Inside Business in a Box

Every job, every crew, every truck — on one board.

Drag-and-drop scheduling, automatic travel-time blocks, customer text-aheads, and a dispatch view that updates the second something changes in the field.

What it does for your shop

📅

One calendar for the whole shop

Crews, subs, install teams, sales appointments — one view, color-coded by trade or job type. Conflicts are flagged before they hit the road.

🚚

Travel time auto-padded

The board knows the drive between two addresses and books the buffer for you. No more 9am jobs scheduled 45 minutes apart in opposite directions.

📲

Customer text-ahead

"Your crew is 15 minutes out." Sent automatically when the lead tech taps en route. Customers love it — and your phone stops ringing with "are they coming?"

🔁

Drag to reschedule

Weather call? Drag the day to the next open slot. The system notifies the customer, updates the route, and re-checks crew availability.

👷

Crew assignment in 2 taps

Assign a job to a foreman. He sees it on his phone with address, scope, materials list, and customer notes — before he leaves the yard.

⏱️

Live status on every job

Pending · En Route · On Site · Completed. Office, customer, and crew all see the same status in real time.

How it works

1

Drop a job on the calendar

New estimate accepted? Schedule it from the same screen — the customer info, scope, and address are already populated.

2

Assign a crew

Drag the job to a tech. His phone gets the assignment, the address, the scope, and the customer's notes.

3

Tech goes en route

One tap on his phone fires the "15 minutes out" text to the customer and updates the dispatch board.

4

Job closes itself

When the tech marks complete, the invoice fires, the review request queues up, and the job moves to "Ready to bill" on the dashboard.
