Why teams switch from group chats
The group chat is quick, sure. It's also where the important stuff goes to get buried.
Searchable history
Every handover is indexed and searchable. Find what was reported three weeks ago in seconds, without scrolling through chat threads.
Read receipts built in
Know exactly who has read each handover. Managers get real-time read confirmation, so "I didn't see it" stops being an excuse.
Photos that stay
Attach photos directly to handover fields. They stay linked to the right context — not buried in a camera roll.
No app download. No training.
Staff open a link, fill in fields, tap submit. If they can use a group chat, they can use Simple Handover.

How it works
Set up your site
Add your venue, configure shifts, and invite your team.
Build your template
Drag and drop the fields your team needs — text, checklists, photos, staff pickers.
Staff submit handovers
At the end of each shift, staff fill in the structured form and tap submit. No app download required.
Managers stay informed
Handovers land in a searchable feed with read receipts, priority flags, and instant notifications.
Pay for management. Staff are always free.

Frequently asked questions
Do my staff need to download an app?
No. Simple Handover is a web app — staff open a link in their phone browser, fill in the form, and tap submit. No app store, no updates, no storage used.
Can I customise the handover template?
Yes. You build your own template with the fields that matter to your operation: text, numbers, checklists, dropdowns, photo uploads, staff pickers, and more. Different sites can have different templates.
Is there a contract or lock-in?
No contracts. Pay monthly, cancel any time. Your data is always exportable.
Can I try it before paying?
Every plan starts with a free 30-day trial. No credit card required to start.
What happens to photos after 30 days?
Photos are retained for 30 days to keep storage costs low and your account fast. You'll get reminders before they expire so you can download anything you need.
Set up before tonight’s shift change
Setup takes five minutes. Tonight’s handover lands here, not in the group chat.
