Run the day

Track every job from lead to complete, in full

Gaffer's job lifecycle moves work cleanly from lead → scheduled → in progress → complete. Notes, photos, quotes, invoices, messages and payments all live on a single timeline, so nothing slips through the cracks and nothing gets lost in the van.

Replaces a paper diary, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group. Every job has one owner, one time and one place to look. The office stops relaying messages and the engineer stops ringing in for the next address.

Why it matters

Create a job in seconds, drag it onto the right engineer, and watch it move from booked to on-site to done. The office sees everything; the van sees only what matters.

Owners stop being the human dispatch board. Engineers stop ringing in for the next address.

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps "On my way" and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Job lifecycle is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

Common questions

About job lifecycle

Something else? support@rungaffer.com

What does job lifecycle replace?

For most trade businesses, a paper diary, a whiteboard and a WhatsApp group. Every job has one owner, one time and one place to look. The office stops relaying messages and the engineer stops ringing in for the next address.

Does job lifecycle work on a phone, and offline?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.

Which plan is it on?

Every paid plan. Job lifecycle is included for unlimited users at no extra cost — the monthly, annual and lifetime plans differ only in how you pay.
