Reports for the partners. On-time rate, turnaround, who's swamped and who's free. The view you need to run the firm.

The real cost

A missed deadline costs you the next instruction.

Banks and clients keep instructing the firms that deliver on time. Run your jobs out of a WhatsApp group and a notebook, and the day you slip is the day they quietly move to someone else.

🧠

Jobs live in someone's head

Instructions sit in email, WhatsApp and a notebook. A job gets forgotten until the client calls to ask where their report is.

⏰

Deadlines creep up unseen

Nobody's watching the clock until it's too late. You find out a job is overdue when the bank chases, not before.

🀷🏾

No view of who's doing what

One valuer is drowning, another's free, and you can't see it. Work piles up on the wrong desk and nobody notices.

πŸ—‚οΈ

Documents scattered everywhere

The report's in email, the title's on WhatsApp, the photos are on a phone. Pulling a job together at delivery is a scramble.

The feature partners trust

A deadline clock on every single job.

The moment you log an instruction, Job Tracker sets the due date and starts counting. Green while there's time, amber when it's close, red once it's late. You look at the board and you know what's on fire, without reading a single date.

  • βœ“
    Green, amber, red at a glance.

    Every card is coloured by its deadline. What needs attention today jumps out; what's fine stays quiet.

  • βœ“
    Working days only.

    Weekends and Kenyan public holidays are skipped, so a five working-day job lands on the right date, not five calendar days later.

  • βœ“
    It warns you before it's late.

    A job goes amber two days out, and a daily sweep pings the person on it and the partner watching, so nothing slips unseen.

  • βœ“
    On-time rate you can show the bank.

    Every delivered job counts toward a running on-time rate. Proof, in a number, that your firm hits its deadlines.

  • βœ“
    Set the clock to your firm.

    Five working days for one firm, ten for another. You set the turnaround that matches the promise you make your clients.

How it works

Live in a day.

I do the heavy lifting. You get a working system your whole firm can run from day one.

1. I set it up for you

Send me your team, your clients and how your work flows. I build your system with your stages, your deadlines and your branding, and load your current open jobs, usually within a day.

2. You log and allocate

Instructions go in with a reference and a deadline, then out to the right person in a tap. They're notified on WhatsApp, and the board shows the whole firm's workload at a glance.

3. Everything gets delivered on time

The clock warns you before a job is late, documents build up on each job, and the partners see the on-time rate. Nothing slips, and the banks keep instructing you.

Who it's for

Built for firms that work to a deadline.

Who's behind it

The same hands behind Shop Manager and Gym Manager.

I'm Joel. I build practical tools for Kenyan businesses, websites, shop systems, WhatsApp automation, the kind a busy team actually uses, not bloated enterprise software you pay for by the seat and never fully switch on.

Job Tracker started with a real valuation firm, Avid Property, who needed to stop losing track of bank instructions and their deadlines. It replaces the pipelines and task-allocation you'd rent from a big CRM, without the per-user cost or the setup no one finishes.

Every feature earns its place by solving a real problem a partner or valuer has, not one a developer imagined.

Questions

Questions firms ask.

What kind of firm is Job Tracker for?

Any firm whose work comes in as an instruction and has to go out as a deliverable, on a deadline, done by a named person. Property valuers, land surveyors, law firms, architects, quantity surveyors, engineering consultants. If you get a reference number from a client, allocate the job to someone on your team, and have to deliver it before a due date, Job Tracker is built for exactly that.

How does the turnaround clock work?

You set how many working days each job gets, say 5. The moment you log an instruction, the due date is worked out for you, counting only working days and skipping weekends and Kenyan public holidays. Every job card is then colour-coded off that clock: green while there's time, amber when it's due within two days, red once it's overdue, grey when it's delivered. You see what needs attention without reading a single date.

Is my clients' data private?

Yes, completely. There is no public page and no public link anywhere. Every screen sits behind a real login with its own password, and staff only see the jobs assigned to them unless they're a partner or manager. Your client names, instruction references and documents are never exposed, and nothing is searchable on Google. That's the whole point: it holds confidential client work, not products for sale.

Do my staff need to install anything?

No. It opens in a browser on any laptop or phone, nothing to install. Each person signs in with their own email and password. You add your team once, decide who's a partner or manager and who's a valuer or associate, and they're ready to work.

How does allocating a job work, and who gets told?

A partner or manager logs the instruction and assigns it to a team member. That person gets a WhatsApp and an email the moment it lands on their plate, so a job never sits unnoticed. The person who allocated it is quietly kept in the loop too: they're notified when the job changes stage or picks up a comment, so you can follow progress without standing over anyone's desk. These messages go to your own staff, never to your clients.

Where do documents and site photos go?

They hang off the job. Upload the valuation report, the title, the instruction letter, site photos, whatever the job needs, and they live right there on that job for anyone allowed to see it. No more hunting through email threads and WhatsApp for the right file. Every document is behind the login, streamed only to people who are signed in, never a public link.

What happens when a job is running late?

It turns amber before it's late and red the moment it's overdue, right on the board, so it's impossible to miss. A daily check also raises a due-soon and overdue alert so the right person and the partner who allocated it both get nudged. Reports keep a running on-time rate, so you can see whether the firm is holding its deadlines or slipping, per person and per client.

Can I see how my team is doing?

Yes. Reports show your on-time rate, average turnaround time, how many jobs are overdue and how they're aging, workload per person so you can see who's swamped and who's free, and a breakdown of jobs by client. It's the view a partner needs to run the firm, not just a to-do list. Only partners and managers see Reports.

Can I change the stages to match how my firm works?

Yes. The pipeline stages are yours to name. A valuer's flow might be Received, Site Visit, Drafting, Review, Submitted, Closed. A law firm's would read completely differently. You set the stages that match how your firm actually works, and the board and reports follow.

Do you set it up for me, and can you bring in my existing jobs?

Yes. Send me your client list, your team and how your work flows, and I build the whole thing for you, usually within a day. You can bring your current open jobs in from a spreadsheet in one go, so you start with your real workload already on the board, not an empty screen.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer, no install. A valuer can update a job from the field and a partner can check the board from anywhere. Everyone still signs in with their own password.

Stop losing jobs to a missed deadline.

See every instruction, hit every deadline, and run the whole firm from one board. Let's set it up.
