A front-of-house team huddles in a bright lobby before opening, leaning in around a phone held by their team lead.
Cue 1 08:45, opening huddle. Five people, one plan, and nobody asking who has the ten o'clock.

Run every shift like opening night.

Every tour, task and shift on one live plan. Your team claims work from their phones, nobody double-books, and you watch the whole day fall into place.

2 cues standing by. Press Call the day.Sample day · fictional team

Every crew has a running order.

Museums and tours, front desks, backstage, shop floors. If your people move between jobs all day, Guidely keeps who-does-what in one place everyone trusts.

How a day gets called.

Three calls, from the plan on your screen to the job done on the floor.

  1. Standby

    You publish the work.

    Tours, tasks and shifts go on one schedule in Guidely Manager. Assign someone, or leave work open for the right people to claim. Templates, repeat batches and CSV import save you the retyping.

    Open work shows red until someone takes it.

  2. Go

    Your team claims it.

    Staff see open work on their phones and take what fits. Each job gets exactly one owner. Where you set them up, claims are checked against languages, qualifications and shifts, and clashes with their own work are flagged.

    First to claim gets it. Nobody else can take the same job.

  3. Clear

    Hand over, wrap up, hear from guests.

    Can't make it? Offer the job to a colleague, and it stays yours until they accept. Mark work complete, and after a tour, show guests a QR code for a quick rating.

    The handover only moves once a colleague says yes.

On their phones. Tours, Tasks and My Work, in day, week and month views. Claim, release, hand over, add to calendar, get the update.

On your desk. Guidely Manager: the whole schedule, coverage at a glance, staff, qualifications and shifts, and a history of every change.

Glad you asked.

Still have a question? Email us directly.

Is Guidely only for tour operators?

No. We can explore a task-focused setup for teams managing day-to-day operations, a tour-focused setup for guides, or both. Your pilot defines the configuration and any adaptations required.

Can I try the app right now?

Yes. The iPhone and Android apps are in public beta: install them from TestFlight or Google Play using the links on this page. Sign-in is by invitation from your team's manager, so to look around with your own team, tell us about it and we'll set up a team space.

What do managers and staff use?

Managers use Guidely Manager to plan and oversee work. Staff use the Guidely app to see assignments, find available work and update their work status. Device and rollout requirements are confirmed during onboarding.

Can it fit the way we work?

We'll review your terminology, branding, assignment process and locations. Your proposal makes clear what's supported, what needs adapting and what would be custom work.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is proposed around your team, locations and modules. The business subscription covers the manager workspace and staff app. Onboarding, integrations and custom development are scoped separately. All pilot terms are agreed before you start.

Can it connect to our existing tools?

Tell us what you use and which information needs to move between systems. Integrations are assessed individually, with compatibility, scope and cost confirmed before work begins.
