Work in the field. Even when there is no signal.

Sync today’s jobs or orders fast. Chat with your team about work and customers. Make notes that sync. Find assets or customers on the map. Search your catalog locally — even without a signal.

iOS and Android development builds

Demo: a technician saves a JSON document to Couchbase Lite on the phone, then it syncs through Sync Gateway to a laptop, ERP, and tablet.

What you get

Five things you use every shift.

Sync

Easy, fast Today

Today’s jobs and orders land on the phone and go back up when you have a signal. Green dot when you are connected.

Chat

Talk about the job

Message the team about jobs and customers. Tag a work order or order. Completing a job does not freeze the thread.

Notes

Write it down

Make notes on the phone. They sync with the rest of your work — still there if you were in a basement.

Maps

Find assets or customers

Pins come from the local database, so they still show in airplane mode. The street map needs network.

Stock

Search locally

Search your catalog of products or assets on the device. No waiting on a warehouse lookup to type a SKU.

One app, three modes

Same phone. Different today board.

A company turns on the modes it needs. Conflict rules stay the same: copy inbound, freeze on complete, amendments for forgotten facts.

Assets

Company kit

Jon Hale inspects, repairs, and moves pumps and valves. Map pins stay on the phone in airplane mode.

Customer

On-site service

Maya Chen finishes a job, then writes a new order — maybe a new customer — without a card terminal.

Walk a day →

Sales

Route sales

Priya Shah sells from catalog prices, delivers, and goes to the next stop. Map tab stays hidden.

Three modes of the same phone app: assets, customer, sales

How work is designed

You never edit the ticket the office sent.

Dispatch — or you, on the phone — can create a job ticket. Labor happens on a copy. Completing freezes that copy.

1
Start work copies inbound to your outbound document. Inbound stays read-only.
2
Work offline — photos, parts, notes, employee chat, asset map. Each save appends history (what changed, when, where).
3
Complete freezes the copy. The office owns it. Forgot a photo? Add a follow-up sheet that points at the original.
4
Submit / sync pushes your copy. If they reassigned the job in a basement, Today shows Reassigned — your paper still goes up.
Copy-on-write: inbound ticket, your copy, freeze on complete, amendment if you forgot something

Sync status

A dot next to the clock. Not another card.

Today keeps replication status on the clock row, immediately after the time.

Demo has no replicator, so Today shows a yellow dot and no elapsed/count. Other tabs use a one-line bar: Connected, Not connected, N waiting to send, or Local only.
