Sunday · 21:47

You didn’t start a building firm to spend Sunday night doing admin.

The missed calls, the “any update?” texts, the VAT deadline, Friday’s wages. By the time you’ve made the list, you’ve lost the evening. Here’s the same Sunday, with CrewFlow already on it.

Always on

While you’re on the tools, CrewFlow keeps watch.

It doesn’t just store your information. It keeps an eye on the things that quietly cost you money when they’re missed, and flags them before they do.

Quotes going cold

A quote that’s sat unopened for days gets flagged, so you can follow up while the job’s still warm.

Invoices slipping overdue

Reminders go out on day 3, 7, 14 and 21 on their own, so you stop being the one who chases the money.

Double-booked staff

Put someone on two jobs at once and CrewFlow catches the clash before the week starts, not on Monday morning.

Certificates about to expire

Insurance, qualifications and permits with an expiry date get flagged before they lapse.

Leads going quiet

An enquiry no one’s followed up gets surfaced, so nothing slips while you’re out on site.

Where the business stands

A plain-English weekly summary and a company-health view, so the important stuff is never out of sight.

The product

One system. Every part of the job.

From the first enquiry to the final payment, every step lives in CrewFlow, and they all talk to each other.

Leads

Never lose another enquiry.

Every call, web form and referral lands in one place, so nothing slips while you’re on site.

Every channel, one list
Phone, website, WhatsApp and referrals. Every enquiry lands in the same place.
Chased, not forgotten
CrewFlow nudges you when a lead’s gone quiet.

Switching & trust

You’re not ripping anything out. You’re getting organised.

Keep your accountant. Keep Xero. We move you across by hand and slot CrewFlow in as the system that runs the day-to-day.

Moving over is done with you, not dumped on you.

Switching systems is the scary part, so we don’t leave you to it. Your customers, jobs and finances are brought across, checked, and shown to you in a preview before anything goes live.

Works with the tools you already trust.

Tax figures, calculated as you go

Daily backups and your data kept secure.

CrewFlow isn’t an HMRC filing tool, and there’s no live sync to set up or break. It keeps your numbers straight and hands them over clean, so you and your accountant stay in control.

Why it works

Less admin. Faster payment. Nothing lost.

No invented numbers. Just the things CrewFlow does on every job, without being asked.

The days overdue invoices get chased automatically, so you stop having the awkward money conversation.
Every £
Labour, materials and subcontractor costs tracked against each job’s quote, so you see margin as it moves.
One link
Quote, job progress and what’s left to pay. Your customer sees it all, so the “any update?” texts stop.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long does setup take?

Most companies are live in 2–3 days. We import your existing customers, invoices and finances from a CSV or Excel export. Anything that needs review, you see in a preview before we commit, with one-click rollback if anything looks wrong.

We already use Xero. Do we have to ditch it?

No. Many of our customers run CrewFlow alongside Xero. CrewFlow is the operations layer for quotes, jobs, hours and invoices, while Xero stays the accountant’s tool. Your numbers export cleanly to Xero and Sage when it’s time to file.

Does CrewFlow take card payments?

No. UK construction runs on bank transfer, so CrewFlow tracks payments rather than processing them. You keep 100% of every invoice. No card-processor skim, no gateway fee. Match your bank transactions to invoices and reconcile in one place.

My lads only have phones on site. Does that work?

Yes. The staff view is mobile-first in the browser, with big tap targets, clock-in, today’s rota and expected take-home pay. Built for someone standing in a van, not a CFO at a desk.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Daily automated backups with point-in-time recovery and storage redundancy across multiple zones. Built and hosted to UK standards, with your data kept secure.

What does it cost?

£500 a month, plus a one-time £1,000 for setup and onboarding, where we migrate your data and get you live. No per-seat fees and no surprises. Book a demo and we’ll show you the system on your own numbers first.

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. Full data export to CSV any time. No lock-in and no early-termination fees. Your data is yours; we just take care of it while you use us.
