What does building a Field Service app include?
Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.
Discovery & Architecture
Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.
UI/UX Design
Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.
Development & QA
Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.
Launch & Support
User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.
Key features of your Field Service app
Job Assignment & Dispatch
Assign jobs to technicians in real time and push instant notifications so crews know their next stop the moment it's confirmed. Dispatchers see every open, in-progress, and completed job on a single dashboard.
Mobile Job Forms & Checklists
Replace paper forms with digital checklists techs complete on-site — including photo capture, signature collection, and parts used. All data syncs back to your central records the moment Wi-Fi or cellular is available.
GPS & Arrival Tracking
Log technician arrival and departure times automatically so managers can verify on-site hours and customers receive accurate service windows. Location stamps attach to each job record for accountability.
Customer Communication & Sign-Off
Send automated status updates to customers when a tech is en route, on-site, and job-complete. Collect digital signatures directly in the app so every completed job has a documented approval trail.
