For UK trade subcontractors

Your crew talk on WhatsApp. SHINDI does the paperwork.

Your labourers already send photos, voice notes and tickets on WhatsApp, in whatever language they speak.

SHINDI turns them into timesheets, a signed diary and payroll-ready hours, and tells you when something's wrong. Nothing to install. Nobody to train.

The problem

The job already runs on WhatsApp. The paperwork doesn't.

It's up before you are.

A brief at 06:30 with who’s in, what’s booked and what’s at risk. A wrap at 17:30 with the hours, the diary and anything still open. You reply with one tap.

Everyone gets the bit they need.

Your crew

Their hours, their job, and where they’re needed tomorrow.

You

Live board, who hasn’t shown up, and a diary already written.

The office

Payroll CSVs, CIS statements and job costing that add up.

Ask it anything

It knows what's in the paperwork.

Reading everything
2 tickets missing · Rev C out of date

SHINDI has read every drawing, RAMS, ticket and message on the job. Ask it a question the way you’d ask your foreman, and it tells you what’s current, what’s missing and what’s about to bite.

You ask
"What’s the current spec for the Sector B pour, and are we cleared for it?"
C32/40, per Rev D issued Friday. The gang’s copy is Rev C. Two delivery tickets are missing and one operative’s card expired on the 12th.
Drawings, specs, RAMS, method statements and the latest regulations, searchable in plain English.
Anomalies flagged: superseded revisions, expired cards, gaps in the record.
You hear about it before it becomes a problem, not after.

What you stop doing

Six jobs off your Sunday.
