Me Plus One or Two

Sound like you?

You've got an apprentice, labourer, or part-timer helping out. The work's picking up but you're spending too much time figuring out who's supposed to be where tomorrow.

Your Day

Monday morning, your apprentice texts: 'Where am I going today?' You're already on site and can't remember which job you put him on. With A.X.E.L, he just checks his phone — his calendar shows exactly where he needs to be, what tools to bring, and the customer's contact details. No more morning phone tag.

A Day With A.X.E.L

See how A.X.E.L fits naturally into your routine — morning, midday, and evening.

Morning

7:15 AM: You're having your coffee while checking A.X.E.L. Jake (your apprentice) is doing the kitchen tap job at 9:30, you're handling the bathroom refit. Everything's assigned, everyone knows where they're going. Jake texts 'Cheers, see the job details' instead of the usual 'where am I today?' You've bought yourself 30 minutes of peace and no more frantic phone calls.

Midday

1:20 PM: Customer calls asking to move Thursday's job. Instead of trying to remember who you've got where, you pull up A.X.E.L, see Jake's free Thursday afternoon, and move the job to him with two taps. Jake gets notified immediately, customer's happy, and you didn't have to stop what you were doing to figure out the schedule.

Evening

5:45 PM: Jake logs his hours in A.X.E.L — 3 hours on the kitchen job, 2 hours helping you with the bathroom. You can see exactly what work happened, how long each job actually took, and whether you're pricing things right. No more guessing at timesheets, no more 'did we spend all day on that small job?' conversations.

Features That Matter To You

These features are designed specifically for businesses like yours.

Team Calendars

Everyone sees their schedule. Assign jobs to specific team members and they get automatic updates.

Your apprentice checks their phone instead of texting you every morning. They see their jobs, the addresses, and what's expected. You spend less time explaining schedules and more time actually working.

Job Assignment

Drag jobs between team members. They get notified instantly about schedule changes.

When jobs move (and they always do), everyone knows immediately. No more playing telephone tag to reschedule people, no more showing up to jobs that got moved without you knowing.

Google Calendar Sync

Team calendars sync with personal Google Calendars. Everyone stays in the loop automatically.

Jake's A.X.E.L jobs appear in his personal calendar alongside his girlfriend's birthday and the football match. One calendar, everything in one place, no excuses for 'I didn't know about that job.'

Basic Timesheets

Track who worked on what job. Simple time logging for payroll and job costing.

Friday payroll becomes simple: A.X.E.L shows exactly what Jake worked on and for how long. No more guessing at hours, no more arguments about overtime, and you can finally see if that big job actually made money.

What Changes

Here's how your workflow gets easier when A.X.E.L becomes part of your routine.

How it works now

Every morning starts with 'where am I going?' calls. Schedule changes mean calling everyone individually. You're not sure if jobs are profitable because tracking who worked what hours is a nightmare.

How it works with A.X.E.L

Everyone knows their schedule without asking. Changes get pushed out instantly to the right people. You can see real costs per job and figure out what's actually making money versus what just feels busy.

Real Example

A realistic scenario showing how A.X.E.L works in practice.

TomelectricianBristol

Tom's got Callum (apprentice) and Big Steve (his mate who helps out Wednesdays). Thursday morning, customer needs to move the Friday job to Wednesday. Tom opens A.X.E.L, sees Steve's available Wednesday afternoon, drags the job over. Steve gets the notification, customer gets a text saying 'Steve will be there Wednesday 2 PM instead.' Done in 30 seconds. Old way: Tom calls Steve, Steve's on a roof, calls back an hour later, customer's already annoyed. New way: everyone's informed before Tom's finished his tea.

Getting Started

A.X.E.L is designed to be easy to adopt — no big changes, no steep learning curves.

Add your team members to A.X.E.L (just their phone numbers). Assign one job to each person and let them see it on their phones. They'll quickly get used to checking their schedule instead of asking you. Start small — one week of jobs assigned properly shows the difference.
