For coordinators who run it all alone

No Office. No Staff.
Just You, Your Guys,
and Too Many
WhatsApp Threads.

You're running multiple jobs across multiple sites with a handful of subs — and every update, every blocker, every materials request lives somewhere in your phone. Backbone Ops reads those messages automatically and turns them into real job visibility. Nothing changes for your guys. Everything changes for you.

Get in touch

Running it alone looks like this
Every morning

You text your guys to confirm they're on site. Half of them don't respond until you follow up. Your whole day starts waiting on people you can't control.

All day

You're the only one who knows what's happening across every job. That knowledge lives in your head and your phone — nowhere else. One missed message and you're blind.

When the client calls

Your property manager wants a status update. You buy yourself 30 seconds while you scroll three threads trying to remember what actually happened at that unit yesterday.

Every tool you've tried

Built for businesses with crews, schedules, and payroll. Your guys aren't employees — they won't download an app, won't clock in, and won't change how they work. So nothing sticks.

Why everything else misses

Every other tool
wants to manage
your guys.

Job costing apps, crew schedulers, field service platforms — they're all built for a business owner who manages their team directly. Timesheets, clock-ins, shift scheduling, payroll. That's a different operation entirely.

Your guys work for themselves. You coordinate outcomes — you don't manage their day. The only consistent signal you get from them is a WhatsApp message when something happens.

Backbone Ops is the first platform built around that reality. AI reads every message your guys send, figures out which job it belongs to, and gives you a live picture of every site — without asking anything of them.

How it actually works
The owner view — dashboard

Every morning, this is what's waiting. No calls made. No texts sent. Everything your guys sent — structured, prioritized, and ready to act on.

Under the hood
01
Your guys text you

Photo, update, materials request, blocker — whatever they normally send on WhatsApp. No new app. No change to how they work.

02
AI reads it

Every message is parsed automatically — matched to the right job, status extracted, materials flagged, blockers identified. No codes required.

03
Your board updates

Every site, every status, every flag — live. If a guy goes quiet, an automatic follow-up goes out so you don't have to chase.

04
You stay in control

Daily summary drafted every afternoon. AI does the reading — you make all the calls. Nothing goes to your client without your approval.

What you get
01
Live Job Board

Every job across every site — status, last update, which guy is on it, and any flags. Built from the messages your guys are already sending. No data entry from anyone.

02
Automatic Follow-Up

When a guy goes quiet mid-job, Backbone Ops sends a follow-up automatically. You find out about problems before your client does — not after.

03
AI Completion Check

Before a job hits Ready for Review, AI cross-checks the update history against the original scope. You don't read everything — you approve what's actually done.

04
Daily Summary

Every afternoon, AI drafts a digest of everything that happened across every site. Use it to answer your client's next call before it comes.

05
Materials Tracking

Materials requests from your guys are captured automatically — structured, logged, and flagged. No more rebuilding the list from three different texts.

06
Morning Briefing

Start the day with a WhatsApp digest across every job. Each guy gets their assignment automatically — no individual texts required.

This is for you if
  • You coordinate jobs through guys who work for themselves
  • You're the only person running the operation
  • Your guys communicate over WhatsApp or SMS
  • You manage work across multiple properties or sites
  • You report into a property manager or anchor client
  • Your whole business runs from your phone
This is not for you if
  • You have a team of direct employees you manage
  • You need scheduling, timesheets, or payroll tools
  • You can require your crew to use a specific app
  • You're looking for estimating or invoicing software
  • You need your guys to log in to anything
Running jobs through
your guys alone?

That's exactly who we built this for. Backbone Ops is boutique — we work with a small number of coordinators and set each one up personally. If this sounds like your operation, reach out and we'll talk through whether it's a fit.
