Field & Trades

Scheduling and job software for cleaning companies.

Every site you clean is a job with its own page. Shifts builds the rota from each cleaner's availability, handles swaps and open shifts, and the hours and supplies for each client end up on that client's invoice.

Starts your workspace as Field & Trades, with 14 days of the full Business tier and no card. Free for up to 5 people afterwards.

A week of the work

Where Navalo fits for cleaning companies.

The rota: built from who is free

Shifts schedules from availability. A cleaner who cannot make a shift offers it as a swap, and an open shift is visible to the team and their managers.

On site: photos and sign-offs

The site page takes photos first and works without signal, so a finished job is recorded where it happened.

Month end: supplies and hours on the invoice

Inventory & Assets keeps supplies by location and drafts reorders as purchase orders. Invoicing turns each client's hours and materials into their invoice.

Switched on at setup

The tools Field & Trades installs.

You can untick any of them before you finish setting up, and add others later from the extensions catalogue.

Jobsite

One tab for the site: today's work first, a photo-first diary, toolbox talks each attendee signs, safety items with an owner, and materials from stock, all usable without signal.

  • A Today view with large tap targets
  • A photo-first diary that works offline
  • Toolbox talks signed by each person
  • Certifications read from Training

Shifts

Shift schedules with requirements, drafts from availability, open shifts and swaps, and a Dispatch view that puts crews on jobs.

  • Schedules with the people each shift needs
  • A draft filled from availability, published by a manager
  • Open shifts and swaps people accept
  • Dispatch crews to jobs

RFI Workflows

A numbered register per project that leads with age and whose answer it waits on, with the drawing attached to the question and an ordered approval chain behind it.

  • Numbered per project
  • Days outstanding and who owes the answer
  • Filter by status, age or owner
  • Linked to the task it blocks
Straight answers

What it does not do.

  • The weather on a diary entry is typed by whoever writes it. Navalo reads no forecast service.
  • A toolbox talk is a dated record of who signed it in Navalo. Nothing is filed with a regulator for you.
  • Certification warnings run on the dates somebody entered. Navalo does not check a card with the body that issued it.
  • This is not a drawing-management or BIM system, and there is no Procore, Autodesk or Bluebeam integration.
  • Shifts does not clock people in or out or feed payroll.
Questions

Before you start.

Does Shifts clock people in or run payroll?
No. Shifts schedules, offers swaps and tracks leave; it does not clock anyone in or out or feed payroll.
What do we pick when we sign up?
Field & Trades. Start from this page and it is already selected in the setup wizard; you can still pick something else before you finish.
