Your upcoming jobsite delivery schedules’ details will automatically become viewable on QuikCal and can be synced to Google Calendar, Outlook, and Procore
QuikCal's dashboard makes it simple to keep track of upcoming deliveries and track how much advanced notice subcontractors provide (lead time) ahead of a delivery. Easily share the delivery calendar through Google Calendar with an unlimited number of site managers, coworkers, and contractors.
QuikCal enables subcontractors to schedule and receive updates about the calendar through SMS messages. QuikCal’s conversational AI works with you to schedule an event and make sure all needed information is clarified.
Using the dashboard, the project adminstrator can set rules for what events can be scheduled including working hours, double booking protections, authorized phone numbers, and they can specify concrete contractors (who need priority scheduling permission).
They can share access to the calendar to allow team members to edit/delete previously scheduled events. The project admin can also enable daily SMS schedule notifications for anyone on their team and automatic reminders for subcontractors about their events.
You can keep using your existing whiteboard calendar! QuikCal uses SMS messaging from any phone platform without an app.
You can text multiple whiteboard photos per day and QuikCal automatically updates the delivery calendar with changes to your deliveries.

"One of the biggest benefits of using QuikCal is the coordination of deliveries, which greatly reduces traffic congestion outside the jobsite. Before, when deliveries overlapped, superintendents had to make trucks wait on the road while another delivery was being unloaded. This often led to traffic jams and created a pinch point in the street. With QuikCal, our scheduling is much more efficient, ensuring that deliveries are coordinated so that subcontractors aren’t blocking traffic. When a delivery arrives, we’re ready to receive and offload it immediately."
"I used QuikCal on the Novus tower as the lead structural project manager to help us with delivery management. The main benefit of QuikCal for us was being able to access our delivery board in the field on our iPads when trades would ask us if they could squeeze in additional deliveries. QuikCal also allowed our team to distribute this information to our trade partners and cut down on double delivery bookings significantly. This increase in efficiency greatly helped our project."
“To me it’s a great tool ‘cause it can tell me right away if I am able to schedule a delivery at that time. Before QuikCal, you’d have to go try to find somebody [PM/Superintendent] to make sure that time works for scheduling a delivery.”
"Getting everyone on board with QuikCal was pretty
smooth. I'd bring it up in our meetings and show the agenda view—the rule is,
‘if you’re not on the QuikCal schedule, you can’t use the buckhoist.’ With the
new subs, they just scan a QR code during orientation, and they’re set up to
schedule deliveries. Our foremen usually text in deliveries after our weekly
meetings.”
"Subcontractors typically give 1-2 days advance notice for deliveries, or plan deliveries 1 week at a time. Even with other digital tools, the average notice was 48 hours. Texting in a delivery request is much easier than filling out a web-based form, checking out a website or writing on whiteboard. With QuikCal we're seeing subs start to plan their deliveries more than a week in advance."
