Crew & Equipment Dispatch Software

Crew and equipment dispatch software for industrial field work.

Know who is going where, and what equipment they need. Plan field work with your crew, equipment and job instructions in one place. BootsReady helps construction, transportation and maintenance teams in Canada and the U.S. organize assignments and keep dispatch connected to daily operations.

No credit card required.

Build tomorrow’s plan around the job.

Keep the customer contact, scope, location, arrival time and assigned resources together. Use the list for job details or the month calendar to review bookings by day.

Plan the schedule

Organize jobs by date and review bookings in list or calendar view, which is how construction job scheduling works across several sites.

Assign the crew

Choose employees from your company records for each job.

Include equipment

Keep the selected units alongside the people assigned to the work.

Share instructions

Send dispatches and review who opened them in BootsReady.

Equipment dispatch software for construction and industrial crews

Assigning equipment to a job happens beside assigning the crew: pick the units the work needs from your own equipment records, choose the employees, then send the dispatch with the site, arrival time, directions and scope. The selected worker opens that dispatch in BootsReady, and the job keeps the crew and equipment assignments together through to the field ticket.

Because the job list and month calendar show every scheduled and in-progress job, a supervisor can handle field crew scheduling for the week in one view, and a contractor moving units between sites gets equipment scheduling from the same job record. Overlapping jobs that share people or equipment are flagged before the plan is saved, so construction dispatch software keeps working when the schedule moves.

Job and resource scheduling across the week

Job and resource scheduling starts with the job: assign crews to jobs from your employee records, allocate equipment to jobs from your own equipment records, then send job details to workers by email. Assignments are checked for overlaps before the job is saved, which is how BootsReady helps you avoid double booking crews and units.

A read receipt lets you confirm the worker saw the job in BootsReady. Use the month calendar to plan the week of work, with a dispatch board for field work that lets a supervisor coordinate people and machines against the same dates and keep the schedule in one calendar.

A practical walkthrough

Three employees. One truck. One clear dispatch.

For example, your crew needs to reach a construction site at 8:00 AM tomorrow. Here’s how to organize that assignment in BootsReady.

  1. 1

    Create the job

    Add the customer, scope of work, site location and directions. Set the arrival time, estimated finish and job time zone.

  2. 2

    Assign your crew and equipment

    Choose employees and equipment from your company records. Review any overlapping assignments before saving.

  3. 3

    Send the dispatch

    Save the job as Scheduled and send the job dispatch instructions to the selected workers by email. Dispatch is also available in BootsReady.

  4. 4

    Follow the work

    Review the dispatch read receipts to see who opened the job in BootsReady. Open the job’s field tickets and invoice tools as the work progresses.

Dispatch questions, answered.

Who can manage dispatch?

Company administrators manage jobs, crew assignments and dispatch messages. Assigned workers can access their dispatches through their BootsReady account.

Can I change an assignment?

Yes. Open a job with Edit to update its details, crew or equipment. Review the updated instructions and resend the dispatch when needed.

Can I see jobs on a calendar?

Yes. Switch between the job list and month calendar. Select a day to review its bookings or create a job for that day.

What happens if assignments overlap?

BootsReady flags overlapping scheduled or in-progress jobs that share crew or equipment. Administrators must review the conflict and provide an override reason to save an overlapping assignment.

What does a read receipt mean?

It records that a worker opened that dispatch in BootsReady. It does not confirm that the email itself was read or that the work has been completed.

What do I need to get started?

Create your company workspace and add employee and equipment records. Then create a job and select the people and units needed for the work.

Can I use it as crew scheduling software?

Yes. A job holds the employees assigned to it and the date they are needed, so the month calendar shows who is booked and when. Overlapping assignments are flagged before the job is saved.
