Like a set of building blocks, Harbor Watch components can be reconfigured, removed or rebranded to provide web-based scheduling and dispatch for any labor/logistics business.

What We Offer
Our dispatch software supports union, non-union members, employees or 1099 workers.
VIRTUAL HIRING HALL

Automated text messages sent to workers confirm all hiring transactions. Our SmartScheduler tracks up to 12 certifications against point-of-hire… with a two-second transaction time. Any number of certification fields can be allocated to COVID testing and/or tracking. The SmartScheduler sends 5 to 5000 text messages at a time. Our digital dispatch orders interface with any payroll system.
