Automation
is a dirty
word.

So is doing it by hand. CrewDriver runs the call-out by SMS — one offer at a time, in your order, with a full audit trail. No app, no portal, no password.

How it works

You set the rules.
We send the texts.

01

Create the shift

Date, time, role, rate. CrewDriver already knows your roster, your seniority list, and your rules.

02

Targeted offers go out

One worker at a time, in your priority order. Not a blast to 40 people. A methodical, compliant call-out.

03

Workers reply by text

YES or NO. No app. No portal. No password. Every reply logged automatically with a timestamp.

04

Crew confirmed

Shift is filled. Full audit trail. No Sunday on the phone. You only pay for confirmed placements.

Our design decisions

Built around protecting the worker.

Dispatch automation has a bad reputation because most tools treat crew like inventory. CrewDriver was designed with the opposite philosophy — workers confirm themselves, no one is force-placed, and the seniority rules protect the relationships you've built.

Workers Confirm themselves. No forced placement. Every YES is their own choice.
Seniority Enforced automatically. One mistake doesn't become a grievance.
Midnight Texts go out in your configured hours. No one gets a call at 2am.
Record Every offer, every decline, every confirmation. Timestamped. Searchable.
Cost $3 per confirmed placement. Pay for what gets booked, nothing else.
"Rogers Arena has been running on CrewDriver for five years and over 100,000 shifts. It's not a system we're evaluating — it's how dispatch works."

Rogers Arena, Vancouver — IATSE 118 dispatch partner

Your crew.
Your rules.
Your relationships.

Labour Coordinator

Lucy

CrewDriver handles the phone tree so you can handle the relationships. The part of dispatch that needs a human — that's still yours. The part that doesn't is automated.

Production Manager

Pam

Shifts covered, record kept, questions answerable. CrewDriver logs every offer and confirmation so when something comes up later, you have a defensible answer in 30 seconds.

Owner / Operator

Tina

You built your crew relationships carefully. CrewDriver doesn't replace that — it handles the part that was grinding you down. One text, one worker, one confirmed shift at a time.
