Built for trades and renovation companies

Stop chasing timesheets.

See who's on site, schedule your crew and handle time off in one simple portal. Hours add up on their own and come out ready for payroll, without a single phone call.

Every company gets its own private portal, set up for how they work.

Here's how the portal works

A quick walkthrough of a normal work day, from the first clock in to hours that are ready for payroll.

yourcompany.portal
01

Clock in from any phone

Your crew taps once to start their day, right from the job site.

02

Build the week's schedule

Put the right people on the right jobs and everyone sees it.

03

Approve time off

Requests come to you in one place, not buried in your texts.

04

Get hours ready for payroll

Hours add up on their own so pay day takes minutes, not hours.

Everything your crew runs on, in one place

Built around how trades and renovation companies actually work. Your crew uses it on their phones, and the office uses it on any computer.

Time clock

Your crew clocks in and out from their phone, and their hours sync to every device right away.

Scheduling

Plan the week, put the right people on each job and make changes in seconds.

Time off

Requests land in one place. Approve or decline, and the schedule stays accurate.

Jobs

Keep every job in one list, with who's working on it and where things stand.

Materials

Track the materials used on each job so nothing goes missing or gets forgotten.

Payroll ready hours

Hours and pay are worked out for each pay period. You pay your crew the way you already do.

Documents

Share files with the whole crew or just a few people, or keep them private.

Staff directory

Everyone's contact info in one spot, instead of scattered across a dozen phones.

Reports and logs

See who did what and when, including any edits a manager makes to someone's hours.

Also from CrewBase: Web, a website and Google listing for your business. Coming soon.

Up and running without the headache

You don't need to be a computer person. We set everything up for you and stick around after.

  1. 1

    Book a demo

    We walk you through the portal over a call or in person, and talk about how your company runs day to day.

  2. 2

    We set it up for you

    You send us your crew list and how you like to work. We build your own private portal around it.

  3. 3

    Your crew logs in

    Everyone gets their own login on their phone, and we're a message away whenever you need help or a change.

Two ways to get your portal

Either way, it's your own portal, built for your company alone. Every company runs a little differently, so you'll get a clear quote before anything is set up.

Things people usually ask

Does my crew need to download an app?

No. The portal runs in any web browser, on phones, tablets and computers. Your crew opens a link and logs in. They can also save it to their phone's home screen so it opens just like an app.

Is our information secure?

Every company gets its own separate portal and database, so your information is never mixed in with anyone else's. Everyone has their own login, and managers decide who can see what. Security is built in from the start, not added on later.

Does the portal pay my crew?

No. It adds up everyone's hours and pay for each pay period so the numbers are ready for you. You still pay your crew the way you do today, through your bank or payroll provider.

Can the portal be changed to fit how we work?

Yes. On the Managed plan you can ask for changes anytime. Brand new features built just for you come with a one time cost, agreed on before any work starts. If you own your portal outright, your own team handles changes, or we can quote them.

What's the difference between Managed and Own it outright?

With Managed, you pay monthly and we take care of everything behind the scenes. With Own it outright, you pay once, we hand the portal over, and your team runs it. Most companies without an IT person go with Managed.

How long does setup take?

It depends on the size of your crew and what you need set up. We'll give you a clear timeline on your demo, before you commit to anything.

Built by someone who's been on the job site

Hi, I'm Fareed, the founder of CrewBase. I've worked alongside renovation crews here in Winnipeg, and I've seen firsthand how much time gets wasted chasing paper timesheets, sorting out schedules over text and piecing payroll together at the end of the week.

So I built a better way. Every CrewBase portal is set up securely from day one, so you can focus on the build while we handle the tracking.
