The problem

Scheduling shouldn't take hours.

Most teams still cobble schedules together across five tools. It's slow, fragile, and easy to break.

Manual Planning

Dragging names into spreadsheets wastes valuable time.

Constant Changes

One absence creates a chain reaction of edits.

Spreadsheet Chaos

PDFs, Excel sheets, emails, and calendars become impossible to manage.

The solution

KrewNow automates the entire scheduling workflow.

From messy inputs to a published schedule — with your team, on your terms.

Step 1

Create Your Roster

Build your workforce with availability, roles, skills, and preferences.

  • Availability windows
  • Skills & certifications
  • Role preferences
Step 2

Import Existing Schedules

Upload PDF or Excel files. KrewNow analyzes them automatically and extracts every detail.

  • Dates & times
  • Locations & roles
  • Shift requirements
Step 3

Optimize Assignments

Automatically fill schedules while respecting the constraints that actually matter.

  • Availability & skills
  • Workload balance
  • Zero shift conflicts
Step 4

Lock & Publish

Once you're satisfied, lock schedules to prevent accidental edits and share with your team.

  • Change history
  • Team notifications
