Update dozens of jobs in one go, not one by one
When a van breaks down, an engineer calls in sick or the weather kills a day of outdoor work, you need to move a whole day of jobs fast. Gaffer’s bulk job actions let you reschedule, reassign, retag, change status and message customers across many jobs at once — so you fix the backlog in seconds instead of clicking through every job.
Part of jobs & scheduling in Gaffer, which replaces a paper diary, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group.
Every job, every engineer, every day — on one board.
Create a job in seconds, drag it onto the right engineer, and watch it move from booked to on-site to done. The office sees everything; the van sees only what matters.
Owners stop being the human dispatch board. Engineers stop ringing in for the next address.
Bulk job actions are one of the 19 things in jobs & scheduling. See the rest →
- Bulk reschedule jobs to a new date or time slot
- Reassign a batch of jobs to a different engineer or team
- Change status across multiple jobs in one action
- Add or remove tags on many jobs together
- Notify all affected customers with a single bulk SMS or email
- Every bulk change logged against each job for a clear audit trail
Step 04 of the job: on site
The engineer taps “On my way” and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.
Jobs & Scheduling is where bulk job actions sits, and that is the step it shows up in most. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →
What are bulk job actions for?

Can two engineers work the same job?
Yes. A job can carry more than one appointment and more than one person, each with their own times, and each sees it in their own list. Time is recorded per person, so a two-day job with a mate on it still costs correctly.
What happens when a job overruns?
You drag it, and everyone affected is told. The board shows the clash before you confirm it, the engineer’s app updates, and the customer whose slot moved gets a message rather than a doorstep surprise.
Which plan is it on?
Every paid plan. Bulk job actions is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
