The crew app
The crew app that runs the day one stop at a time.
Your crew opens their day on their own phones: the route, the stop they are on, the notes for it, the checklist, and done. They clock in on the same app, and the hours land on a timesheet the office approves.
$297/month, per company, unlimited users, no per-seat pricing. 14 days free, then month to month. Card required at signup, no charge until the trial ends. Cancel anytime. No setup fee.
The real software on a phone, recorded against a demo landscaping company. Every figure on screen is theirs and the company is fictitious.
The hours come from the clock, not from memory.
The crew clocks in on the app before the first stop, and their hours start when they press it, not when they arrive. At each stop they tap “I’m here” to start the visit. They can see their own punches for the day and the week, and if one looks wrong they add a note rather than editing it.
In the office, those punches are Timesheets: each person’s hours, overtime and labor cost, a place to correct a clock time, and an approval. Time on site from the phone’s location sits beside it for comparison; the hours come from the clock.
One screen per stop, because that is how the day is actually worked.
The crew is not browsing a dashboard. They are at a house, doing a thing, and then driving to the next one. The app gives them the stop they are on: the address, directions, what to do there as a checklist, the notes, and a way to mark it done.
What they mark done is the same record the office is looking at, so the day closes as it happens rather than being reported at five o’clock by somebody reconstructing it from memory.
And the owner can run it from the truck.
You can create a client, write a quote, start a job or send an invoice from your phone, and you get pushed the moment a quote is approved. The office is not a place any more, which matters most on the days you never get back to it.
The crew clocks in on the same app before the first stop, and their hours start when they press it, not when they arrive. They can see their own punches for the day and the week but cannot change them; if one looks wrong they add a note and the office fixes it.

Questions owners ask
Does every crew member need a paid seat?
Does it track hours or clock them in?
Do they need a company phone?
What does the office see while the crew is working?
The rest of the same system
Platy is one system, so none of these is a separate product or a separate bill. They are the other jobs the same software is doing while it does this one.
Scheduling and routing
Book the visit, assign the crew, and the day orders itself into a loop the truck can drive.
Client relations
The customer record is the work, plus texting and a login of their own.
The whole system
What it looks like when quoting, the schedule, the crew, invoicing and the books are one piece of software.

Put one crew on it for a week.
One crew, one route, five days. If it survives a week of real back yards, it will survive the rest of them.
