Why Crewinx exists
I'm Ben Robinson. I run SA Construct in Pretoria, and I built Crewinx because I was the one getting Friday wrong.
A man works six days. Somewhere between the paper roll call, the rate in my head and the spreadsheet on Friday afternoon, he gets paid for five. Then he's phoning me on Saturday — and he's right to. I lost too many weekends to wages that should have been simple.
The tools I could find were built for accountants and office managers, not for someone standing on a site with dirty hands and a truck to offload. So I built the thing I actually needed: roll call from the phone, rates that don't get lost, wages worked out before Friday.
It's built around the three things that cause the most trouble when you run construction labour in South Africa — roll call, wages, and subcontractors. Nothing an office needs. What a site manager needs, on site.
I built it and I use it. My own company runs on it every week — 15 sites, 58 workers. It works the way it does because it has to work for me first.
