Everything Dayboard does
Scheduling for jobs, crew, plant and vehicles, with the paperwork attached. Here's the whole product, feature by feature, each with a guide that shows it working.
Crew and plant scheduling, nine ways to see it
The schedule is the heart of Dayboard. Book people, machines and vehicles onto jobs and see the week the way you think about it.
- Nine views: week, month, timeline, per-person boards and more, so the office and the crew can each look at the same day their own way.
- Clashes caught before they cost you. Dayboard checks every booking as you make it (a machine at the mechanic, a person already committed, a public holiday) and says no before the morning goes wrong.
- Company non-working days: set your RDOs and shutdowns once and every view knows about them.
- Releases that behave. Free a resource from today onward in one action; the record of where things actually were stays honest.

Jobs with the paperwork attached
A job in Dayboard carries everything the crew needs on site, so "it's in the ute" stops being a sentence anyone says.
- Drawings, BYDA plans and safety docs on the job itself, viewable on a phone at the kerb, PDFs included.
- Statuses that match real life: created, scheduled, done, with finish and cancel handled properly.
- Site photos flow back to the job. The crew photographs the pour, the trench, the damage, and it lands on the job record, not in someone's camera roll.
- Clients group the work. Lightweight on purpose: enough to see every job you've done for a builder, without pretending to be a CRM.

Quotes, priced and tracked to the job
Price the work line by line, track every quote from draft to won or lost, and turn a won quote into a job without typing it in again.
- Line-by-line pricing, rates excluding GST, with GST worked out once and a total that is right to the cent. Not registered for GST? No GST line at all.
- Revisions that keep their history. Re-price a quote the client has seen and the version they saw stays on record, under the same number.
- Won becomes a job in one step. Client, site, notes and the quote's total come across; you choose which files the crew gets.
- Each job's value, variations and invoices. Approve variations as they come, record the invoices your accounting package sends, and see what's left to bill and a cashflow chart. Your crew never sees a dollar.
- Deadlines that remind you. A draft due for submission shows on Home before the date, and stays there if it slips.
- Win rate and pipeline reports by month, by quote manager and by client. Your crew never sees a price.

A fleet register that knows what's due
People, plant, vehicles, subbies, suppliers: six kinds of resource, each carrying its own record.
- Meters with history. Engine hours and odometers, every reading kept with who took it and when, and a prestart answer updates the machine's hours by itself.
- A five-minute yard walk records the whole fleet's meters on one screen, in one save.
- Service due, honestly. The worst state wins, and a machine with no reading is never assumed to be fine.
- Sold gear keeps its history: the date, the buyer, and every service it ever had.

Prestarts and site forms, signed and kept
Build the form once in the office; the crew fills it in where the work is.
- Nine answer types: ticks, numbers, text, photos, meter readings, a finger-drawn signature and more.
- Autosaved as they go. A dropped signal or a backgrounded browser doesn't lose a half-done prestart.
- The record can't drift. Every submission keeps the exact version of the form it was filled in against. Editing today's prestart can't change what an operator was asked in March.
- A proper PDF comes out: who, what, when, signed, ready to hand to a principal contractor.

Timesheets, filled in on site and signed
Each person fills in their week on their phone and signs it with a finger. The office approves it or sends it back: Dayboard records and approves hours, and takes them out as a spreadsheet.
- The schedule fills in the job. Each day starts with the job they were booked on; they add start, finish and break, and the hours add themselves up. A night shift past midnight counts on the day it started.
- Signed every time it goes in. The worker signs on submit. The office approves it from the list, or sends it back with a reason the worker reads on their phone.
- Corrections stay on the record. Once a week is handed in, every change says what it was and what it became, on screen and on the PDF.
- Leave, allowances and the doctor's certificate sit on the day they belong to, from your own lists. A certificate is seen by the worker and the office, and nobody else.
- Hours only, on purpose. No rates, no awards, no overtime rules. Approved weeks come out as a CSV in plain decimal hours, ready for whatever your bookkeeper already uses.
Toolbox talks with a paper trail
Announcements work like a feed the crew already knows how to use, except this one keeps a record you can stand behind.
- Post once, reach everyone, or just the crew a message concerns. Attach the SWMS or the site photo and it goes up with the message, so nobody is told about a document that hasn't arrived.
- Seen and acknowledged are different things, and Dayboard tracks both. You can see exactly who has ticked the wet-weather plan, and chase the ones who haven't.
- Acknowledgements are never rewritten. Not by anyone, including admins. That's what makes the record worth keeping.
- Comments where you want them, locking where you don't.

And the rest of the day's work
The features that don't need a picture. They just quietly hold the company together.
The company library
Policies, procedures and reference docs in one place the crew can actually find, and open on a phone. The library guide shows it set up.
Roles that match the crew
Admins run the company, managers run the day, field workers see their schedule, their documents and their forms, and nothing that isn't theirs. Invite your crew walks through it.
Works on any phone
Dayboard runs in the browser on whatever the crew already carries, and can be added to the home screen like an app. Nothing to install from a store. Two minutes, once.
Leaving is easy, on purpose
Cancel anytime in the app, and export everything whenever you like: every record as spreadsheets, every document in a folder tree, a PDF of every form. The export guide lists the lot.
