Pain points every services owner knows

These aren't hypothetical — they're the exact headaches that eat your Friday afternoons and make payroll week miserable.

  • Crews hit eight to twelve stops a day and you need proof of presence at each one — not just a daily total.
  • Workers carry their own phones and won't open an app that takes more than two taps.
  • Routes change every morning and the schedule has to push to phones, not get printed and lost.
  • Customer disputes about service windows happen monthly and you need a 30-second answer, not a Saturday spent in the data.

Features that fix it — mapped to your workflow

Every bullet below links to a feature page with full details, screenshots, and FAQ. Nothing vaporware — it's either live or on the 90-day roadmap.

Two-tap clock

Mobile clock-in is one screen — pick the stop, hit Clock, done. No menus, no codes.

Per-stop GPS proof

Every clock-in records location — pull up the day's route in 30 seconds when a customer disputes the visit.

Route scheduling

Build the day's route in the schedule view; it pushes to each crew's phone in order.

Worker self-service

Crew sees their schedule and hours in the app — no 'how many hours did I get this week?' texts.

Monday-to-Friday in ShiftDeck

Here's what a typical week looks like for a services shop running ShiftDeck. No theory — just the steps.

  1. Import your customer list as ShiftDeck sites — bulk paste from a spreadsheet, attach a small geofence to each.
  2. Build the day's route in the morning, push to phones with one tap.
  3. Crew clocks at each stop — GPS attaches automatically per company policy.
  4. Owner monitors live board on phone or tablet during the day.
  5. Friday: 20-minute payroll close, export to Gusto/QuickBooks/Patriot, pay the team.

Services FAQ

We obsess about this. Two taps to clock, no required logins after the first, and the schedule is the first screen they see. Most teams go from spotty paper to 95%+ mobile clock-in within two weeks.
