Assign the work and track it in one place
Hand out owners, set work fronts and dependencies, and see what comes next on site.
Matterial's tasks module splits the site work across owners and crews, orders the work fronts by their dependencies, and shows what's ready to start and what's on hold. Instead of coordinating over WhatsApp and from memory, the whole team sees the same tasks, each with a due date, an owner and a status.
What problem it solves
Running the job over WhatsApp and by word of mouth leaves gaps: a task falls through because no one knew it was theirs, a work front starts before the previous one is ready, and when something jams up nobody sees the domino effect until it has already stalled other crews. With no shared place, everyone works off their own version of what comes next.
How it works
Create the task and assign it
You lay out what needs doing, on which work front and who owns it, with a due date.
Chain the dependencies
You mark which task depends on another so the team sees the real order and what can start today.
The crew updates progress
Each owner marks their task as in progress or done, and the status updates for everyone instantly.
See what comes next and what is on hold
At a glance you tell apart what can already start from what is blocked, waiting on another front.

Frequently asked questions
How do I assign a task to someone on site?
You create the task, pick the work front and set an owner and a due date. That person sees it on their list, and the rest of the team also knows whose it is.
Can I organize tasks by work fronts?
Yes. Each task sits on a front, so at a glance you see what each crew is up to and how much load each front is carrying.
What happens when one task depends on another?
You chain the dependency and Matterial shows the order: the waiting task is marked as on hold until the previous one is done, so nobody starts ahead of time.
Does the whole crew see the same tasks?
Yes. Everyone works off the same board, with the status always current, so there is an end to conflicting versions of what comes next on site.
