Solution
Structured service documentation from the field
Most service evidence exists. It is simply spread across phones, messages, notebooks and memories.
No app. No customer account. No live video call.
How can field technicians document work more consistently?
Documentation is defined as a workflow rather than left to individual habit. The technician is prompted for the same evidence on every job, and the result is stored as one structured record: video, photos, answers, checklist responses, notes, owner and status.
The typical situation
Evidence is captured differently by every technician, and cannot be found when it is needed.
Who records the video
Technicians, site staff and customers, depending on the workflow.
What is captured
- Video and defined photos
- Structured question answers
- Checklist responses
- Readings and measurements
- Internal notes
- Status, owner and timestamps

- Service team reviews
- Resolve remotely or dispatch correctly
02 Field technician → Head office
