Anvil / Crew scheduling
Landscaping crew scheduling with a clear plan for the day
Putting a job on the calendar is only part of planning the day. Anvil brings crew schedules, site visits, deliveries, and job details into the same operating picture so the office can prepare the field handoff.

THE WORKFLOW
Plan around what the job actually needs.
Review the work ahead.
Start with the job, property, scope, and timing. Consider site visits, delivery needs, and the people involved.
Check the dependencies.
Review crew assignments alongside vehicles, equipment, materials, and site instructions before treating a job as ready.
Make the handoff useful.
Keep the address, work scope, access notes, and pickup context connected so crews can understand the plan before leaving.
Give the field the context behind the date.
A landscaping schedule needs to account for more than availability. The right truck, a confirmed plant order, or a customer’s access instructions can determine whether the crew is ready. Anvil keeps those details alongside the work for a clearer office-to-field handoff.
Use a recent installation as the walkthrough example. Identify the crew, the materials to collect, and any unresolved site questions. Review how schedule changes should reach your team and confirm calendar permissions and communication channels during setup.

Plan landscape crews around job readiness
A free slot on the calendar does not mean an installation is ready. Put the people, property, materials, and approvals through the same planning check.
Separate recurring visits from installations
A maintenance visit and a multi-day planting job have different dependencies. Review the visit window, expected duration, crew requirements, and the work that must be finished first.
Check loadout before confirming the day
Verify plant availability, pickup instructions, equipment assignments, and site access. Keep unresolved items visible, with a responsible person and a decision time.
Make weather changes a controlled handoff
When the plan changes, review affected crews, customer commitments, pickups, and equipment reservations together. Confirm the communication channel and who acknowledges the revised plan.
What to bring to your walkthrough
Bring a sample week with one installation and one recurring visit. We will review the records, calendar connections, responsibilities, and change notifications your company needs. Routing optimization and payroll requirements should be scoped separately.

BEFORE YOU GET STARTED
Crew scheduling questions
Is crew scheduling the same as route optimization?
No. Planning assignments and job readiness is different from calculating an optimized driving route. Discuss routing needs separately; this page does not promise automatic route optimization.
Can we connect a calendar?
Anvil includes calendar connection workflows. The selected account, permissions, and supported scheduling actions must be confirmed for your setup.
Will crews automatically receive every change?
Notification behavior depends on the channels and workflow configured for your company. Agree on who receives each change and test that handoff before relying on it.
