App Concept

CrewSync Pro

CrewSync Pro is a workforce scaling platform for construction trades that accelerates new hire ramp-up via AR-guided task walkthroughs, micro-learning modules, and real-time productivity dashboards. It pairs with a curated marketplace of pre-vetted subcontractors to handle overflow work without the owner’s supervision, turning lost revenue into billable projects.

Key Features

AR-guided on-site training overlays for common construction tasks
Vetted subcontractor marketplace with automated matching and scheduling
Real-time productivity and progress dashboards per crew member
Quick onboarding module: safety orientation, site rules, tool checklists in <1 hour

Target Users: Owners of small-to-midsize construction companies (5-50 employees) who need to scale beyond owner-performed work.

Revenue Model: $49/mo per active crew member + 5% transaction fee on subcontractor bookings
