📘 What Is the Crews Tab?
The Crews Tab in CrewHero is your internal database of repeatable team structures.
It’s where you can:
- Create preset crews with clear names
- Assign them to divisions
- Designate whether they are Frontline or Admin teams
- Use icons and naming conventions to keep everything clear during dispatch
Pro Tip: This setup saves time every single morning. No more typing the same crew names from scratch — just assign them to the day.
🔧 How to Use It
- Click the Crews tab in the left-hand menu
- Click “Add Crew”
- Give your crew a name — be as specific or general as needed
- Assign it to a Division
- Choose Crew Type: Frontline or Admin
- Click Save — that’s it!
You can also:
- Use icons or initials in the crew name (for visual sorting)
- Filter crews by division
- Edit or update crews seasonally or as your org evolves
🔄 Fully Customizable for Your Operation
Every company is different — CrewHero lets you organize your way.
Examples of Common Crew Names:
Mowing 1
Hardscape 2
Irrigation Service
Irrigation Install
Fleet Bay 1
Snow | Loader Crew
Admin | Office Staff
Project Management | Irr/Turf
Best Practice: Use clear, readable names and keep them consistent across seasons. Your dispatchers (and crew members) will thank you.
🧠 Why It Matters
Having a strong crew database means:
- ✅ Faster dispatching every day
- ✅ Clearer internal communication about who’s working and where
- ✅ Seasonal flexibility (easily create snow crews, summer crews, etc.)
- ✅ Increased visibility into who’s active, who’s not, and what teams are available
📈 Crew-Level Visibility
Once assigned, crews show up in Dispatch with their name, team members, and asset assignments.
This means:
- Managers can quickly see who is scheduled
- Crew Leaders can recognize their teams
- Employees are less confused or misassigned
- Divisions stay organized and structured
Cultural Bonus: Naming crews clearly gives a sense of identity and structure to your frontline — they know where they belong and what’s expected.
