Jobs
Color-coded by staffing status. Green means fully staffed, amber means short, red means cancelled. Tap any job to see who's assigned and the start time.
Employees
See where your crew lives. Available employees show in green, assigned ones in blue. Find the nearest available person for a last-minute fill.
Customers
All your customer locations at a glance. Tap to jump to their profile.
Divisions / Yards
Customer sub-locations shown separately so you can see exactly which site a job is at.
Branches
Your company office locations with manager and contact info.
Deployments
Equipment and vehicles currently deployed to job sites, with how long they've been out.
Built for Dispatchers
Pick a date and the map shows that day's jobs with crew assignments. Navigate day-by-day with arrow buttons or jump to any date with the calendar. Tap any marker to see details, then click through to the schedule, employee profile, or customer page. Search any address to drop a pin. Switch between street, satellite, and terrain views.
Remembers Your Preferences
The map saves your settings — which layers are visible, which map style you prefer, and your date filters. Come back tomorrow and everything is where you left it.
