How it runs
What we build, step by step.
This is the usual shape. Yours gets built around how your team actually does the job.
- 01
Booked hours read daily
Every job on the board for the next two weeks, by crew.
- 02
Compared with available hours
Time off, part-timers and training days are taken from your team calendar.
- 03
Overtime and gaps flagged
Any tech heading for overtime, and any day below a fill level you set.
- 04
Ideas for moving work
Flexible jobs that could move to a quieter day, and which waiting customers to offer earlier slots.
- 05
A weekly summary to the owner
Two weeks ahead, by crew, in one email or sheet.
Shown with software we see a lot. If your team uses something else, we build it into that instead.
Built for your business
Same job, different business. We build yours.
Two firms in the same trade rarely run a job the same way. Different software, different steps, different people signing off. We build it for your business, around how your team actually does the job.
Your steps
Built around the order your team already works in, odd exceptions included.
Your software
Runs inside the tools you already pay for, set up the way you use them.
Your rules
Your wording, your limits, your sign-offs. Nothing generic goes out in your name.
You sign off
Your team keeps the final say.
Moving jobs and approving overtime stay with the dispatcher and the owner. The view only suggests.
What it's worth
What those hours add up to.
2 hours a week, over 46 working weeks, is 92 hours a year. At $50 an hour, that’s
$4,600
back in the business, every year.
Typical, not promised.
Before and after
The job, before and after.
How it runs today
Nobody knows how full next week is until it happens. Some techs sit with half-days while others rack up overtime, and you find out from payroll, or when the busy season arrives and the board is already full.

A month in
You see overtime coming two weeks out instead of on payroll day, and quiet days get filled from the waiting list.
FAQ
Is this a dashboard we have to remember to check?
No. The capacity view arrives as an email or a sheet, whichever you'll read, and there's nothing new to log in to.
Can it help us plan for the busy season?
Yes. With a season or two of history, the capacity view shows when you usually fill up, so you can plan hiring and marketing ahead of time.
