Starting your service day

Open the app, glance at Today, start your first job. The whole routine takes about 30 seconds.

Mowzey is built for the phone in your truck. When you open the app in the morning, the Schedule lands on Today by default and groups every job by crew. You can see what's on the board, who's on what truck, and start your first stop without scrolling. This guide walks through the morning routine we recommend before you pull out of the shop.

Open Mowzey and land on Today

Tap the Mowzey icon on your phone. If you stay signed in (most crews do), you land straight on the Schedule. The Today tab is selected automatically. You'll also see tabs for Tomorrow, This Week, and Overdue along the top.

If you ever land somewhere else, the bottom nav has a Schedule button that brings you back. Today is always the default when you open Schedule fresh.

What each job card shows

Jobs are grouped under the crew that owns them. Each card on the Today tab is built to be readable at arm's length, with the stuff you need at a glance:

  • Status dot and colored border. Blue means scheduled, yellow means in progress, green means completed.
  • Scheduled time. The window the office gave the customer.
  • Customer name. Tap it to open the customer's full profile if you need notes or contact info.
  • Property address. Tap to open turn-by-turn directions in your phone's Maps app.
  • Services. Mow, edge, blow, fert, whatever was booked. Listed inline under the address.
  • Action button. Start on scheduled jobs, Complete on jobs already in progress.

Anything else (call, directions, edit, postpone, cancel) lives in the three-dot menu on the right side of the card so the primary action stays a single tap.

Start your first job

1
Find the first card on Today under your crew.
2
Tap Start. The card flips to in-progress (yellow border) and the action button changes to Complete.
3
Tap the address to open Maps for turn-by-turn directions.

Pro tip

Starting the job before you leave the shop tells the office you're rolling. They can see the in-progress status from their desk and stop calling to ask where you are.

The 30-second morning routine

Three quick checks before you pull out. Do these in this order and you won't get blindsided.

  1. Check Today. Count the cards under your crew. Make sure the number matches what you expected. If the office added a stop overnight, you'll see it here.
  2. Check Overdue. Tap the Overdue tab. Anything here is a job from a previous day that never got marked complete. Either knock it out today, postpone it forward, or call the office to sort it out.
  3. Scan for changes. If a card has new notes or a different time than you remember, that's the office telegraphing a change. Read the notes before you roll.

That's it. Three taps, thirty seconds, no surprises at the first stop.

Why the Overdue tab matters

Overdue is the catch-all for any job in scheduled or in-progress status whose date is in the past. The most common reasons something lands here:

  • Crew finished the work but forgot to tap Complete in the app.
  • Weather pushed the route and nobody postponed the leftover jobs.
  • A job got skipped on site and never logged.

Clear this tab as you find time. An empty Overdue tab means billing is accurate and the office trusts what Today says.

Switching to List view (office only)

Daily view (the default) is built for crews in the field. The List toggle at the top of the page swaps to a full table with search, status filters, and sorting. That's for the office to plan ahead or pull records.

If you're working a route, stay on Daily. List view is slower on a phone and hides the crew grouping that makes Today useful.
