Crew scheduling

Every closure and every crew on one week

Day shifts, night seal runs and the Sunday callout on one board, so the short site is obvious before the trucks are loaded.

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

The three ways the same stretch of road can be covered, priced side by side so the contractor picks 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 number you can show him which part it came out of.

  • 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 compound

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

  • Extras priced as options · Pro

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

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

A whole crew moved in one drag.

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

  • The assignment travels with the shift

    Move the booking and the crew moves with it, so nobody fronts up 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, because not every shuffle is worth a message.

  • Nights sit on the board properly

    A shift that starts at ten and finishes 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 Grey Lynn. Need two on the boards from now until the diggers are out. Anyone left?

Everyone is out and the phone still goes.

This trade runs out of people well before it runs out of hours. With 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

Shoulder closure for fibre trenching

A contractor has the berm open for three days. Day shift, set hours, and two people on the bats the whole time.

A night chip seal run

Ten at night through to first light under a lane closure. A different rate, a different crew and a different set of people willing to work it.

A town centre closure for the council

A market day or a parade where the closure is the whole job and the client is a council rather than a builder.

A watermain break on a Sunday night

Unplanned and urgent. The minimum charge is the only thing stopping a three-hour callout being sold as three hours.

A crane lift on a state highway shoulder

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

Pole replacement with the lines 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 control for a builder. The minimum applies, and the builder sees it when they book.

A slip clearance on a rural road

Single-lane running with a shuttle each way while the diggers work. Days, not hours, and the same crew each morning.

A week-long plant shutdown

A crew wanted for seven days straight. One booking a day, the same names on each, and one invoice at the end of it.

Pro

Paid for the shift, however they pay.

Most of this work 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 it always will.

  • Cards come with Pro

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

  • Split a long job in two

    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 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 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 down 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 seal runs and the drive between them sit on one board, so the site that is short of crew on Tuesday night is obvious.

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

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

Inbox

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

Estimates

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

Customers

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

Territories

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

Team

Add every controller, attach each service to the ones warranted for it, 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 warranted for it, and neither your booking page nor the assignment list will offer anybody else for that work.

No, and it is worth being straight about it. There is no warrant register and no expiry alerting, whether you work to the older CoPTTM or to the New Zealand guide to temporary traffic management. What you get is control over who can be offered for which service.

You can. Put a minimum charge on the service and short jobs price at that figure, seen by 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.
