How labor hire agencies use Texto
Real ways businesses like yours send texts every day.
Labor hire runs on speed. The agency that fills the shift first wins the client. SMS is the fastest way to reach your workforce because everyone reads a text. Emails get buried. Phone calls take forever when you've got 50 people to contact. With Texto you can blast out one message to your whole casual pool and get replies back in minutes.
Shift availability
Got a warehouse job starting at 6am tomorrow and you need 15 people? Text your available workers in one go with the location, time, and pay rate. They reply YES and you know who's coming. No more ringing around for an hour trying to fill spots.
Roster changes
Someone calls in sick at the last minute and you need a replacement before the shift starts. Send a quick text to your backup list with the details. First to reply gets the shift. You've filled the gap in five minutes instead of spending your morning on the phone.
Timesheet reminders
End of the week and half your crew hasn't submitted timesheets. Your payroll person is chasing you for numbers. One text to everyone who hasn't submitted sorts it out. Way faster than individual emails that nobody opens.
Site updates
Weather delay? Site closed? New safety requirement? Let everyone rostered on know before they drive 45 minutes to get there. Saves your workers a wasted trip and saves you the headache of people turning up to a closed site.
