The Simple Crew tells your roofing crew exactly what job they're on, what to do next, and nothing else. This is a company-issued field app for crews and subcontractors working through JobNimbus. No self sign-up — the office adds you in JobNimbus, then you sign in with your phone number. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no clutter. Open the app and today's work is already on screen. The job you're on lifts into a live card showing the address, who's on site, and how long you've been there. One giant button always tells you the next step in plain language — no menus to hunt through. Check in with one tap and the on-site timer starts running. Watch the job move through its stages — scheduled, on site, working, walk-around, done — right on the home screen so everyone knows where the day stands. Shoot before, during, and after roof photos and let the app handle the rest. Photos keep sending in the background even on bad signal, and the app tells you straight up what's still owed — no wondering if it went through. Run the guided roof verification checklist one question at a time, big yes/no buttons built for gloves and bright sun. Review everything in a clean summary before it goes in. Message the office right from the job, with translation built into the message itself — built for bilingual crews working in English and Spanish. All the job details are already there: shingle, colour, pitch, square count, homeowner notes, spec sheet, and the work order PDF, pulled straight from JobNimbus. Working with no bars? Last known jobs, photos, and check-ins stay right on screen, clearly marked as saved, so a bad connection never leaves you stuck. Version 1.5.1 makes CompanyCam photos show up on the first open, says so plainly when a job has no CompanyCam project behind it, and gives the office a straight answer about the connection. Ask your office to add you in JobNimbus, then download The Simple Crew and get to work.
