Why standalone scheduling apps fall out of sync
A dedicated scheduling app is easy to set up — and easy to let drift from reality. The usual failure mode:
- A bid changes scope after the client requests revisions, but the schedule built weeks earlier isn't updated
- Crew hours logged in the field don't automatically flow to payroll, so someone re-enters them by hand
- Multiple active projects compete for the same crew, with no single view of who's free when
- Subcontractor availability isn't visible next to your own crew's calendar
The fix isn't a better standalone scheduler — it's removing the gap between scheduling, the bid that created the project, and the payroll that pays the crew.

How SubmitX scheduling works
A won bid becomes a project
Scope, quantities and timeline from the accepted bid populate the project automatically — no re-typing the schedule from scratch.
Crews are assigned across active projects
A single calendar view shows every crew member across every active jobsite, so double-booking is visible before it happens.
The field updates in real time
Crews see their schedule and log hours from the mobile app; GPS confirms they're on the right jobsite.
Hours flow straight to CCQ payroll
Logged time becomes payroll input automatically — no separate spreadsheet between the schedule and the pay run.
💡 Example: a general contractor running several concurrent projects can replace part of the weekly crew-allocation meeting with SubmitX's shared calendar view.
Pricing
Scheduling is included in every SubmitX plan (pricing on request) — no separate scheduling module to buy. Free 7-day trial, no credit card required.
