Early access · Building in 2026
CrewNest reads incoming work orders and builds conflict-free crew schedules, checking skills, certifications, hours and travel before anyone is dispatched. Built for field service, trades and facility teams.
The demo runs on sample data. No sign-up needed.
Crew A
Electrical
Crew B
Plumbing
Crew C
HVAC
Every crew, job and travel leg on a single timeline.
Emails and PDFs become structured jobs for review.
Licences and tickets are checked before assignment.
Overtime and rest-period conflicts surface early.
The problem
A foreman gets a work order by email at 6:40 a.m. Someone has to read it, work out which crew holds the right ticket, check who is already over hours, and text everyone the plan. When a job overruns, the whole day is re-sorted by hand.
Today
Work orders arrive as emails, PDFs and photos, so details are re-typed into a sheet and often get lost.
Today
Expired licences, overtime thresholds and travel time live in different places, so conflicts are found on site.
Today
One late job cascades through the day, and every change has to be relayed crew by crew.
With CrewNest
Core features
Six connected parts of one workflow. Each feeds the next, so the schedule stays true as the day changes.
A day and week timeline per crew with jobs, travel legs and breaks. Drag-free assignment from a suggested list keeps dispatch quick.
Dispatchers see the whole day at once and spot gaps before they cost hours.
Final plan every other feature feeds into.
Incoming emails and PDF work orders are read into job fields: site, scope, trade, priority and requested window. Anything uncertain goes to a review queue.
Less retyping, and nothing is scheduled from a guess.
Feeds the review queue and the crew board.
Each crew member carries trades, licences and ticket expiry dates. Jobs that need a specific certificate only suggest crews that hold a valid one.
Fewer compliance surprises on site and fewer aborted visits.
Constrains the suggestions shown on the crew board.
Double-bookings, rest-period gaps and weekly hour thresholds are checked on every change and explained in plain language.
Problems are fixed at planning time, not discovered at 4 p.m.
Works from the same data as timesheets and insights.
Crew leads confirm arrival, completion and notes from a phone. Hours roll up into a timesheet draft that a manager can approve.
Actual hours replace estimates, and payroll prep starts from real data.
Closes the loop from schedule back to the record.
Utilisation, travel share and overrun trends by crew and trade, with short written explanations of what changed week to week.
Owners see where capacity is actually going and plan hiring with evidence.
Built from completed jobs and check-ins.
How it works
STEP 1
Work orders arrive by email, upload or form. Files are stored and queued for reading.
STEP 2
Fields are extracted into a job record. Low-confidence fields are marked for review.
STEP 3
Crews are ranked on skills, valid certificates, hours, location and travel time.
STEP 4
A dispatcher confirms or edits the plan. Conflicts are shown with the reason and a fix.
STEP 5
Crews receive their day. Check-ins and notes flow back into hours and insights.

Technology
CrewNest’s architecture is designed on AWS so that each work order moves through the same path: stored once, read by Textract, orchestrated by Lambda, interpreted by Bedrock and recorded in DynamoDB before a dispatcher sees it. The services below are the architecture components for that path.
Amazon API Gateway
Receives uploads and form requests over authenticated HTTPS endpoints.
Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB
S3 holds original work orders; DynamoDB holds jobs, crews and schedules.
AWS Lambda and Amazon Textract
Lambda orchestrates each job; Textract reads text and fields from PDFs.
Amazon Bedrock
Interprets scope, drafts crew explanations and weekly summaries.
Amazon Cognito and Amazon SES
Cognito signs users in; SES delivers dispatch and approval emails.
