Overview

Frontline Execution anchors work to a place and a role rather than to a person. That one decision is what makes turnover, absence, transfers, and shift changes stop orphaning tasks: the assignee is a mutable attribute that re-resolves, so a store's obligation and its coverage number survive whoever happens to hold it today.

HQ authors an operational directive once — a promo changeover, a store reset, a safety walk, a daily opening checklist — targets it to the right sites and roles, and the platform fans it out to every location. Each frontline worker sees one ranked "My Day" list of what to do this shift, and every row says why it is ranked there. Assignment checks approved leave, the published roster, and any certification the work requires before it picks anyone, and work that runs out of time hands to the next rostered, eligible person rather than dropping into a pool nobody watches.

One shared rule set — shift, site, training, role and permission — governs completion identically on the web, the phone, a shared kiosk, the API and the AI assistant, so no surface is a way around a rule another one enforces. The person who did the work cannot sign it off, and every launch, reassignment, handoff, override and closure lands on an exportable history naming who decided — a person, a schedule, or the assistant. Built on the same location tree, audience targeting, Service Desk, Calendar and acknowledgement ledger the rest of the platform already uses.

Highlights

Author an operational directive once at HQ and fan it out to every store, region, or role automatically.
Every frontline worker gets one ranked list of what to do this shift — and each item says why it is ranked there.
Work is anchored to a place and a role, so turnover, absence, transfers, and shift changes never orphan a task.
Assignment respects approved leave, the published roster, and required certifications before it picks anyone.
Capture photo and signature proof at the point of work, with the same rules enforced on web, mobile, kiosk, API and AI.
The person who did the work can never sign it off, and sending work back always carries a reason they can act on.
When several stores report the same blocker, group it into one issue and raise a single Service Desk ticket.
Follow any campaign from launch through every decision — including the ones the AI assistant made — and export it.

Use cases

Retail promo changeover across 400 stores
A retailer pushes a promo changeover to every store and watches coverage roll up by district, seeing which sites finished before the weekend and which never started.
Daily opening checklist that survives the roster
A restaurant group runs a per-location opening checklist that re-resolves each day to whoever actually manages that store — and never lands on someone on approved leave.
Certification-gated line changeover
A manufacturer posts a changeover procedure only operators holding a current certification can complete, and only while they are on shift and on the plant floor.
Safety round that hands to the incoming shift
A healthcare system runs a per-shift safety round; an unfinished check hands to the next rostered, qualified person rather than dropping into a pool nobody watches.
One supply problem instead of forty store calls
When forty stores report the same missing promo stock, HQ sees one grouped issue with the affected locations and opens a single Service Desk ticket — and every blocked store is told it is being handled.
Answering a compliance audit without engineering
An administrator opens one campaign's decision history and exports launch, reassignments, handoffs, overrides and closure — with the actor on every row — instead of asking for a log query.

FAQ

Nothing breaks. Work is bound to a location and a role, not to a person — the assignee is a mutable attribute that can be re-resolved at any time. When someone leaves, the obligation hands to whoever now holds that role at that location; the due date, proof requirements and coverage number are untouched. Every change is written to an append-only history, so you can always see who held the work and why it moved.

Tasks is a personal and project to-do surface where you assign work to a named individual. Frontline Execution is the HQ-to-field layer above it: you author one directive, target a slice of the org, and the platform creates and tracks the work per location with a coverage rollup. It runs on the same underlying task records, so completion, checklists and proof are shared — this app adds the campaign, the targeting, the late binding, and the rollup.

Yes. Assignment checks approved leave, the published roster, the person's role, and any certification the campaign requires. Someone on approved leave is never assigned. People rostered at that location for the relevant window are preferred over people who are not, and a tenant can go further and refuse assignment to anyone unscheduled — that setting is off by default, because an unowned obligation is usually worse than an imperfectly owned one.

Yes. A campaign can require a photo, a signature, or both, and the server refuses to mark the work done until the proof is there. Completion can also be fenced to an active shift and to the location itself, using the same geofence clock-in already uses. If review is enabled, completing the work submits it instead of finishing it, and a reviewer accepts it or sends it back. A multi-approver policy and form or survey prerequisites are not supported.

No, by default. Separation of duties is on out of the box and applies everywhere work is reviewed — the review queue, bulk accept, the mobile app, the API, and the AI assistant. Administrators are not exempt. A tenant can turn the rule off for lower-risk work, but it still holds on any campaign that required photo or signature proof: evidence exists so that someone else can look at it.

The work is blocked, not waved through. A training check that cannot be completed is treated as a visible problem rather than as a pass, because an unconfirmable prerequisite is not the same as a confirmed one. A tenant that decides an outage must never stop the floor can switch that to allow, and a manager can record an accountable override on one specific piece of work — with a written reason kept permanently against it.

Three ways. My Day is a single ranked list rather than an inbox, and every row says why it is ranked where it is. There is a hard cap on how many items may present as critical to one person per day, so HQ cannot flag everything urgent. And before a campaign is sent, a workload gauge sums what that audience is already carrying across campaigns, ordinary tasks, unread must-reads and due training — so overload is visible at authoring time, not in a post-mortem.

Yes. Every campaign carries a decision history covering launch, closure, reassignments, handoffs, escalations, training overrides and reviews, with the actor and time on each row, plus a CSV export. Automatic decisions are marked as system rather than attributed to a person, and anything done through the AI assistant is flagged as AI while still naming the person it acted for. The history is retained even if the campaign itself is deleted.

Campaign titles and descriptions translate into each worker's profile language automatically. For the worker's critical path — the instructions, what proof is needed, the blocked-reason list, and a reviewer's send-back note — a tenant nominates up to two pilot languages. Translated content is labelled as machine translated and names the source language, and anything that cannot be translated falls back to the original rather than showing a half-translated screen.

Frontline Execution requires a license and is disabled by default. An administrator opts the business in from the Apps Marketplace, and can then control which surfaces are on — My Day, campaign authoring, and the coverage rollup are each independently switchable.
