What Connecteam is
Connecteam is a mobile-first workforce management platform built for deskless and field-service teams: scheduling, GPS time clock, task management, forms, internal chat, and HR tools in one app. Pricing is structured around three separate hubs (Operations, Communications, HR), each starting free for teams under 10 or at $29/mo annual for the first 30 users. Cleaning companies, contractors, healthcare aides, landscapers, and field-service SMBs use it as the operational backbone — replacing group texts, paper timesheets, and verbal shift handoffs.
Key features
- Drag-and-drop job scheduling with real-time dispatch and shift notifications sent to employee phones
- GPS time clock with geofencing — employees clock in only on-site, eliminating time fraud on field jobs
- Customizable forms and checklists for daily reports, site inspections, incident logs, and client sign-offs
- Internal chat, company updates, and announcements — replaces group texts for distributed deskless teams
- HR hub: digital onboarding, training courses, document management, and employee recognition
- Free forever for teams under 10 — the lowest-barrier entry point in the workforce management category
💰 Sell it as a service
The offer
Set up and manage Connecteam as a done-for-you workforce operations system for field-service SMB clients (cleaning, landscaping, HVAC, healthcare, construction) — configure scheduling templates, GPS time-clock rules, and daily reporting forms per their niche.
What to charge
$1,000–$2,000 setup + $300–$500/mo management retainer. Connecteam's free plan means zero tool cost for clients under 10 employees — pitch it as a no-risk trial before recommending an upgrade to Basic ($29/mo/hub) as the team grows, and fold that cost into your retainer justification.
How it gets delivered
Typical setup: 2–4 hours to configure scheduling templates, geofenced clock-in locations, and form templates per niche (cleaning checklist vs. HVAC inspection form). Monthly management is reviewing time-clock exception reports, adjusting shift templates for seasonality, and adding new form workflows as the client's operations evolve.
