Won to ready

01 · Won to ready

Win the job. It’s already waiting to be scheduled.

The TruTec operations pipeline: visits moving from ready to schedule through dispatched, in progress, completed and invoiced

Ready-to-schedule queue

Every service on a won estimate becomes a card waiting for a date, with quantity, estimated days and the suggested crew.

Past work, reusable

Scheduled and completed work stays in the sidebar. Drag it onto a day for a follow-up or touch-up.

Operations pipeline

Every visit moves itself from ready, to scheduled, dispatched, in progress, completed and invoiced.

Your columns, your automations

Rename columns, add your own, and have a column notify someone, create a task, set a field or attach a checklist.

Job stages

A job-level board for prepare, execute and close out. You pick which sales stage hands work to operations.

A home for every job

Visits, stage, materials, purchasing, money, site and checklists for the job on one operations page.

Readiness checklists

Permits, plant booked, customer told: prep lists roll up to a “3 of 5 ready” chip on every card.

Material orders

Track each material from ordered to received, with a dated reminder to confirm the plant before the work.

Vendor quotes side by side

Every vendor quote on the job by material, cheapest first, with the accepted one marked.

Divisions

Define divisions like paving, sealcoat and striping that filter and colour the schedule and pipeline.

Drag, see the verdict, drop. Every crew, every day.

The TruTec week schedule: sealcoat, striping, paving and grounds visits across crews, with a queue of won work

Six views

Day with hour lanes per crew, 3-day, week, month, crews across the week, and a map of the next 30, 60 or 90 days.

A verdict before you drop

Clear, weather risk or crew conflict, shown while you drag, before anything moves.

Multi-day jobs done right

Three-day jobs skip weekends, holidays and a crew’s days off. Move just the rained-out day.

Work week and days off

Set the company work week and named days off, company-wide or for one crew.

Start times, hourly grid

Give visits start and end times and drag blocks on a calendar-style hourly grid.

Drop a whole job

Drag a job’s heading onto a day to place every service at once on its suggested crew.

Run order for the day

Drag cards to set the day’s order. Crews see the same order on their phones.

Colour, filter, group

Colour by crew, service or division; filter by estimator, division or service; group cards your way.

Search the whole history

“When were we last at DC Ranch?” Search every dated visit, not just this week.

Undo anything

Undo a move or a whole batch in one tap, and see every visit’s schedule history.

Schedule notes

Pin “Safety meeting 6:30” or “Plant closed” to a day, for everyone or one crew.

A forward P&L

Scheduled revenue and profit by day and month, hidden from anyone who can’t see prices.

Printable week

A PDF of the week by day: crew, hours and address, plus money for those allowed.

View-only teammates

Make anyone view-only. They request a date or a move, and schedulers approve it with a note.

Hold a date

Pencil a job in before it’s won. It locks the crew’s day and turns into a real visit when signed.

Add a job in seconds

Type a name and address, pick dates, crew and people, and it’s on the board.

Weather & conflicts

03 · Weather & conflicts

Rain, cold and double-booking. Caught before the crew rolls.

The TruTec schedule by crew with booked capacity and a forecast on every day

Double-booking caught

Warns when a crew, machine or person is already booked on any overlapping day of multi-day work.

Weather built for pavement

Flags 60%+ rain, asphalt under 45°F, sealcoat under 50°F and striping under 40°F, and finds the next good day.

Weather-safe days

One click lists the best crew-and-date slots that pass the job’s weather rules.

Capacity at a glance

Booked vs available crew-days, and the next open day for each crew on every card.

Reschedule reasons

Moving published work asks why (weather, customer), and cards count reschedules.

Rules for people

Rules like “Joe doesn’t run the paver” or “Ana works with Luis” that flag or block an assignment.

Repeat work & routes

04 · Repeat work & routes

Weekly mowing, monthly sweeps. Planned in a few clicks.

A grounds crew route day in the TruTec schedule: stops in run order across the day

Repeat this visit

Daily, weekly, every 2 or 4 weeks, monthly or “2nd Tuesday”, up to 52 visits, skipping days off.

Copy a visit or a day

Copy a visit to more dates, or a whole day to other days in its run order. One undo removes the batch.

Crew routes

Save a crew’s day of stops as a route, then plan it onto one day or many: “stop 2 of 6 · every week”.

Publish & dispatch

05 · Publish & dispatch
