How it works

When you open the app on good signal it stores a snapshot of your jobs, routes, and customer details. Actions you take offline are queued and sent in order when you reconnect.

Works offline

  • Viewing Today, All my jobs, job details, and routes from the last snapshot (an Offline banner shows how old it is).
  • Start, Pause, Complete, On My Way (queued), notes, photos, expenses, materials, clock in and out.
  • Navigation to a stop (your maps app needs its own offline maps).

Needs signal

  • Seeing new or reassigned jobs, new routes, and messages from the office.
  • Customer texts (On My Way and Arrived are sent when you reconnect).
  • Training videos and links.

When signal returns

  1. 1

    Open the app and wait

    The pending badge counts down as queued actions send. The sync tray lists anything that failed with a Retry.

  2. 2

    If something stays pending

    Keep the app open on Wi-Fi for a minute. If an item still fails, tell the office what it was (job number and action); Crew Review on their side shows the job.
