EC Solutions is an engineering and technology services provider based in Latin America, specializing in new technologies within the complex airport ecosystem. Their field technicians handle installations, preventive maintenance, and equipment replacements across multiple sites. Despite decades of technical expertise, the team struggled to keep accurate records of replaced parts and how equipment components connected across client sites.

THE CHALLENGES

‍■ Manual Record Updates: Whenever a part or a full machine was replaced, someone had to manually update the records in the office to keep track of how components were linked together and their service history.

■ Errors During Multi-Part Swaps: Replacing several parts during a single site visit often led to mistakes, missing records and incomplete logs of what was replaced.

■ No Clear View of Returned Equipment: Once equipment was removed from a site, there was no real-time way to see which storage bin it went to, or when its status changed to "not in use”.

■ Inconsistent Sign-Offs and Reporting: Without a standard way to record why something failed (wear and tear vs damage, for example), and without consistent technician or customer sign-offs, it was hard to keep clean records for audits.

THE SOLUTION

FieldEx Solutions

FieldEx gave EC Solutions a simple digital process for replacing equipment, letting technicians swap parts, update records automatically, and manage returned inventory directly from the field. 

■ Instant Job Creation via QR Code: Technicians scan a QR code on the equipment using the FieldEx mobile app, which instantly creates a dedicated "Asset Replacement" job.

■ Simple Multi-Part Replacement Forms: A mobile form lets technicians tap "add" to record one or several part replacements in a single submission. This eliminates the need for multiple separate reports.

■ Automatic Record Updates: As soon as the form is submitted, FieldEx automatically updates the equipment records, carrying over site and customer details to the newly installed part. Any linked parent-child asset relationships are also updated automatically, so office staff no longer need to manually search for and update linked assets.

■ Automatic Status and Location Updates: Removed equipment is automatically marked as "not in use" and assigned to the correct return bin selected by the technician in the field.

■ Digital Sign-Offs and Complete Records: Technicians and customers sign off digitally, and the reason for replacement is logged automatically. This creates a full, timestamped record of the entire swap.

Before & After: Operational Transformation

Operational Area Before FieldEx With FieldEx
Equipment Record Update Updating equipment records after a replacement required manual work back at the office. Records update automatically the moment a replacement form is submitted.
Multi-Part Replacement Replacing several parts in one visit often led to errors and incomplete records. A single mobile form lets technicians log multiple part replacements accurately in one go.
Returned Equipment Tracking No real-time way to see where removed equipment went or its current status. Removed equipment is automatically marked “not in use” and linked to the correct return bin.
Sign-Offs & Failure Logging Inconsistent sign-offs and no standard way to record why equipment failed. Digital sign-offs and structured failure reasons are captured and logged automatically.
Job Initiation Starting a replacement job required manual paperwork or office coordination. Scanning a QR code on-site instantly creates the replacement job.

■ Clear View of Returned Equipment: Instant status updates and automatic bin assignments give the team full visibility into where every piece of equipment is.

■ Faster Fieldwork: QR code scanning and simple mobile forms let technicians complete even the most complex, multi-part replacements in minutes.
