Crew, labor + the field app

Your crew gets the job. You get the real margin.

Assign the people and the job is on their phone — address, scope, photos, contact. They log hours and materials from the site, and the profit on that job is a number you can see before you invoice it.

Hours carry the rate they were logged at. Marking somebody paid records that you paid them — it does not move money or calculate tax, and the product does not pretend otherwise.

Mike clocked in at 8:47 AM and is still open. An open shift running long is visible to you, and a shift you close is marked owner-closed rather than passed off as clocked.

Add materialsClose the shift

Invented job and invented figures. What is real is the arithmetic: cost is what the crew logged, and margin is quoted minus that — not an estimate of it.

The office stops retyping what the field already knows

Job costing fails when the costs arrive a week after the job.

Hours on a paper sheet and materials on a receipt in a truck are numbers you reconcile on a Sunday, by which point the job is invoiced and the margin is whatever it turned out to be. When the crew logs both from the site, on the record the job already lives on, the margin is a thing you watch rather than a thing you discover.

Give the crew the job, not a 6am text

Assign the people and the context goes with them: address, scope, photos and who to call. Newly assigned crew get a text automatically, so nobody finds out by not being told.

Let the site do the paperwork

Hours, materials and photos are recorded where the work is happening. The activity timeline keeps client-visible events and internal ones apart, so the customer sees progress without seeing your costs.

Know what the job actually made

Logged labor and materials against the quoted total, per job. A line with no cost recorded is treated as unknown rather than as zero — a missing cost showing 100% margin is exactly how a bad number gets believed.

The field app and labor management flow

Keep the trucks moving and watch real profits on site.

From assigned to paid out

Four steps, and the office types none of them.

Build the roster once

People, roles, hourly rates and photos. The rate is what later turns hours into a labor cost you can trust.

Assign the job

The crew see it in the field app with everything they need to arrive ready. They are texted when they are added.

They log the work as it happens

Hours, materials and photos from the site. If you run the time clock it can be off, optional or required — set per business, not per argument.

Read the rollup, then pay

Hours and pay by person and by pay period. Marking somebody paid records the fact; it is not a payroll run and no tax is calculated or withheld.

Running the work

What the job record carries for the people doing it.

All of it hangs off the same job the quote and the schedule are on, which is why the field app already knows the scope and the invoice already knows the cost.

Before you start

The practical questions.

How do crew members sign in — do they need accounts?

You add their email, and they get a sign-in link. There is no password to set or reset and no per-seat charge; the link expires after an hour and they tap it again next time. Nothing to install to get started.

What device do they need, and does it work without signal?

Any phone with a browser. It installs to the home screen like an app if they want that. It does need a connection — there is no offline mode, so a basement with no bars means logging the hours when they are back outside rather than losing them.

Does it track where my crew are?

No. There is no background location and nothing runs while they work. Location is shared only when somebody sends an “on my way” message and only if they turn it on for that trip, and the link the homeowner gets expires on its own. It is a delivery-style tracker for one journey, not a record of anybody’s day.

Can I control what each person can do?

Yes — per crew member. Whether they can send arrival messages, whether they can share their location when they do, whether they can see customer contact details, and whether they can move a job. Costing and margin are the owner’s view either way.

Is this payroll?

It is job costing and pay records, not payroll processing. Hours and pay roll up by crew member and pay period, and marking somebody paid records that you paid them — so the labor cost on every job is real. Moving the money, calculating tax and withholding stay with you or your payroll provider, and the product does not pretend otherwise.

Do I have to make the crew use a time clock?

No. It is off, optional or required, set per business. Its real value is the shift somebody forgot to close: an open shift running long is visible to you, and a shift you close is marked owner-closed rather than quietly recorded as if they clocked out.

Do crew members see my prices and margins?

The field app gives them the job — address, scope, photos, contact — and the place to log hours, materials and photos. Costing and margin are the owner’s view, and the activity timeline separates what the client can see from what is internal.

What if a material cost never gets entered?

It stays unknown rather than becoming zero. That is on purpose: defaulting a missing cost to nothing would show that line at a perfect 100% margin — wrong and flattering at the same time.

Is there a per-seat charge for crew?

Included on every base plan. Flex starts at $0/month plus a 1.25% LGQ platform fee. Solo, Growth, and Scale add a base subscription and lower that fee to 0.50%, 0.25%, or 0.10%. Flex and Solo include 2 crew users; Growth and Scale include 10. Extra crew users are an optional $5/month each on Solo and above.
