by province, on every invoice and in the Sales Tax report — built into the ledger, not bolted on.
Built inside a working masonry company in Calgary — crews in the field every working day — and run from Prince Edward Island.
Keeping the schedule straight. Getting what happened on site back to the office. Getting paid without chasing. Daybook took those three — whatever the work is.
The schedule
Day, week, month, the map, the dispatch board and the action list — six views of one calendar, so the office and the field are looking at the same picture. Everything you take on has a date.
Field to office
Clock-in, checklists and photos from the phone already in their pocket — with no signal, if it comes to that; it files itself when the signal returns. The office sees it the moment it lands.
Getting paid
Invoices raised off what was agreed. A reminder you set once does the following-up, with a Pay Now link. E-transfers are matched to their invoices for you to confirm; cards online; EFT read and reconciled.
Same app, your words
The mechanics are the same whoever you are. What changes is the vocabulary — and the tools that are switched on.
| Workflow | Field & service trades | Facility & care |
|---|---|---|
| Winning the work | Quotes built from your own labour, materials and markups — the same answer every time — and signed in the client’s portal. | Registration by term, by week or by day, waitlists, and families who register once and come back every season. |
| The day | Clock-in, FLHA safety forms, checklists and photos from the site — offline too. | The week board: every child, the five days across, allergies and medications beside them. Waivers signed before the first day. |
| The client | A client hub: quote approvals and revisions, invoices, a way to pay and a way to message you back. | A family portal: what they booked, what they owe, photos and consents, the schedule — and a way to pay or ask. |
| The money | Progress invoicing on long jobs, GST/HST by province, e-transfers matched for you to confirm. | Billing that runs every month, all year; cards and e-transfer; a statement for every family. |
How it’s charged
Most software in this market charges by the head. Daybook charges the office and leaves the people doing the work alone.
| Workflow | Field-service platforms priced per user | Care platforms priced per child or per room | Daybook |
|---|---|---|---|
| Currency | Often billed in US dollars — the exchange rate and your card’s foreign fee ride along. | Often billed in US dollars, with the modules priced separately. | Canadian dollars. Every plan, every add-on, printed on the pricing page. |
| The people doing the work | Typically an extra monthly fee for every field user past the plan’s cap. | Typically an extra fee per staff login, per classroom or per child. | Field seats free and unlimited on Crew and Company. Coaches, counsellors and maintenance crews free on every club, camp and property plan. Daycare plans include their staff seats. |
| Your website | Usually a separate builder, or a designer. | Usually not provided. | Included on every plan — built from your industry’s template, live when you press Publish. |
| Canadian tax | Usually an accounting add-on. | Usually worked out by hand. | GST/HST by province on every invoice, and the Sales Tax report ready for filing. |
Six rate cards — one per kind of business — all on the pricing page. Nothing here is a discount, and there is no setup fee.
The four things a Canadian business does every week that the rest of the market treats as an add-on.

Where it came from
Ryan studied computer engineering in Toronto, then apprenticed as a bricklayer, earned his Red Seal, and in 2014 started a masonry company in Calgary that still has crews in the field every working day. When he moved home to Prince Edward Island he ran his half of it from five thousand kilometres away — the quotes, the schedule, the money, the email — and nothing off the shelf would show him the whole business in one place. Daybook is what that distance taught him to build.
The office sees everything. The field never has to stop.
— Ryan, founder
