Assign Whole Crews to a Single Job

Multiple technicians on one job, each with their own role — perfect for installs, restorations, and big-ticket service.

Overview

What It Does

Big jobs need crews, not solo techs. SalesButler's Multi-Tech Crews let you assign multiple technicians to a single dispatch job, each with their own role (lead, helper, apprentice, etc.). Every assigned tech sees the job in their portal, time tracks correctly per assignment, and the dispatch board shows the full crew at a glance.
