.

How far the van goes for a shift.

Past a point the travel quietly eats the shift. Set what each depot covers and the page declines work outside it.

  • Draw the patch around the depot

    Addresses outside it are told at once, rather than after somebody has already pencilled a crew onto the rota for it.

  • 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 genuinely cover it.

  • Same rate everywhere inside it

    Inside your area the rate is the rate. Bookables adds nothing of its own for a longer run down the motorway.

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 works, night closures and the run between them sit on one board, so a site that is a body short on Tuesday night is visible.

Bookings

One record per shift: the site, the plan reference, the hours, how many on the boards, and who actually worked it on the night.

Online booking

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

Inbox

Site changes, plan revisions and the contractor wanting two more people on Thursday sit in one place rather than across four phones.

Estimates

Quote the way you price the work: people by the hour, the van and the signage, the night loading, each on a line of its own.

Customers

A contractor books 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 shift two hours down the motorway cannot quietly book itself in.

Team

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

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded 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 card, and neither your booking page nor the assignment list will offer anybody else for the work.

No, and it is better to say so. There is no card register and no expiry alerting. What you get is control over who can be offered for which service, so whatever register you keep elsewhere is actually enforced when work is assigned.

You can. Put a minimum charge on the service and short shifts price at that figure, seen by the contractor before he commits rather than disputed 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 licence or permit number and the access arrangements sit on the booking alongside the site, so whoever leads the shift opens the job with the same information you had when you priced it. Bookables stores what you put on the record; it does not draw or check the plan.
