With SquidWeb, planners can request the same crew member across multiple projects — even when working times overlap. This provides maximum flexibility when planning complex schedules or reacting to last-minute changes.

Crew members are transparently informed through the mobile app and can clearly see all overlapping job requests. They can review each job, switch between requests, and actively decide which assignment to confirm or refuse.

This workflow ensures that changes, including time-critical scenarios such as Spare to Fix rebookings, are handled in a controlled and transparent way. Planners stay flexible, crew members stay in control, and double bookings are avoided through clear communication and active confirmation.

In order to have a clear overview of TODOs and stay on top of activities, this symbol is designed to help signal which projects have open TODO TODOs that are not completed. This also can be seen under Accountings, Payrolls, Invoices, Receipts, Quoates, Delivery Notes etc.

The symbol will disappear once the TODO TODO is completed.

Check out this quick video to show you how it works!

Overview

The wokflow of automating crew booking touches on several features such as: Find the best person container, Bulk options ( Add spare, Suggest crew, Change crew) and Robots ( Add spare robot, delete and assign spare robot).

Keep in mind the company role “Find Best Crew” should be assigned also!

 

Find the best Person

The Find the best person container calculates the eligibility of all crew members for a selected shift (or shifts) and lists them in order of priority for you to add to the project.

SquidWeb takes into consideration the crew members contracted hours, current amount worked hours (monthly) and their travel time to the job location to provide you with a list of names to add to your project.

Please notes methods are defined in Company settings.

 

Drag and drop crew members via shift tile view!

 

Bulk Actions

Add spare

A user can perform a quick bulk action by adding a spare with a specific function and insert a new position in an existing project. This process can be automated by adding a robot and making sure the robot action type is “PROJECT ADD SPARE”.

 

 

Suggest crew

A user can perform a bulk action on suggesting a crew members based on the input data. Unlike the Find the best person feature this option is a fully automated option meaning the Project crew items will be automatically changed based on the suggested crew.

 

Change crew

When crew members need to be changed from one project crew to another, the bulk action can enable a quick and easy chanbe by selecting the crew members and applying Bulk Action Change Crew.

 

Default spare robot – Add, delete and assign spare

 

There are 3 different robot automations that can be executed such as: adding spare positions to project robot, deleting empty spare positions and assigning crew members using the find the besr person method to assign crew members.

 

User Story

The mobile page “project vacancies” will show jobs (project crew items) for which crew members can apply.

 

Crew Member Vacancies Application via Mobile App

In order for the crew member to be able to apply they need to have an active contact, active ratecard or active contact contract (this can be done under company settings, see admin section below). Once the crew member wants to apply for a job on click they are redirected to Crew Details Page.

 

 

 

Planners

In order for crew members to be able to view the Project Vacancy page on SquidWeb Mobile App they need to be given permissions for Mobile Project Vacancies (read & apply) and Projects (Read). Then they will be able to view the page and apply to all open vacancies in project for which they have company permissions to.

 

Admin

Beforehand the planners need to make sure that the Vacancy Method is set in company settings so that their project with Confirmed or Confirmed and Quote status will be seen by crew members.

 

Once this is done the crew members are set and ready to apply. Once the request has been sent the project will display the crew member and the status will be changed to Crew Request and will be shown under Project and Planning Calendar. In paralel the planners will be notified with the help of the automated robot so that when the request is made by the crew member they can see the notification in the messenger channel and also via Today page -> TODO.
