Buyer workflow
Site teams and the office staff who coordinate their jobs
Case study / Construction & field services
Field Operations System
A mobile-first job workflow for site teams: assignments, photos, signatures, labour and materials can be captured offline and synced with the office once connected.
Project context
What this workflow is designed to address
A practical explanation of the task shown in the images. Details below describe the showcased solution rather than a verified financial or performance result.
Operational challenge
Assignments, photos, signatures, labour hours and materials need to remain connected to the job, even when connectivity is unreliable.
How the screens connect
The illustrated journey starts with an office assignment, continues on a mobile job sheet and captures updates that can sync for office review.
How the screens work together

- Jobs assigned and updated from the field
- Photo and signature capture on site
- Hours and materials logged against each job
- Works on any phone, including offline
Workflow step 01 / 07
Office job assignment
The office starts by assigning a job and its details. Field staff can then work from the same assignment rather than separate messages.
Workflow step 02 / 07
Mobile job sheet
The mobile job sheet puts the work order on a phone-sized interface to support use at the site.
Workflow step 03 / 07
Site photos and signature
The field capture screen includes site photos and signatures as part of the job record, keeping the evidence linked to the task.
Workflow step 04 / 07
Labour hours and materials
Hours and materials are logged against the relevant job so the office can see the work that went into it.
Workflow step 05 / 07
Offline capture and sync
Offline capture stores updates locally when connectivity is unavailable; those updates can sync once the connection returns.
Workflow step 06 / 07
Office progress updates
The office view brings field updates into a progress overview, reducing the need to assemble status from separate messages.
Workflow step 07 / 07
Complete job workflow
The final illustration shows the route from assignment to field updates and office review as one connected process.

What the case study establishes
Screens illustrate the proposed workflow including offline capture; they do not quantify productivity gains or demonstrate every device under field conditions.
