Plan the day
Daily Dispatch
Plan the day's crews, machines and trucks on one board, then publish it.
Plan the day · Crews and people
People and Crews
Your people, their availability and the crews they work in, ready to dispatch. Keep your employees in one place, with their availability, and group them into crews you can reuse. When the dispatcher builds the day, people and crews go straight onto the project cards. Each foreman sees the crew in My Day.
Problems solved
Where the day breaks down.
Typing out the same crew every night
Your paving crew works together all week, but someone rebuilds it on the sheet every evening.
Planning someone who can't be there
An operator is off or already committed, and nobody notices until the crew is short at 7:00 AM.
Who's running which job today?
With several crews out, the office has to ask around to find out who the foreman is on each jobsite.
What it does
What People and Crews does.
In plain terms. Your version of STRACTA is shaped around how your team works, so bring your own workflow to the demo.
One list of your people
Foremen, operators, labourers and drivers in one place, so the dispatcher plans from the same list every day.
Availability
Record availability, so the people you plan are the people who can work that day.
Reusable crews
Save a crew once and assign it as a group. Change it when the job needs a different mix of people.
Crews on the dispatch
People and crews go onto each project card, with the foreman named on the card. Each foreman sees the crew in My Day.

FAQ
Questions about People and Crews.
Can we change a saved crew?
Yes. Save a crew once, assign it as a group, and change it when a job needs a different mix of people. Each foreman sees the current crew in My Day.
How does availability help the dispatcher?
Availability is part of each person's record, so the dispatcher can check who can work before putting them on a project card.
Can crews be set up for any kind of work?
Yes. A crew is any group you assign together. In the example, Frank O.'s grading crew on Ridgeline Road is set up the same way as Marco D.'s paving crew.
