Coordinex is for the shops and crews that aren't chains.
And it's built to stay that way.
One app for the whole operational week — shifts for the team that clocks in, jobs for the crews that don't. iPhone-only today, and honest about what it can't do yet.
Why this exists.
Running a small business means running the whole operation yourself, mostly from your phone. The schedule, the timesheets, the payroll, the who's-covering-Saturday text — all of it, all week. The software meant to help is either built for companies with an HR department, or it does one slice and hands the rest back to you.
Coordinex puts the whole week in one app, whether your team runs on shifts or on jobs. A café schedules baristas by the hour; a contractor assigns a crew to a site. Same owner, same app, two shapes of work — both first-class, neither bolted on. Connect Square and it'll even draft next week from your real hourly sales, so you stop guessing the busy shifts.
That is the whole idea. Coordinex won't take a cut of what your team earns or pretend to know your people better than you do, and it won't grow into the enterprise tool you walked away from. It handles the busywork; you do the work.
What Coordinex is right now.
Coordinex is an iPhone app for small businesses that run on shifts or jobs — cafés, shops, clinics, and bars, plus the contractors and crews who work by the job. Shift scheduling builds the week for the team that clocks in; crew scheduling assigns people to jobs and sites. Everyone punches a time clock with GPS so buddy-punching gets caught at the door, and approved time becomes payroll for W-2 staff or payouts for 1099 crews in a tap. Mileage, expenses, and receipts get logged where the work happens. Connect Square and it drafts next week from your real hourly sales — in about 12 minutes. Team chat, shift swaps, and earned-wage access are built in. Free up to 5 people, $9.99/mo from there — full breakdown at /pricing. If it isn't useful in week one, delete it.
What we won't do.
We won't treat every hour as the same hour to staff.
A packed Saturday and a dead Tuesday can cost the same in labor and need completely different coverage. Reading that difference from your real numbers — instead of a guess — is a big part of why this exists.
We won't promise an Android date we can't keep.
Android is on the list. It is not shipping this year. Anyone who says otherwise is selling. Join the waitlist if you want to know the day it changes.
We won't take a cut from your team's earned-wage advances.
Some competitors do. They charge $5 per advance to the worker. We don't. The math doesn't make sense for someone making $17 an hour to pay $5 to see their own paycheck four days early.
We won't pivot to enterprise.
The fastest way to ruin a small-business app is to start chasing a 500-location chain. Every feature we ship gets road-tested against a single owner running one or two shops. If a feature only makes sense at 50 locations, we don't ship it.
We won't sell your data.
Your Square sales history stays between Square, you, and Coordinex's compute. We don't aggregate it for benchmarking against your neighbors. We don't sell it to a private-equity outfit with a thesis about coffee. The whole point is your data shows your shop — not the average shop.
We won't auto-comply with city ordinances we don't understand.
Predictive-scheduling rules in Seattle, San Francisco, Emeryville — we surface the exposure. You make the call. We'd rather flag a maybe than auto-flag a wrong.
