Happy Hire — Operations Tool

A simple daily rhythm so work is visible and nothing slips. Proposal — Phase 1.

A lightweight tool that makes work visible across Christchurch + Group: quick daily check-ins, instant job capture, and clean summaries — without your team having to live in admin software. We build, host and maintain it; your team just runs it day-to-day, and your data stays in your own tools.

What we propose

Field staff stay in Slack

Check-ins and job updates happen with a tap in Slack — nobody has to open or learn another system.

One engine ties it together

An automation engine (n8n) routes everything between Slack, ClickUp and your data store — quietly, in the background.

Your own data store

Every check-in and job is stored in your own database (Supabase) — a real asset you own and can build on.

Clear summaries where you work

Daily + 6am summaries and a jobs-won board, posted straight into Slack — no new app to learn.

How it works

Goes in

📱 Slack — your team
  • Start & end-of-day check-ins
  • "Add a job" (call/email/idea)
  • Claim · Start · Done buttons
📧 Per-branch email-in
  • Forwarded jobs land automatically
⚙️ Setup sheet
  • Staff, teams, branches — filled once

The engine

n8n
Routes everything, runs the schedules, keeps it in sync. Built & maintained for you.

Stored & connected

🗄️ Supabase
  • Your database — the single source of truth
✅ ClickUp
  • Jobs & tasks, synced from the Slack buttons

What you see

📋 Daily team summary
☀️ Jason's 6am summary
🏆 Jobs won this week → #wins-revenue
Phase 2 · later
💰 Xero — revenue per job, margins & costings. Bolts onto the same data store once the time's right — no rebuild.

Phasing

Phase 1 — now

The operational tool

  • Slack check-ins, job capture & status buttons
  • Daily team summary + Jason's 6am view
  • Jobs-won board, auto-posted to #wins-revenue
  • Your own data store, set up and populated
  • Christchurch + Group first, then Wellington + Hamilton
Phase 2 — later

The financial layer

  • Revenue per job, margins & costings
  • Custom dashboards on top of the data store
  • Added as an upgrade once it's the right time
  • Built so it bolts on cleanly — no rework

The process

Connect

You approve a small Slack app and confirm access. One-off.

Build

We build the flows and your data store on our side.

Test

We test it together with a couple of users.

Go live

Switch on for Christchurch + Group.

Roll out

Extend to Wellington + Hamilton.

Maintain

We keep it running and tweak as you go.

Built, hosted & maintained by Deplexify. Your team runs it day-to-day; your data stays in your own tools. Phase 2 (financials) added later, once the time's right.
