Questions
Things people ask
Which platforms will the application support?
We build cross-platform applications using frameworks like React Native or Flutter. This ensures the app works seamlessly on both iOS and Android devices.
How does the offline mode function?
The app downloads assigned work orders to the local storage of the device. Technicians make edits locally, and the system automatically syncs the data to the central server once an internet connection is restored.
Can the app integrate with our existing dispatch software?
Yes. We can connect the mobile application to your current CRM or dispatch system using standard REST APIs to ensure data flows between the field and the back office.
How are photos and signatures stored?
Photos and digital signatures are captured through the device hardware and securely uploaded to cloud storage platforms like AWS S3. They are then linked directly to the specific work order record.
Can technicians generate invoices in the field?
The app can be configured to calculate parts and labor totals. Once the customer signs off on the work, the system can generate a PDF invoice and email it directly to the client.
How do push notifications work for new jobs?
We integrate services like Firebase Cloud Messaging to send alerts. When a dispatcher assigns a new job, the technician receives an immediate notification on their lock screen.
Is the application secure for handling customer data?
We implement standard security practices including encrypted data transmission and secure authentication protocols to protect customer information and service records.
