Running a crew is chaos.
It doesn't have to be.

If you're managing jobs with WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets and phone calls β€” you're losing hours every single day.

πŸ“±

"Where are my guys right now?"

Chasing your crew by phone every morning to find out where they are and what job they're on.

πŸ“‹

"Did that job get quoted yet?"

Quotes falling through the cracks, invoices going out late, and customers calling you before you call them.

πŸ”₯

"I've got 3 jobs and no one scheduled"

Double bookings, missed appointments, and crew sitting idle while other jobs stack up unassigned.

Everything your trades business needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Built specifically for field service teams β€” not corporate software dressed up as a crew tool.

Common questions

What is PlanMyCrew? +
PlanMyCrew is crew management software built for South African trades contractors. It replaces WhatsApp, spreadsheets and paper with one simple system for scheduling jobs, tracking your team, sending quotes and getting paid.
How long does it take to get set up? +
Most contractors are up and running in under an hour. Sign up, add your team members, set up your services and you're ready to go.
How does the free plan work? +
The Essential plan is completely free for up to 5 users with no time limit. Upgrade to Plus at any time when you need live GPS tracking, unlimited invoicing and more.
What does "R299 per additional user" mean on Plus? +
The Plus base price of R299/month includes your first 5 users. Each user beyond 5 costs R299/month extra. So 7 users = R299 + (2 Γ— R299) = R897/month.
Is my data secure? +
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Your business and customer data is never shared with third parties.
