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 full team management app where every employee can work in their own language. Managers get translated messaging, AI-assisted scheduling, GPS check-ins, timesheets, time off, payroll exports, forms, document upload, e-signature, and push notifications in one clean workspace.
AI translation
Manager assistant
Operations toolkit
Click inside the phone. This is a safe fake workspace demo, not a real account.
Twelve core features
A complete operating system for multilingual teams.
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 can review, edit, approve, reject, and prepare clean payroll-ready records.
Time off requests
Employees request time off, managers see balances before approving, and approved full days automatically make that employee unavailable on the calendar.
Payroll exports
Managers map employee payroll IDs, choose a provider format, and send approved timesheet exports without turning payroll prep into spreadsheet cleanup.
Forms and checklists
Build workplace forms for inspections, job notes, acknowledgments, and routine follow-ups. Teams complete them in the same workspace they already use.
Document upload and e-signature
Upload a PDF, place required signature, text, number, or date fields directly on the document, and send it to the right employees for completion.
Signed document archive
Managers can open signed employee copies, email signed PDFs, and keep completed records on their own device instead of storing private documents on a public server.
Simple employee onboarding
Managers invite employees with a link. Employees click it, enter their name and preferred language, and join the company workspace.
Talk to the app
Tell the AI manager assistant what you need, and Sermo handles the work.
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.
"Email me timesheets every Friday at 5."
Creates a scheduled report so managers do not have to remember the same export every week.
Operations
Run the daily work, the admin work, and the paperwork from one place.
Sermo is built for teams where the real work happens away from a desk. Managers can keep people aligned, collect proof of work, prepare payroll, approve time off, and finish required documents without stitching together five separate tools.
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 review hours, edit mistakes, approve records, and prepare payroll exports.
Reports that run themselves
Scheduled reports let a manager ask for recurring timesheet emails in plain English, then Sermo handles the weekly reminder work.
Time off with calendar impact
Managers see remaining balances before they approve a request. Once approved, the employee is blocked as unavailable for those full days.
PDFs employees can complete
Required document fields appear directly on the PDF. Employees tap each field, fill it out, and save a signed copy the manager can review.
Forms for repeatable work
Use forms for cleaning notes, visit records, inspections, safety checks, or any repeatable workflow that should not disappear into a chat thread.
Simple setup
Start a company workspace for $49/month and invite employees in minutes.
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 chat, schedules, time, forms, documents, and payroll prep in one place.
