iPhone, iPad, Android, and any browser

Built for the truck, not just the office

Tailgate works on any device: a phone, a tablet, or a computer. Your crew clocks in, checks the next step, and messages the office from the job site. There are apps for iPhone, iPad, and Android too.

Customer portal

Your customers get their own front door

Each business gets a portal with its name and colours, at its own address. Customers sign in to follow their jobs, open files you've shared, and message you.

Your team

Four simple roles

Give each person the access their job needs. Team members see only their own time and records.

  • Add crew who never sign in, and invite them later
  • Two-step sign-in with an authenticator app, a text, or an email
Your Team: Dev Patel and Rosa Ramirez as team members without email, Alex Admin, and Wes Worker
AdminEverything, including people, pay rates, payroll, and settings.
ManagerRuns the day: jobs, schedule, customers, sales, and timesheet approvals.
Read-onlySees everything and changes nothing. Good for a bookkeeper.
Team memberClocks in, sees the schedule and job steps, and only their own records.

Security

Your business data stays your business

One business can never see another's records: the database itself keeps them apart. Two-step sign-in, passkeys, and an audit log of every change come as standard.
