Your crew talks. We organize. Stop running your business through 47 group texts. CrewBoard sorts through the noise so you stay up to speed — without reading every message. Your crew chats like they always do. You stay on top of what matters: what's pressing, what's pending, and what's getting done. HOW IT WORKS Every message your crew sends gets read and sorted — flagged, task, or normal chat. The signal gets surfaced. The chatter stays in the chat. • Flagged — Important stuff surfaces automatically. Nothing slips through the cracks, and your crew never has to text you twice. • Tasks — A normal message like "Jake, grab filters from Lowe's before Park Ave" becomes a tracked task. It shows up pending for them and you. They mark it done; you see it done. • Events — Schedule the day's jobs. Your crew sees what to do and when. You see what's in progress and what's overdue — a pulse check without waiting for a reply. FOR THE OWNER • Every message auto-sorted, so you don't miss a beat • Big picture or little picture, fast • See what's pending, without keeping a separate list • The whole business on one screen FOR THE CREW • No new app to learn — they text like they do now • Job details right in the chat, so they know what to do and when • Their own simple dashboard — a glance at the day, no mental list • Everything in one place — they never have to leave the chat BUILT FOR SERVICE BUSINESSES Landscaping, cleaning, HVAC, trades, restoration, pest control, pool service — any crew, any size.
