Partners
One job, several partners.
Some work moves from team to team: one makes it, another prints it, a courier delivers it. schedule-bit books every step in order, across your teams or partner companies, and confirms the job only when everyone has said yes.
Meet the partners.
Each row is one partner’s day, hour by hour, from midnight to 23:00. Filled squares are hours they’re already busy. Each partner keeps their own calendar, and only they can say yes to it.
Hours 06:00 to 23:00 shown.
