Run the day

One column per engineer, and a column for the unassigned

A shared diary hides the thing you most need to see: who has nothing on. Gaffer’s team view puts each engineer in their own column with unassigned work beside them, so you can drag a job onto the person with the gap.

Jobs & Scheduling in Gaffer
The area it belongs to

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.

Where it fits

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 team calendar 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 is team calendar 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. Team calendar is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
