Crew scheduling software / Australian trades

Crew scheduling that fits the work.

AxiomBlue’s crew scheduling software proposes who should do each trade job and when, using job duration, existing bookings, working hours and travel. On Professional, crew skills and approved leave also shape the plan. Review the assignments, warnings and unplaced work before you apply it.

Free and Basic schedule people individually. Professional adds crews, skills, leave and recurring job series. Free usage limits apply. Compare plans →

A day's work / Illustrative example

An installation, a service visit and a repair to fit in.

You have an installation needing a recorded skill, a service visit near an existing booking and a repair still waiting for a slot. On Professional, check crew skills and approved leave, enter realistic durations and confirm the job locations. Select the unassigned jobs and preview a plan around the work already booked. If you work alone, use individual scheduling to plan your own available time.

  1. 01

    Choose the work to place

    Select unassigned jobs. Check their duration, locations, priorities and dates; on Professional, record the skills the work requires.

  2. 02

    Set the planning constraints

    Choose whether to respect working hours and minimise travel. On Professional, enable skill matching and check the crew and leave records.

  3. 03

    Inspect the proposed day

    Review who is assigned, start and finish times, available travel estimates and warnings. Check any unplaced jobs and their reasons.

  4. 04

    Apply the plan you have reviewed

    Apply the proposed schedule when it fits. Revisit the preview if availability has changed, and confirm arrangements with the people affected.

The decisions behind the proposal

A suitable crew. Enough time. A workable run.

A job needs more than an empty slot. Assisted scheduling uses the work and availability you have recorded to propose assignments. Choose the scheduling constraints, then check the result against what you know about the day.

Job requirements and crew skills
On Professional, skill matching compares the job’s required skills and proficiency with recorded crew skills. Keep those records current; the schedule does not independently verify licences or qualifications.
Availability and enough time
Job duration, existing bookings and working hours shape the available slots. Professional crew planning also checks members’ approved leave and their shared working window, including work spanning several days.
Travel between jobs
Enable travel minimisation to consider travel from relevant locations alongside the work already booked. Estimates depend on location and travel data; missing travel information is shown in the preview.
Priority, deadlines and warnings
Priority and deadlines help order the work. Review deadline and long-travel warnings before committing; a proposed assignment is not a guarantee that every deadline will be met.

You decide what goes on the schedule.

Review the proposed people, times and travel alongside warnings and any jobs it could not place. Apply the proposed schedule when it fits. Review a fresh proposal if the day or availability changes.

Use day, week and month views to check the wider plan. You can also assign and change jobs yourself.

When the day changes

Rain, leave or a delayed job? Rework the affected day.

Open Reschedule Entire Day, choose the affected date and propose a specific new day or the next available date. Choose whether to keep the original crew where possible and exclude weekends.

For a rain delay, filter to jobs you have marked as weather-sensitive. Preview the affected work, apply the change and check the actual result. The reschedule result includes an undo option.

Confirm revised arrangements with affected customers and the team. Scheduling alone does not send customer messages; automated email or SMS updates need a configured Professional workflow, with SMS credits purchased separately.

From your own diary to several crews

Schedule the way your business works.

Free and Basic: plan individual people

Use the job calendar and assisted scheduling to plan your own work or assign people individually. Review job duration, existing bookings, working hours and travel in the proposed schedule.

Free has usage limits. Basic suits businesses that need more capacity and uploads.

Professional: coordinate crews and repeat work

Manage crew membership, record skills and approve leave. Use those records in scheduling, and bring recurring service visits into the plan alongside one-off work.

For work spanning several days, scheduling checks the crew's availability across the job's duration. Keep visit changes connected to the recurring job series.

Your scheduling questions.

Want to discuss your crew or service round? Talk it through with us.

Can a sole trader use assisted scheduling?

Yes. Free and Basic schedule people individually, so you can plan your own jobs without setting up crews. Free usage limits apply. Crew management, skills, leave and recurring job series require Professional.

What does crew scheduling consider?

It uses recorded job duration, existing bookings, working hours and travel data. On Professional, crew skills and approved leave also inform assignments. Choose the constraints and review the proposal, warnings and unplaced jobs before applying it.

Does Auto Schedule keep moving jobs by itself?

No. Auto Schedule creates a proposal for you to review and apply. Review a fresh proposal if the day or availability changes. It does not keep reallocating work unattended.

Can I move a day’s work after rain?

Yes. Reschedule Entire Day lets you preview moving eligible work to a specific day or the next available date. You can filter to jobs already marked weather-sensitive, prefer the original crew and exclude weekends. Check the actual result after applying; the result includes an undo option.

Can I schedule recurring services?

Yes, on Professional. Recurring job series create individual visits that sit alongside one-off work. Check the affected visit and billing agreement when moving or skipping work.

Can the field team see the jobs on a phone?

AxiomBlue has iOS and Android apps alongside the web portal. Core job details and field actions work offline in the native apps; pending changes sync after the app reconnects. Confirm revised arrangements when connectivity returns.
