Your crews know what’s stuck. Hear it before it becomes a delay.
Missing materials, a safety gap, an inspection that moved: the crew knows first. Tessa calls each crew lead in English or Spanish and gets it to you the same day.
She replies in seconds and drafts your first check-in from the conversation.

The delay was known on Tuesday.
Picture a mid-rise job with six crews and three subs. On Tuesday the drywall crew finds the wrong board on site. The foreman tells the driver, who tells someone at the yard.
By Thursday the schedule has slipped, and the superintendent hears about it from the owner.
How Tessa reaches crew leads, foremen and subs
They’re on site, not on email. Tessa calls or WhatsApps each of them before or after the shift, on their own phone.
On their channel
A phone call, WhatsApp, SMS, Slack or email: each person on the channel they actually use. About five minutes, with an SMS heads-up before the first call.
In their language
English, Spanish or French, person by person. Everyone answers in the language they think in, and you still read one report.
Nothing to install
No app, no account, no training, and they never pay. Anyone can say SKIP. One warm reminder, no re-dialing after voicemail, and quiet hours respected.
A shift-end check-in for your crews
Adapted from the Maintenance Crew Check-in template; every question is editable. Tessa can also carry a standard into the call, like a new crane checklist.
Setup is a conversation: text or call Tessa, tell her what you wish you knew every week, and she drafts the first check-in. You review it and launch it.
- 1Any safety concerns or incidents today?
- 2Is any equipment down or not working right?
- 3What’s your crew’s top priority tomorrow?
- 4Do you need any materials ordered?
“Antes de cerrar el turno — ¿completaste la lista de seguridad de la grúa? Es la nueva, la de tres puntos.”
Safety checklist: 11 of 12 crews confirmed. One staffing gap after 3 PM, flagged to operations.
One report, and blockers routed the same day.
- One report: themes, blockers, sentiment and response rates.
- Each blocker becomes a tracked item, routed to whoever can fix it, the same day.
- Urgent issues escalate to a named person instead of waiting for the report.
- When someone asks what happened with what they raised, Tessa reads back its status.
- Aggregate-first: no individual scoring, ever.
What buyers ask before they start
Is this surveillance of my staff?
No. Tessa reports what the team is saying (themes, blockers and response rates), never a score on a person. Anyone can say SKIP, and she sends one warm reminder at most.
Can Tessa talk to my crews in Spanish?
Yes. Each person gets English, Spanish or French. A crew lead can answer in Spanish, and you still read one report.
Our subs aren’t in our systems. Can Tessa reach them?
Yes, with a phone number. Tessa calls, WhatsApps or texts them; no app, no account, and they never pay.
Does it replace our daily reports or our safety program?
No. Tessa asks the questions you choose and tells you what’s blocking work. Your safety program and paperwork stay as they are.
How long does setup take?
One conversation. Text or call Tessa, tell her what you want to know, and she drafts the first check-in. A person on your side reviews it and launches it.

Free to start, with 200 minutes a month. The leader’s Builder seat is $99 a month with 100 minutes of talk time included, then 15¢ a minute. Everyone Tessa talks to is free.
