Schedule by text. Not by app.
Convey reads the texts, drafts the week, and finds coverage when someone calls out. Your team gets it all on the phone they already use — no download, no login, no "did you see my message."

Schedule republished. Team notified.
Minutes, not a group-chat afternoon. Staff only get texts after they opt in.
The callout
Three people just texted you they can't work Saturday.
Cue the group chat, the spreadsheet, the break-room printout — and the 30 minutes you'll never get back.
Convey reads it. Finds coverage. Confirms with Devon. Before you finish this sentence.
The grid
Click. Drag. Done.
A schedule grid that works the way you think. Click a cell to add a shift, drag it to move, see conflicts flagged in real time. Undo, redo, done. No forms, no wizards — just a grid.
The draft
Your rules in. A full week out.
Tell Convey your hours, day-off requests, and labor targets — it drafts a full week. You review, tweak, publish. Or scrap it and start over. It's fast.
Your staff doesn't install anything. Ever.
We text them a link. They tap it, enter a 4-digit code, and bookmark the page. That's it. No download, no password, no onboarding. Works on every phone made since 2012.
The best employee app is a text message.
