About Next Layer Works

What it doesWho it’s forPrice

See the whole week on one board.

Set up each customer’s visits once and Works keeps them coming. One-time jobs go on the same board.

The week board in Next Layer Works on a phone: one day’s visits, each with its time, its customer, the work, the crew it is given to, and whether it is done.

Crews mark jobs done from their phone.

Each worker sees their own visits for the day and taps Done or Skip. There’s nothing to install.

Finished work turns into invoices.

You approve each one and send it by email. Record cash, check, Zelle or Venmo, and see who still owes you.

The Past due list in Next Layer Works on a phone: each unpaid invoice with its customer, its due date, how late it is, the amount still owed and a Send reminder button.

Worker pay, added up for you.

By the hour, per finished job, or a set amount each pay period. Works doesn’t run payroll or move money.

What it does

Three parts of the same work. Pick one to see it.

See the whole week on one board.

Set up each customer’s visits once: every week, every two weeks, once a month, or every so many days. Works puts them on the week board and keeps them coming. One-time jobs go on the same board.

Give each visit to a crew or to one worker. On the day, they open their phone, see their own visits, and tap Done or Skip. If rain kept them away, they say so, and you see it on the board.

Workers use the web browser on their phone, with nothing to install. Apps for iPhone and Android are coming soon.

The week board in Next Layer Works: the days of one week, each with its visits, who each visit is given to, and which are done. — Example: a week at Birch Hollow Property Care, a business we made up for these pictures.

Finished work turns into invoices.

Works turns finished work into charges at each customer’s price. When you’re ready to bill, it drafts the invoices. You look them over, approve them, and send them by email with a PDF attached.

When a customer pays by cash, check, Zelle, Venmo or bank transfer, you record it and the balance updates. The Past due list shows who still owes you.

Reminders can go out on their own. Turn on automatic sending, and Works emails a reminder on the due date and again every few days until the invoice is paid. Late fees are there if you use them, and you approve each one.

The Past due list in Next Layer Works: each unpaid invoice with its customer, its due date, how late it is and the amount still owed. — Example: the Past due list, with what each customer still owes and how late it is.

Worker pay, added up for you.

Tell Works how each person is paid: by the hour, per finished job, or a set amount each pay period. As visits get done, it adds up what each worker earned. You review the total, approve it, and note when you paid.

Works keeps the count. You pay your people the way you already do. It doesn’t run payroll or move money.

Charge the way you already do.

Set each customer’s price once. Works does the adding up every time you bill.

Per visit: A set price each time the work is done. A lawn mowed, a house cleaned, a pool serviced.
By the hour: Hours worked, times your rate. Handyman jobs, cleanups, anything you can’t price ahead.
A fixed amount each month: The same bill every month, however many visits it took. Office cleaning, year-round property upkeep.
A season in equal payments: One price for the season, split into payments on dates you set. A winter of snow removal, a summer of lawn care.
One-time jobs and extras: Send a quote, add the job, and bill it with everything else. A spring cleanup, a move-out clean, an extra the customer asked for.

Also in the plan.

Reports: Money in, what you billed, what is still owed and how late, work done, and worker earnings. Each table downloads as a spreadsheet file.
Your own sign-up page: New customers fill in their details and sign your agreement online. Each one comes to you as a request.
Spreadsheets in and out: Bring your customer list in from a spreadsheet saved from Excel or Google Sheets, and check it before anything is added. Take work lists out the same way.
Many customers at once: After a storm or a snowfall, add a visit for a whole list of customers in one step.
Quotes, statements and receipts: Write a quote and share it as a private link. Email a statement of what a customer owes, or a receipt for a payment.
Activity log: Who did what, and when. Fixing a mistake adds a new entry and keeps the old one.

Coming soon: card payments through your own Stripe account (Stripe’s usual card fees apply), text messages, and apps for iPhone and Android.

One plan. Everything included.

One price for your whole business, however many workers and customers you have. Works is by invitation for now. Once you’re set up, the first 30 days are free, with no card.
