Crewboss Beta Testing [What to Expect]

To all of you participating in our Beta Release, I’d first like to say thank you! Below is a guideline of what to expect as you explore Crewboss. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to email us by visiting this page.

What’s New?

In one word: Everything!

We’re proud to introduce you to CrewBoss – your application in the cloud that helps you plan and coordinate your construction jobs and tasks.

This is the first publicly facing release, albeit in beta mode. It is the common way to tell you that we’re allowing a few important users to experience the service, and to get early feedback before we go into real production.

The team behind CrewBoss has worked hard to provide you with a service that works well. Although when we are in beta mode there are two things that are important:
1. Quick feedback from the users.
2. Quick reaction to the feedback from the development team.

If you encounter features that do not work well for you, or things you think can be improved – please speak up.
