How it works

Three things happen. None of them need you.

01

Your team texts

One word is enough. No app, no login, no explaining why. An instant confirmation comes back with a receipt number.
02

We ask the right people

Someone out leaves a spot to fill. Your schedule shows who's off today, who's under their hours, and who can do the job. Only those people are asked to take it.
03

First yes gets the shift

The shift closes the moment someone claims it. Everyone else hears it's filled, and you get one message: covered, and by who.
The other half

Every other tool tells you you're short.

We fill it, then tell you it's done.

Built for both sides

We never ask why.

Your HR and legal teams will have questions. Here are the answers, up front.

No reasons collected
There is no reason field. No medical information. Anything touching protected leave routes straight to your HR team and out of our system.
No individual scoring
We work at the site and shift level. We do not produce, store or expose any judgement about an individual employee.
Only what the job needs
A name, a number, a shift and a job code. No health information, no pay rates, no addresses, no location. We can't leak what we don't hold.
A record, not a verdict
We log what happened so you have a record, but we never turn it into a score, a ranking or a reliability rating. Attendance discipline stays in your HRIS, where it belongs.
Honestly

This doesn't work everywhere.

It works well when you have
  • Roughly 100 hourly workers or more at one location, with no upper limit. Most of our sites are distribution centers, warehouses and 3PLs, manufacturing and food production plants, healthcare support departments, or facilities and janitorial contracts
  • Absenteeism is high enough to hurt. A no-show costs you something real: a missed truck, an idle line, a delayed start
  • Call-outs still come in by phone and get sorted out from memory
  • You could adjust staffing if you knew early enough
It won't help much if
  • You run flat out with nobody to move and nowhere to move them from
  • Being short doesn't cost you anything you can point to

Krewfill is built for absence reporting and same-day shift coverage, not for scheduling or attendance discipline. We'd rather tell you in the first conversation than in month three.

Questions

The things people ask first.

What does it cost?

There are four plans, all priced per site rather than per worker.

  • Signal · $399 a month, any headcount. Your team texts, you find out.
  • Coverage · adds the automatic filling. $699 up to 500 workers, $999 up to 1,000, $1,599 up to 1,500, $1,999 up to 2,000. Bigger sites are quoted, and the per-worker cost keeps falling.
  • Autopilot · quoted. For operators running three or more sites.
  • Custom · quoted. For enterprise or regulated deployments.

Adding people to a site does not change your bill until you cross a band. A short call gets you an exact number.

Is there anything to install?

No. Your team texts a number. There is no app to download, no account to create, and no password to reset. It works on any phone, including older handsets and prepaid plans.

What do you need from us to start?

Your schedule. That is genuinely it. We map your columns to ours once during setup, so you can send the export you already produce rather than building a new one. If mobile numbers sit in a different system, send that too and we will match them up.

Do we have to replace our scheduling or payroll system?

No. We read your schedule and sit on top of whatever you already run, whether that is ADP, UKG, Paycom, or a spreadsheet. We do not write to your system of record, which is why IT rarely needs to be involved.

How do you know who is qualified for a shift?

From the schedule. It tells us who is off, who is already working, who is near their hours, and what job codes each person has worked recently. Where a site has hard certification requirements, we ask for a skills column so nobody gets offered a shift they are not cleared for.

What happens if nobody takes the shift?

The offer goes out again with premium pay, up to a ceiling you set during setup. You approve that limit once and we work inside it every morning. If it is still open after that, you get a message rather than a surprise.

Do you offer a free trial?

Yes. Sixty days, one site, no charge. We record where your fill rate and overtime sit before we start, then look at the same numbers with you at the end. If they do not make the case, you walk away.

Do employees have to agree to be texted?

Yes, and you tell them first. You give your team notice that absence reporting happens by text, using wording we supply. Before anyone gets a shift offer, they get one message explaining what it is and how to stop it. Reply STOP and that is permanent, even if their number appears on a later schedule you send us. We never send marketing messages to hourly workers.

How does the team find out about it?

We give you a poster for the break room, a paragraph for your handbook, and a short script for standup. If you would rather send it, we will also give you an email template and a voicemail script you can record. Use whichever channels actually reach your team.

The pitch that lands is the extra hours, not the call-outs, so most sites lead with that. Nobody has to sign up. Everyone on your schedule can be reached from day one, and the first message they get explains what it is and how to stop it.

Do you record why someone is out?

No, and there is no field to put it in. We do not ask, we do not parse it if someone volunteers it, and we do not score or rank individuals on attendance. That is a design commitment, not a gap we intend to fill later.

What if our schedule changes constantly?

Send it as often as it changes, or connect it and we will pull it. If a schedule goes stale we tell you, and past a certain point we stop sending offers rather than contacting people who have left or missing people who just joined.

We are a union site. Does this work?

Only if your agreement allows open shifts to go out to everyone at once. Today we offer on a first-come basis, and seniority-ordered offers are on the roadmap rather than in the product. If your contract requires them, we are not the right fit yet, and we would rather say so now than in month three.

Your numbers

What would covering them be worth?

Move the sliders to your operation. If it does not add up, we would rather you saw that here.

An estimate, not a quote. Real results vary by site. Above 2,000 workers the Krewfill figure is indicative and we would price it properly on a call. Assumes 250 operating days, 8-hour shifts, half of absences leaving a spot that needs covering, and roughly 30% of those going unfilled today. Every one of these is arguable, so bring your own figures to the call and we will run it your way.
