Native-language texting and app experience
Texting feels like iMessage, but with seamless AI translation. Slang, typos, misspellings, and mixed-language messages come through clearly. The whole app also appears in each user's preferred language.
Team management for multilingual workforces
Run the team in every language.
Sermo is a team management app where everyone writes in their own language and every employee reads it clearly in theirs. It includes a ChatGPT-style AI assistant, assignment scheduling, GPS check-ins, time tracking, super-simple onboarding, and push notifications, all delivered in each user's preferred language.

Eight core features
Everything Sermo does is built around multilingual work.
ChatGPT-style manager assistant
Managers talk to Sermo like a real assistant. They describe what they want, and Sermo creates assignments, messages employees, checks schedules, or handles other manager workflows inside the app.
Translated coworker communication
Employees get the same smooth translated texting experience with coworkers, groups, and All Staff chats inside the company workspace.
Employee assignment calendars
Every employee has a personal calendar showing their assignments. They can check it anytime and get notified as soon as new work is added.
GPS check-ins
Employees check in with one tap, sending the manager a pinned map location as proof they arrived. Sermo can remind them when an assignment is about to start.
Time tracking
Employees clock in and out for hourly work. Managers get accurate timesheets that can be emailed or downloaded for review.
Simple employee onboarding
Managers invite employees with a link. Employees click it, enter their name and preferred language, and join the company workspace.
Push notifications
Sermo keeps everyone updated with notifications for messages, assignments, approvals, check-ins, and time tracking.
Talk to the app
Managers do not need to hunt through screens.
The assistant is built like a command center. A manager can type a normal sentence, Sermo resolves the employee, date, group, or workflow, and the app performs the action. If something is ambiguous, Sermo asks a short follow-up before it changes anything.
"Assign cleaning 110 Washington every Monday to Jen."
Creates a recurring assignment, adds it to Jen's calendar, and notifies her.
"Text All Staff that the job moved to 3."
Sends a translated All Staff message that each employee reads in their own language.
"Who is clocked in right now?"
Pulls live workspace information from the timesheet system.
Proof of arrival
Check-ins capture one location snapshot when an employee taps the button. Managers see a map pin and can open it in the phone's native map app.
Hourly records
Time tracking is separate from check-ins. Employees clock in and out, while managers get simple timesheets for payroll review.
Reminders that prevent misses
Sermo can remind employees about assignments, check-ins, and time tracking so work does not disappear into missed texts.
Field work
Location, time, and assignments stay tied together.
Sermo is not trying to be payroll software or a giant field-service suite. It is the lightweight layer that keeps multilingual workers aligned: what to do, when to do it, where to go, whether they arrived, and how many hours they worked.
Simple setup
Buy once. Sermo builds the workspace.
1. Purchase the company plan
Checkout collects the business name and manager phone number.
2. The manager gets a private invite
Sermo creates the workspace and texts the manager the setup link.
3. Employees join by link
Employees enter their name and preferred language, then wait for manager approval.
Give every employee the same clear workday.
They can write naturally. They can read clearly. Managers can run the app by talking to Sermo.
