Operations

Your PM tool runs the project. This runs the people on it.

CrewDispatchr Operations is the workforce layer for construction staffing — requisitions, assignments, attendance, timesheets, job orders, documents, and a trades catalogue. It manages the crews on the job, not the job itself, so it sits alongside a tool like Procore instead of competing with it.

Requisitions & assignments

From "we need six framers" to names on the job.

Turn a request for labor into a filled assignment. Requisitions capture what's needed and by when; assignments put specific, compliant workers against it — the operational step between a client's ask and a crew on site.

  • Requisitions for what each job needs
  • Assignments that place named workers
  • Only compliant workers can be assigned

Attendance & timesheets

The workforce record, from clock-in to approved hours.

Attendance and timesheets live here as the system of record for who worked, where, and for how long. It's the same verified data your dispatch board and accounting rely on — one operational truth, not three copies.

  • Attendance tied to the assignment and site
  • Timesheets that feed payroll and job cost
  • One record, shared across the suite

Job orders

Client orders that become staffed crews.

Job orders connect what a client asked for to the requisitions and assignments that fulfil it, and back to the client record for billing. The whole thread — order, crew, hours — stays in one place.

  • Orders linked to the client and its sites
  • Straight through to requisitions and assignments
  • Traceable from order to hours to invoice

Documents & trades catalogue

Worker and client documents, and the trades you staff.

Keep worker and client documents attached to the records they belong to, and define the trades you staff in one catalogue that requisitions and assignments draw from. It's the reference layer that keeps everything else consistent.

  • Documents on the worker and client records
  • A trades catalogue every requisition uses
  • Consistent trades across the operation

Where it fits

It runs the workforce — not the project.

CrewDispatchr Operations deliberately stops at the edge of the crew. It doesn't do construction project management, task tracking, or drawing and document control — so it slots in next to the PM tools you already run, and owns the part they were never built for: the people.

What it owns

Requisitions, assignments, attendance, timesheets, job orders, worker and client documents, and the trades catalogue.

What it leaves to your PM tool

Project schedules, RFIs, submittals, drawings, and task management stay in the tool built for them, like Procore.

Why that's better

One system does the workforce properly instead of two systems doing it halfway. No fight over who owns the project.

We'll run one job order end to end — requisition, assignments, attendance, timesheets — so you can see where it fits next to your stack.
