Free scheduling software for small service businesses.
A drag-to-schedule calendar, online booking that shows your real open times, reminders that go out on their own, and the day in order on every tech's phone. WorkBench FSM's scheduling is part of a free core plan, not a trial.
How it works
Book it, or let them
Put a job on the calendar from the phone, or let the client pick a real open time on your booking page or embedded form. Either way it lands with the address, the notes and who is taking it.
Move things without the phone calls
Drag a job to a new slot and the client is told automatically. The day view shows every stop in order, and the crew sees their own day on the phone app.
Reminders that go out on their own
A confirmation when it is booked, a reminder the day before and again an hour out, in your business's name. Fewer no-shows, no texting from the truck.
What's included
In Core, the free plan, unless marked with an add-on.
Scheduling & dispatch
Month, week, and day views with drag-to-schedule, time blocks, and per-tech filtering. The calendar is the command center, not a read-only report.
Online booking
An embeddable booking widget for your website that shows real availability. Jobs that need a look first go through an approval loop instead of landing straight on the calendar.
Automatic notifications
Booking confirmations, visit reminders the day before and an hour out, payment receipts — all sent from your business, all without anyone remembering to do it.
Recurring visit series
Weekly mows, quarterly filter changes, biweekly cleans — visit schedules generate real jobs weeks ahead that dispatchers can drag, reschedule, or skip one at a time.
Google Calendar sync
Each team member can connect their own Google Calendar: their WorkBench jobs and appointments show up in Google, and anything they're busy with in Google shows up here as blocked time so nobody books over it. Apple Calendar and Outlook get a private subscribe link.
Jobs with notes & photos
Every job carries its history: status, notes, and before/after photos from the field, so the office and the crew see the same thing.
Team chat
A company channel, direct messages, and group threads with push notifications — job details stop living in six different text conversations.
Roles & permissions
Owner, admin, sales, and tech roles out of the box, each seeing what they need and nothing they don't. 2 users are included free; more are $10 a month each, or unlimited with Pro.
Time tracking & timesheetsPro
Techs clock in and out right on the job, on every plan. With Pro, weekly timesheets roll up per person, managers can fix a forgotten clock-out, and logged hours flow into each job's profit margin as real labor cost.
From the field

“I used to juggle texts, a spreadsheet, and a separate card reader. Now a customer books online, I send the quote from my phone, and they pay the invoice from a link. One app instead of five.”
BrendanOwner, Excellent PC Building“Install season is a sprint. WorkBench keeps every house on the route in order, the crew knows exactly where to go, and deposits are in before we ever pull out a ladder.”
