Last week we talked about the five benefits of using a desktop for managing work orders, but what about using mobile devices?

In most cases, work order management (WOM) is best done from a desktop. This computer acts as the hub, sending information out to other users. For service-based businesses, the project manager or scheduler uses the desktop. Crews and others working off-site can access this information from their mobile device, using a streamlined version of the WOM software. While the mobile access isn’t as comprehensive as on a desktop, mobile users hold a wealth of information in their hands.

All WOM software offers different features, but let’s look at what users of Service Proz‘ mobile application can do from their phone.

• Check schedules
• See maps and routes to job sites
• Review and adjust project details
• Comment on project status
• Add before and after project photos
• Get client sign-offs on projects
• Mark jobs ready for billing

The Service Proz solution was made for small service-based businesses. Once the software is set up, the app’s many features will increase productivity and billable hours.
