DutyMan on Mobile Phones

Communications technology is moving fast.
DutyMan makes it easy for you to keep pace.

To encourage the younger generation to turn out and do their duties you need to communicate in their own language. And for a large and growing segment of your club's membership the mobile phone is their main channel of communication.

Calendar Feeds

DutyMan publishes two calendar feeds to which your members can subscribe and receive current listings of both club events and their own duties. The most effective use of this technology is to place up-to-date information on your members' smartphones.

The Event Feed publishes a calendar of all events in a club’'s duty roster.

The Duty Feed publishes the duties for an individual member. Details include date, time, event, duty type, instructions and links to DutyMan web pages for further information and actions.

Mobile Web App

  • At-a-glance summaries of upcoming events
  • Complete month-by-month listings of events
  • Details of each member's own duties with dates, times, instructions and a list of all those involved

Plus your members can use their phones to

  • Confirm that they can do their duties
  • Request duty swaps if they can't do their duties
  • Contact fellow members by phone or email directly from the DutyMan web pages

Alternate Email Address

More smartphones means more emails sent to and from them. People can set their Alternate Email to their phone's email address and get reminders and swap requests delivered wherever they are.

Covid-19: How DutyMan Can Help

Free use for charities and volunteer groups

Many charities, health departments and medical practices have found that DutyMan works well for organising volunteers and duty rotas. If you are part of, or know of, a group helping out during the coronavirus pandemic and who need a quick and easy way to marshal volunteers then they can start using DutyMan straightaway with a free trial. Trials are nominally for 90 days but we promise to extend them indefinitely for free to support people involved in Covid-19 response.

Payment Holiday

We appreciate that some of our customers will suffer financially in the coming months so our message is simpleif you can't pay your subscription right now, just don't We won’t turn anybody off and we’ll sort it out in an amicable way when this is all over.

Member Communication

It is now particularly important to get information to your members quickly and electronically. The DutyMan Mailer can be really useful so we have now made it available to all free of charge during this shutdown period. Enable it at >Set Up >Additional Features. If you need help with setting it up do get in touch.

Also Events & Duties Manager has a quick way to cancel an event and automatically advise those on duty.

How you can help us

If you are not running events right now please don't send duty reminders! You can delete or cancel the event or stop sending reminders altogether. That will free up capacity for more essential emails.

If you need to get in touch please email support@dutyman.biz rather than phone. Emails provide a written record and enable us to work more efficiently.

And finally, we expect the DutyMan service itself to be unaffected by Covid-19.

Thank you and do stay safe and well.
The DutyMan Team
