Crew is in Closed Alpha, and taking signups for beta testing.

Three jobs it takes off your desk

None of these are hard problems. They are just the ones that quietly eat a morning a week and cost you properly when they go wrong.

Time off requests
Easily request time off and approve it with your manager.
Absence tracking
Crew records each spell, and chases the return-to-work conversation.
Document management
Send out documents to your teams and keep track of who has read them.

Capabilities

What Crew does.

Crew is a HR management tool built for small teams that allow you to manage your team's time off, absence tracking, and document management.

01

Employee directory

One directory holding contracts, reporting lines, work pattern and history.

  • Job title, department, location, employment type and contracted hours
  • Start, probation end, and leaving dates
  • Search, department and status filters across the whole directory
02

Leave management

Leave types are configured to match how your company actually books time off. Your leave your rules.

  • Leave types with their own allowance
  • One or two stage approval, with delegation for when an approver is away
  • Balances with a full ledger: entitlement, carryover, adjustments and accrual
  • Notice periods, maximum advance, minimum and maximum duration, and backdating rules
  • Blackout periods and maximum-away caps
  • Per team calendars
03

Absence tracking

Unplanned absence is a different thing from booked leave

  • Open, closed and returned spells, categorised as sickness, injury, appointment, caring or other
  • Return-to-work tracking with reminders until it is done
  • Never have clashes between booked leave and recorded absence
04

Company policies

Need people to read your new policy? Send it out to the whole company and track its status.

  • Draft, publish and revise, with every published version kept
  • Assign to individuals or to everyone active
  • Read-and-understood acknowledgement recorded per person, per version
  • Deadlines for reading and acknowledging
  • An outstanding-acknowledgements report, so chasing is a list rather than a memory
05

Onboarding and offboarding

Templated tasks for everyone coming and going.

  • Tasks assigned to the employee or their manager, with due-dates
  • Runs started for employees, with simple tracking
  • Reeassign tasks whenever needed
  • A personal task list, and an org-wide admin lists
06

Access control

Granular access control based on reporting lines and organizational structure.

  • Manager access derived from the reporting line
  • Departments and locations as real records, with visual org charts
  • Public holiday calendars for any country you are located in
  • An activity log of who changed what, never miss an update

Questions people ask about Crew

Do I need to be an echoMike Operations customer?

No. Crew stands on its own, and most companies using it will never own a drone. If you run Operations as well, a link between the two is on the plan.

What size of company is it for?

Roughly twenty to a few hundred people, in any industry. The point where people admin is a real job but nobody has been hired to do it. Construction firms, agencies, professional services and field teams are all a good fit.

Can I use it now?

Not yet. Crew is in Closed Alpha. Join the beta and we will get in touch as it opens up.

What will it cost?

Pricing is not settled. There is nothing to pay during the beta, and we will give you plenty of notice before anything changes.

Does it send email reminders?

Not yet. Reminders and the daily digest land in the app today. Email delivery is the next thing we are building.

Does it do payroll?

No. Crew handles the people admin around payroll rather than running it, so you keep whatever you already use for pay.

Get in early and shape it.

We build against real companies rather than guessing. Tell us what your HR admin actually looks like and we will build for that.
