Hi there,

Happy Wednesday! We’re excited to introduce Mover Role Management 2.0 – a set of updates that give you more flexibility when assigning movers to jobs, viewing capacity by role on the schedule, controlling mover permissions, and managing payroll data right in Chariot.

Role Management and Per Job Roles will be available in your account by default – contact us (support@chariotmove.com) if you want to turn on Capacity by Role and Pay Rate Configuration + Reporting.

Quick summary (highlights below βœ¨πŸ‘‡):

  • Per Job Roles – Assign movers to jobs with different roles as needed (i.e., John Smith can be a Driver on Job A and a Helper on Job B).
  • Capacity by Role – On the Schedule, easily view the number of available resources by role (e.g., 6 Drivers and 12 Helpers).
  • Role Management – Change permissions (e.g., β€œCan access BoL” or β€œCan send mover texts”) for your movers directly in Chariot.
  • Pay Rate Configuration + Reporting – You can also configure default pay rates for roles in the new Role Management page and for movers (which would override the default role rate) in Resources > Edit Movers, allowing you to more easily measure payroll costs and reporting directly within Chariot.
  • Custom Badge Colors – Customize the colors of your role badges!

Per Job Roles and Capacity by Role

❓ Why we built this

We know that movers often need to have different roles on different jobs – you now have the flexibility to assign, communicate and track that in Chariot.

πŸ’‘ How it works

  1. Movers will continue to have a default role
  2. However, now, when you assign a mover to a Track or to a Job, you’ll also be able to change their role (at the Track level or on the Job itself) by clicking the badge and selecting a role from the dropdown.
  3. Please note: the Capacity by Role feature is opt-in only – reach out to support@chariotmove.com if you’d like us to set it up for you!

Role Management

❓ Why we built this

There are many crew features in Chariot and we understand the importance of providing access to those features to the right movers at the right time.

πŸ’‘ How it works

Users with the role of β€œOwner” will have access to a new tab in Resources > Role Management and will be able to update permissions, change role badge colors and assign default pay rates.

Reminder – roles themselves are customizable, just reach out to us and we can help you out!

Pay Rate Configuration and Reporting

❓ Why we built this

Having all of your data in one place is always helpful, so we’ve added the ability to configure pay rates and view basic payroll reports in Chariot. We have more payroll management features coming soon, so stay tuned!

πŸ’‘ How it works

  • You can configure default pay rates for roles in Resources > Role Management or configure pay rates for movers (overriding default role rates) in Resources > Movers > Edit Pay Rates.
  • Please note – Pay Rate configuration is opt-in only, reach out to support@chariotmove.com if you’d like us to set it up!
  • Pay rate data will show up in Reports in the Time Worked by Mover and Time Worked by All Movers reports, showing you a mover’s hours, rate and total pay for a given job.
