Field management for contractors

Run your crews from the field.

CrewBrew replaces the paper, texts, and spreadsheets general contractors use to run field crews — one dashboard for the office, one app for the crew. Tasks, time, expenses, and photos, proven with GPS.

Web dashboard for the office Mobile app for the crew Built for 5–30 worker shops

01 — THE OFFICE

Set up the project, break it into tasks.

Create a project with its client, project number, budget, and schedule, then break it into tasks by trade — each with an owner, priority, and estimated hours.

  • Assign to one worker or a whole crew
  • Task dependencies — B can't start until A is done
  • Invite workers by email, scoped to their role

02 — THE CREW

Workers see only their tasks, and clock in.

The crew opens the app to the day's work — no clutter, no access to the whole project. GPS confirms they're on the job site, and flags the clock-in if they're outside the radius.

  • Proof of presence, not the honour system
  • Pause & save progress if the day gets interrupted
  • Add time manually when it's needed

03 — ON THE TASK

Photos, expenses, and equipment — attached as it happens.

Site photos go straight to the task in cloud storage, not a personal camera roll. Material buys and equipment use get logged the moment they happen, instead of on a receipt in a glove box.

  • Photo evidence tied to the task
  • Expenses and equipment logged in the field
  • Mark a task delayed, with the reason recorded

04 — BACK AT THE OFFICE

Review the work, approve it, and the record is done.

Submitted tasks arrive with the worker's report, hours, location, photos, and receipts already attached. Approve or reject from the dashboard — and the week's data is clean before Friday.

  • Every approval has its evidence attached
  • No hand-keying paper timesheets into a spreadsheet
  • A defensible history per project

The problem

This is what you're running the job on today.

The office and the field are disconnected, and the proof of work — hours, location, photos, receipts, approvals — is scattered and half-lost by the time it's needed for payroll and invoicing.

Timesheet

Paper timesheets

Buddy-punching and rounded-up hours, with no proof of when a worker actually started or stopped. Payroll disputes with no evidence.

The honour system

No proof of presence

Was the crew on site at 7am? Without a verified clock-in there's no way to know — just the worker's word.

Glove box

Photos and receipts scattered

Site photos and receipts live in camera rolls and glove boxes. Half are lost by invoicing day — which is money that can't be billed.

Text thread

No real-time visibility

To know whether a task is done, someone has to call or text each worker. The office stays a day behind the field.

No paper trail

Undocumented delays

When a job runs late there's no paper trail of why — so legitimate change orders get eaten instead of billed.

Friday night

Manual data entry

Every Friday someone hand-keys paper timesheets and receipts into a spreadsheet. Hours of admin, and every keystroke is a chance for error.

The product

Two connected portals over one system.

The office gets a command centre. The crew gets something simple enough to use with muddy hands on a phone. Both write to the same record.

The office

GC admin dashboard

A web dashboard for whoever runs the jobs.

  • Projects — client, project number, budget, schedule, status
  • Tasks — priority, budget, schedule, and dependencies between them
  • Crew — invite workers by email, scoped to their role
  • Review & approval — approve or reject submitted work with the report attached
  • Gantt & schedule — see the week and the whole job
The field

Worker app

On the phone, for the crew on site.

  • Their tasks only — sorted for the day, no project clutter
  • GPS clock-in — flagged automatically if outside the job-site radius
  • Photo evidence — snapped and attached to the task
  • Expenses & equipment — logged the moment they happen
  • Submit for approval — notes and report, in one tap

Built for the trades

Organize work by discipline, assign the right crew.

Tasks carry their trade, so the right people get the right work and the schedule reads the way the job actually runs.

Who it's for

Sized for the shop that paper is failing.

General and trade contractors

Running field crews of roughly 5–30 workers across one or more active job sites.

Owner-operators and small office staff

The people who personally chase timesheets, approve work, and prep the invoices.

Not solo tradespeople

CrewBrew is built around a crew. If it's just you, it's more than you need.

Not enterprise GCs

Already locked into a Procore-tier platform? That's a different problem than this one.

Cloud based

Nothing to install, nothing to maintain.

No server in the back office, no software to update. Everything lives in the cloud, so the office and the field are always looking at the same thing.

Always in sync

Live, both ways

What the crew submits on site shows up in the dashboard right away.

Any device

Phone or computer

The app on iPhone and Android, the dashboard in any browser.

Your data

Private to your company

Photos, hours, and receipts are kept to your shop — nobody else's.

Access control

Everyone in their lane

Workers see their own tasks. Only the office can approve and edit.
