# Bring a new pool technician into a shared workflow

> Chisel Tide provides a technician roster and assigned routes so adding another technician can start with a clear team structure.

## Every handoff means more texts, repeated instructions, and calls to the owner.

A new technician needs to know where to go, what is expected at each stop, and how to report exceptions. A name in a roster is only the beginning. Write down the information your most experienced technician currently carries in their head.

## Prepare the team roster

Confirm each person’s name and work email. Identify who will run service visits and who handles repairs. Do not invent an email for someone who has not supplied one.

## Plan the first working day

Choose a manageable group of properties. Review access information and the expected service with the technician in your authorized business system. Keep passwords and gate codes out of setup chats.

## Check the handoff in practice

Have the technician open their assigned route and walk through a sample stop. Confirm how they report an issue, incomplete work, or a customer request before expanding the assignment.

## How Tide helps

Tide’s technician roster supports profiles, availability status, and assigned routes. The technician mobile app is a separate working surface from the owner’s dashboard.

## What chat setup includes

Prepare up to 20 technicians in a new company draft. A technician can be listed before their email is known, but a real login email and the normal invitation process are still needed. Chat setup sends no invitations.

Chat setup is in preview. Availability depends on your assistant and the Tide connection. You can also create your account on this page when signup is available.

## Does adding a technician in chat give them access immediately?

No. Account creation saves the reviewed roster. The owner adds any missing login emails and invites the team afterward.

## What to measure

Count handoff questions and stops requiring office intervention during a pilot week. Ask the technician which missing information caused each interruption.
