How to create and track a new mission on Skello?

Why does it matter?

A mission helps you organize and track your team’s tasks over a defined period. It brings together several roles performed by your staff, making it easier to monitor progress, meet deadlines, and stay within budget. You can centralize information, track real-time activity, and keep control remotely.


How to create a mission?

Follow these steps to create a mission in Skello:

  1. Go to the “Mission” tab: Make sure it's activated in your account. If not, you can enable it in your settings.
    ​

  2. Click on “Create a mission” and fill in the following details:

    • Mission name: Choose a descriptive name.

    • Description: Add a short description to provide more context.

    • Start and end dates: Define the mission period.

    • Number of hours: Indicate the number of hours to be completed based on your quote.

    • Budget: specify the total labor cost or the total amount billed to the client.

    The mission name and description will be visible to employees only via the mobile app.
    ​

  3. Track progress and profitability:

    • In the “Time and costs” tab, you will find:

      • Your declared budget

      • The total realised labor costs (work shifts in the past)

      • The predicted margin, calculated as follows: Budget - Total realised labor costs

      • A progress bar showing the work done, planned hours, and time remaining.
        ​

  4. Export the planning history: You can export all schedule-related information linked to this mission in Excel format, allowing you to track worked and planned hours and ensure accurate billing.
    ​

  5. Close the mission: Once completed, you can close the mission. Only active missions will remain visible, and the history is saved in Skello.

Real-time mission tracking

  • You can filter the schedule by mission to view related shifts.

  • In the mobile app, employees will see the mission name directly in their shifts.

  • A summary of key info (role, mission, hours, tasks, etc.) is available in the shift details.

Tip: If no number of hours is entered, the progress bar will only reflect worked and planned hours.
