How to create and track a new mission on Skello?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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.
