CrewAssign is workforce scheduling built for construction companies — the office schedules the work, the crew sees it on their phone, and the record of what happened stays attached to the job site. FOR THE CREW • See your own schedule for the day, the week or the month. • Clock in and out on site. Your hours land against the right job automatically. • Mark tasks complete and attach photos as you go. • Request materials from the job site instead of chasing someone by text. • Request time off and see where the request stands. • Add your scheduled visits to your phone's calendar. • Works offline. Clock-ins, task updates and photos taken with no signal are queued on the device and sent when you are back in range. FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND FOREMEN • A calendar of every scheduled visit, with conflict detection so two jobs can't claim the same worker. • Job sites that hold everything about the work: tasks, materials, equipment, permits, inspections, photos and documents. • Assign workers to visits and reschedule from your phone. • Approve or decline time-off requests and materials requests as they come in. • Recurring visit rules for work that repeats. • Estimates and PDF invoices built from the work that was actually recorded. • Reports and analytics on hours, costs and job progress. BUILT FOR THE FIELD • English and Spanish throughout the app. • Face ID / Touch ID unlock. • Push notifications when a schedule changes or a request needs your attention. • Photo metadata, including any GPS coordinates your camera recorded, is stripped on the device before anything is uploaded. ABOUT ACCOUNTS CrewAssign is used by a company, and accounts are created by that company's administrator — you cannot sign up as an individual. If your employer uses CrewAssign, sign in with the account they gave you. If you would like CrewAssign for your own company, get in touch at support@crewassign.app. Location is used only at the moment you clock in or out, so your employer has an accurate record of time on site. It is never collected in the background, and clocking in still works if you decline the permission.

Verdict

The call

ScheduleAnywhere's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
