Whats New in Retti

What 3.0 does for your day

• Retti stays signed in while you work, even with several jobs open in different tabs.
• Your foremen can finish their updates without error screens, and only enter what you actually need from them.
• You see double-bookings before you select crew members and equipment, not after.
• Concrete, pump, and other outside work can be scheduled right from the calendar.
• Your reports are cleaner and easier to share.

 

In the Office

When Retti drops you on a busy morning, the whole schedule waits. These fixes are about Retti being there when you need it.

1. Fewer unexpected logouts

Before
Retti could log you out several times a day, sometimes while you were entering a job or on the phone with a builder. If you had several jobs open in different tabs, you had to track them all down again.

Now
We fixed how Retti keeps you signed in. You stay logged in while you work, across as many tabs as you need.

2. Sign in without the spinning wheel

Before
Signing in could get stuck on a spinning wheel or drop you on the wrong page.

Now
Sign-in loads reliably and takes you straight to your usual starting page.

3. Upload bigger files

Office and field users can upload files up to 100 MB, so full plan sets, large PDFs, and videos from the jobsite fit.

In the Field

Your foremen and crews feel it first when something doesn't work. These updates make their day simpler and get you the information you need from them.

1. The schedule opens to today

Before
The field schedule opened to the oldest job schedule missing required tasks.

Now
Crews open the app and see today's work first.

2. Past jobs stay on the schedule (Field User, Calendar)

Before
If a job was archived with no task activity from a field user, it disappeared from the user's schedule and the calendar.

Now
Archived jobs keep their full schedule history. Crews find them under the archive icon at the top of their schedule. Active jobs stay on the schedule, with a green Done mark once required tasks are submitted. Schedules that disappeared under the old rule are back.

Scheduling

Schedules change fast, especially when weather moves a pour. These updates help you get the schedule right the first time and fix it quickly when plans change.

1. See double-bookings before you select crew members and equipment (Scheduler)

Before
You didn't find out a crew member or truck was already booked until after selecting them from the resource list.

Now
When you add crew or equipment in the Scheduler, anyone already scheduled that day has a warning icon next to their name. Hover it to quickly see where they're booked.

2. Schedule concrete, pump, and inspections from the calendar (Workload Calendar)

Before
You scheduled your own crews on the calendar, but outside work like concrete, pump, or inspections had to be scheduled from Hot Seat, On Deck, or the job itself. New schedulers had to learn three places.

Now
External tasks are grouped by stage and open the same scheduling window you already know from Hot Seat. One place to schedule everything.

3. See the concrete and pump on the task card (Week View)

Before
To check whether concrete and pump were lined up for a pour, you had to leave the calendar or click into job details.

Now
Turn on the Related Tasks display option and scheduled outside work shows right on each task card, with the same icons you see on Hot Seat. Hover for contact, click to reschedule, and watch it turn green when it's done. To schedule one that isn't on the card yet, add the task from the scheduler sidebar without leaving the Calendar.

4. Click a crew member's task to make changes (Calendar)

Before
Clicking a task on a crew member's row, especially a foreman assigned as crew, didn't open the Scheduler or anything you could edit. All changes had to be made through the Field User.

Now
Click any task on a crew member, foreman, or equipment row to open the Scheduler for that job. See who's on it, including the foreman, and make changes right there. The popup is also simpler: the map icon is gone, and crew and equipment rows no longer have an Unschedule button. Instead, just drag and drop the Field User back to the scheduler sidebar to unschedule or remove from Scheduler.

5. No more surprise crew popup (Scheduler)

Before
When you edited a schedule, a Confirm Crew Assignment popup showed up intermittently and inconsistently.

Now
It only appears when the crew on the schedule is different from the default crew and you need to pick one. Retti never swaps out your crew without asking.

Calendar Filters

Most helpful if you schedule across divisions or have a large crew list.

1. Find the work and the people at the same time (All Calendar Views)

Before
Filtering the calendar to one division hid everyone outside it, including the crews who move between divisions, the exact people you were trying to place.

Now
The Filters panel has two tabs. Jobs decide what work you see. Resources decide which people and equipment you see. Filter to one division's work and the crews scheduled on it stay visible, no matter which division they belong to.

Start Your Day Faster

1. The calendar opens to today (Workload Calendar)

Before
If you checked Retti on a Saturday or a holiday, the calendar jumped ahead to the next working day instead of showing today.

Now
It opens to today, every time, the same as Hot Seat.

2. On Deck is back (On Deck)

Before
On Deck had been combined into Hot Seat.

Now
On Deck is its own view again. Use Hot Seat for what's happening today and On Deck to look ahead.

3. Tell jobs apart clearly with job name and address (Workload Calendar, Map)

Before
The Jobs sidebar led with the workflow name, so a list full of "Residential Foundations" all looked the same.

Now
The sidebar shows the Job Name and Job Address first, with the workflow name in smaller text under the builder.

4. More on screen at once

Before
Only the Workload Calendar and Map used your full screen, and the Jobs sidebar showed just a few tasks at a time.

Now
Every page uses the full width of your screen, which is a big help on the large monitor or TV in the dispatch office. The Jobs sidebar runs the full height of the screen, so you scroll less.

5. Create a job in less time (All Jobs, Workload Calendar)

Before
The new job form asked for permit numbers you almost never have when a job first comes in.

Now
Permit fields are gone from the Create New Job and New Workflow forms. Permit fields are still in Job Details. The form is cleaner, with helpful example text and fields that only show up when they apply.

Cleaner Reports

Less time fixing up an export before you share it with your team.

1. Crew and equipment are easy to read

Before
Everyone assigned to a job ran together in one long line, and narrow columns made longer text hard to read.

Now
Each crew member and piece of equipment gets its own line, with equipment shown as Equipment Name (Equipment Number). Columns are wider and long text wraps cleanly.

2. Pull a report for one person, truck, or builder contact

Before
You couldn't filter reports by crew, equipment, or builder contact, so you had to dig through everything to find one person's jobs.

Now
Search and filter by Assigned Crew Members, Assigned Equipment, Builder Contact, and more. Need every job Kevin worked, or every job for one builder contact? Pick the name and any job they're on shows up.

3. See when a job was created

Now
See when a job was created to quickly identify any jobs created before the current workflow version was published.

Materials

Material details are easier to read and enter in the office.

1. Cleaner labels and layout (Job Details, Scheduler)

Before
Material details were labeled "Final" or "Value" even when that didn't apply, and fields were narrow and spread out.

Now
"Final" only shows on details set up with Estimated and Final amounts, and the "Value" label is gone. Fields are left-aligned, about twice as wide, and closer together, so notes and longer text are easy to read. This applies to material orders, material updates, Job Details, and Work Progress, including older jobs.

 

---

Inventory

1. Route estimates include drive time again (Inventory)

Now
New jobs calculate the distance between locations again, so estimates include drive time plus loading and unloading. Jobs created while distance was unavailable are not updated, and live traffic is not included.

 

---

Other Fixes

1. Attach plans to any job (Job Details > Documents)

Before
On some jobs, adding a document showed a "Document type must be set" error with no type to choose, so you couldn't attach plans.

Now
Choose Other as the document type and upload your file.

2. Mobile navigation header (Mobile App)

Before
The navigation header on mobile didn't stay in place correctly after the last release.

Now
It displays and stays in place as expected.
