Built with three contractors over two years. Every feature here came out of a dispatcher complaining about something.
Crews down the side, the day across the top. Drag to reschedule and everyone affected is told.
Works offline. Job sheets, photos and signatures queue on the phone and sync when signal returns.
A link, not an app. Shows the arrival window and the engineer's name, and updates when the board moves.
Van stock per vehicle. Using a part on a job deducts it and flags a reorder at your threshold.
Raised from the job sheet with labour, parts and VAT already on it. Sent before the van leaves site.
Schedule a year of quarterly visits in one action, with reminders and a renewal prompt sixty days out.
A shared calendar and a WhatsApp group genuinely works at that size. Come back when the dispatcher starts losing track — you will know.
This is for jobs measured in hours and days, not fit-out projects measured in months with Gantt charts and subcontractor payment schedules.
It records hours per job and exports them. It does not run WPS or produce payslips.
Be honest with yourself about this one. The board still helps the dispatcher, but half the value is in the field and it needs the crews to actually use it.
