Highlights

  • Intake to invoice tracked in one record
  • AI receptionist captures every missed call
  • Automated training & compliance reporting
  • Close the loop with instant card & bank payments

Why crews switch

Replace the spreadsheet + CRM + call-tracker stack.

Crew leaders tell us the hardest part is keeping engineers, schedulers, and finance aligned once you’ve got multiple vans on the road. Gaffer becomes the system of record and revenue so everyone works from the same timeline.

Legacy CRM

No field context, no SLAs, no payments. Needs five bolt-ons.

Spreadsheets + WhatsApp

Zero audit trail, data entry errors, hard to onboard new staff.

Call tracking only

Great recordings, but nothing ties back to jobs or cash collected.

With Gaffer

  • Single record of truth

    Calls, photos, quotes, invoices, training, signatures.

  • AI-assisted ops

    Summaries, action items, missed call capture, compliance nudges.

  • Cash faster

  • Launch-ready onboarding

    Templates, imports, and concierge support in 2 weeks.
