THE RIGHT PEOPLE, EVERY TIME

Everyone, one crew, one site or one worker.

Put your people into groups once: by crew, by job site, by trade or by who works weekends. Then text exactly the people who need it. Nobody else gets pinged.

EVERYONE#all

Office closed Friday. Checks go out Thursday.

Replies come back only to you.

No group chat, no reply-all. When someone answers, it lands on your phone, in your email or in your SMSGO inbox. Answer one person with @Name and they get your reply as a text.

  • Workers never see each other’s numbers or replies.
  • Works on any phone that gets texts, even a basic flip phone.

FROM THE TRUCK, THE ROOF OR THE YARD

No laptop. Just text SMSGO.

Text a command from the phone on your account. SMSGO tells you how many people will get it and what it costs, and nothing goes out until you reply YES.

  • Everyone#all Heat warning today. Water breaks every hour.
  • One crew#PaintCrew Second coat starts Monday, not Saturday.
  • One site#ElmStreet Dumpster swap at noon. Don’t block the drive.
  • Crew leads#Leads Timesheets due Friday by 3.
  • One worker@Luis Bring the big ladder tomorrow.

Picked the wrong crew? Just don’t reply YES, and nothing is sent. The same commands work from your email.

Answer the same questions automatically.

Set up text-back answers once. A worker texts a word and gets the answer right away, even while you’re on a ladder.

CREW LEADS AND FOREMEN

Let each crew lead text their own crew.

Add your foremen as coordinators. Each one signs in on their own phone, without your password, and can only text the crew you gave them.

📱

From their own phone

A crew lead signs in on their phone with a code we text them, then sends to their crew. No laptop on the job.

🔒

Only their crew

You choose what each person can do. A coordinator limited to one crew can’t text the rest of the company.

👀

You see who sent what

Every message shows who sent it, so the office always knows what went out and to whom.

WHO’S COMING?

Ask who can work Saturday. Get a count.

Create an event for the extra shift or the big pour, and set how many people you need. Workers reply YES or NO. SMSGO keeps the count and tells everyone when you have enough.

  • YESThey’re in. In Spanish, SÍ works too.
  • NOCan’t make it. Their spot opens up.
  • STATUSAnyone can check the count.
  • WaitlistExtra YESes wait and move in automatically.
Your job. Your words.
THE ASK

THE YES REPLY

You’re on for Saturday. 5 of 6 so far.

WHEN YOU HAVE ENOUGH

We have 6 for Saturday. See you at 6 AM. Bring lunch.

or Overtime crew is set. Thanks, everyone.

SMSGO sends your “we have enough” message automatically.

EN ESPAÑOL

Your crew speaks Spanish? So does SMSGO.

Set your group’s language to Español and the texts SMSGO sends for you, like the welcome, the confirmations and the count, go out in Spanish. Your own messages go out exactly as you write them.

RUNNING THE CREW IN A WHATSAPP GROUP?

Group chats bury the important stuff.

In a busy group chat, “start at 9 tomorrow” scrolls away between jokes and side threads, and anyone without the app never sees it. SMSGO sends each person a direct text, and replies come only to you.

  • Everyone gets it, app or no app.
  • Only the right crew gets pinged.
  • A real count of who’s coming.

QUESTIONS

Contractors ask us.

Do my workers need an app?

No. They get a normal text, or an email if they prefer, and reply the same way. It works on any phone that gets texts, including basic flip phones.

Can I text just one crew or one job site?

Yes. Put people into groups by crew, job site or trade. Then text #CrewName with your message from your phone, or pick the group on the web. Only that group gets it.

Can my foremen send messages?

Yes. Add them as co-admins or coordinators. They sign in on their own phone, without your password. A coordinator sees and texts only the crew you choose. A co-admin with sending turned on can also text commands like #RoofingCrew from their phone. You see who sent every message.

Does it work in Spanish?

Yes. Set your group’s language to Español, and your Join page and the texts SMSGO sends for you, like the welcome, confirmations and counts, go out in Spanish. Workers can reply SÍ, ESTADO or ALTO. Your own messages go out exactly as you write them.

Can workers see each other’s numbers?

No. Each person gets a direct text, and replies come only to you. Nobody sees anyone else’s number or reply.

What does it cost?

Pay as you go: $0.03 per text segment, $0.003 per email and $0.04 per photo text, with $5 to start and no monthly plan. Texting a crew of 9 a one-segment message costs $0.27, and you see the cost before it sends.

How do workers stop getting texts?

Replying STOP, or ALTO in Spanish, opts them out of texts from the number they reply to. LEAVE, or SALIR, removes someone from just your group.

Can I send a photo of the plans or the site?

Yes. Attach a photo for $0.04 per text. Workers who get email see it in their email.
