Take control of your schedule: 5 tools to communicate smarter with your team

We’ve all been there: endless WhatsApp group chats, emails buried in your inbox, and last-minute updates that no one catches. The result? Chaos, frustration—and a lot of wasted time.

But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be that way.

With these 5 smart tools in CrewPlanner, you stay in control and keep communication clear. It’s time to plan like a pro.

1. Team App: workforce planning in your pocket

Want to have your schedule with you at all times, right in your pocket? And no, we’re not talking about a printed Excel file—but a handy app for your team. CrewPlanner is your digital right hand. Through the app, employees can easily submit their availability, sign contracts digitally, and clock in with just a tap.

Workforce planning on-the-go, with smoother processes and less confusion.

2. Calendar view: instantly see what you need

Need a clear visual of the entire schedule? With the intuitive calendar view, you’ll instantly see who’s available, where, and when. You can easily spot open shifts and assign the right people. No more blind spots in your planning.

3. Push notifications: fill open shifts fast

Last-minute shift to fill? Don’t panic. With CrewPlanner, you can send a (push) message to the right employees. They’ll get an instant notification and can respond directly. As soon as someone replies, you’ll be notified—and with one click, they’re added to the schedule. No phone calls, no WhatsApp threads—just fast, simple scheduling.

4. iCal Integration: always in sync with your calendar

Sync your CrewPlanner schedule with your personal calendar using iCal. That way, you’re always up-to-date—anytime, anywhere, on any device. Whether you're at your desk or on the go.

5. Built-in Chat: keep work communication in one place

No more mixing work messages in your personal WhatsApp or losing important updates in your inbox. Thanks to CrewPlanner’s chat feature, all communication stays neatly in one place. Quickly message your team, share updates, or discuss changes—without blending work and personal life. Organized, professional, and much easier on your mind.
