ToolTime’s carpenter app: track work progress with real-time updates

Picture this: a new job comes in, you see your whole team’s schedule at a glance, and easily assign it to the right person for the job. After adding the instructions and materials needed, you don't have to do anything else as the job is automatically visible on the team member's phone. They can start work right away, track their progress in real-time and you'll see it all update from the office.

With ToolTime it's really that simple! Easily assign appointments and your team members can update the related job sheet in the carpenter app. They can log the work progress by taking photos, adding measurements, materials, tracking their hours and getting a digital signature from the customer.

Everything syncs in real-time to the web software, so you’ll get an overview of the work without needing to be there on-site.

Your working day - with and without ToolTime’s joiner & carpenter software

All team members meet in the workshop and you spend ages going through the day’s jobs with each person. It’s time consuming and tedious.

Your whole team receives their individual jobs with instructions, deadlines and key details on their smartphones. You can relax knowing that they’re able to start work without any long briefings.

You have to deal with constant questions from your team. Materials and dimensions are unclear because documents have been lost. The phone is also ringing off the hook: a customer wants a quote for a table, another wants to move their appointments. You have to get all the details to your team members in a hectic rush. 
With
The phone rings, but all the measurements and tasks are stored in ToolTime in the appointment. You easily create the quote for the table in a few seconds and reschedule the customer’s appointment in a click. The assigned team member will be automatically updated

You need to tell your team that they need to travel to their appointments. They will need the customer's details - name, address and other instructions. You also need to tell your team which tools they need. And later, your team tembers will each have to collect the customer's signature and hand it in at the workshop.
With
Your team members have the details on the work they need to do and the dates all in one place within ToolTime. They can track their work progress and add photos, notes, measurement details and more to the job sheet, finalising it with the customer’s signature. Everything is synced to the office within a few seconds and can be billed immediately.

Your team wants to call it a day - and it’s well deserved. However, they all have to come back to the workshop and each pass on their paper timesheets to you. You sit in front of an Excel sheet and enter each entry manually. After this, you still need to create and sign invoices and send them to your customers. Plus, you need to prepare your team’s schedules for the next day. Who has to be where, when and what is needed?
With
The team has already entered their working hours in the ToolTime app during the day. This can also be viewed immediately in the desktop version and can be exported for payroll whenever you need. The team goes home and can already see all their jobs for the next day in the app. You too can finally call it a day.
