What is a good maintenance work order app for technicians?
One that puts the job, the unit and its history in the technician's hand. The FieldEx app shows the day's jobs and opens a unit's history from a QR scan. It runs the checklist and records photos and parts. Each job closes with the customer's e-signature and a PDF service report. PPM and breakdowns share one list.
FieldEx is built that way, for technicians who service and maintain equipment. From one app they see the day's jobs and scan an asset to open its history. They work through tasks and inspections and record photos, parts and readings.
Each job closes with a customer signature and a PDF report. Planned visits and breakdowns are handled the same way on site.
Can FieldEx replace our WhatsApp group for job photos?
Yes. Photos and videos are saved on the work order itself, marked up if needed and stamped with location and time. They stay with the job and the unit instead of in a chat thread. The office sees them on the job, and they appear in the service report.
Does the FieldEx app work in basements and plant rooms with no line?
Yes. Jobs and tasks can be downloaded and worked with no line, with check-ins, check-outs and travel synced once the phone reconnects.
Can the customer sign the service report on the technician's phone?
Yes. The customer signs on the phone at the end of the job, and the PDF service report can be shown or emailed on the spot.
What does the digital job sheet in FieldEx include?
The work order holds the customer and site, the unit worked on, and the fault and resolution. It also holds the tasks done and the time on each, and travel time. Parts used, readings and notes are on it too, with photos and videos and the customer's signature.
The PDF service report shows the job and unit details, the fault and resolution, and parts used. It also shows check-in and check-out times, the work done, attachments and the signature.
Can technicians scan a QR code to see a unit's service history?
Yes. A scan opens the unit's record with past jobs, maintenance plans and contracts, or starts the checklist or a new job on the spot. FieldEx also warns when a new job repeats recent work on the same unit.
Can technicians record parts used from their own stock?
Yes. FieldEx can hold a separate stock for each technician. Parts used come straight off that stock, and transfers to other technicians or the store are made on the phone with a movement history.
Does the app record travel time and time on site?
Yes. Technicians log the journey to each job, pausing where they stop, and check in and out of every task. Distance, travel time and time on site are all held on the job.
Can technicians follow a PPM checklist and raise follow-up jobs on site?
Yes. Scan the unit to open its checklist. Any finding that needs action turns into a follow-up job right away, and the results stay on the unit's record.
Can technicians upload inspection certificates from the app?
Yes, straight to the unit's record, as covered under Inspections and certificates closed on site. The coordinator back at the office sees the certificate as soon as it is uploaded, with no need to chase a photo on WhatsApp.
Can a technician close a job without finishing the required steps?
No. Required tasks must be completed before the job can close, and the procedure keeps steps in the order you set.
Can technicians see their shifts and apply for leave in the app?
Technicians apply for leave from the app and see whether it was approved, and managers see leave requests from their reporting line. Technicians can also see their own or their group's shift schedule.
Is the FieldEx app available in Bahasa Malaysia?
Yes. The FieldEx web and mobile apps are available in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, German and Spanish, and each user picks their own.
Most of the work is scanning, choosing and photographing rather than typing, and the job shows what the technician needs before they arrive. The web and mobile apps are available in English, Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese, German and Spanish, and each user picks their own.
Does every technician need a separate app license?
No. Every FieldEx license includes the mobile app, which runs on Android and iOS, and every license is priced the same for technicians and office users.
How long does it take to set up FieldEx?
There's no setup fee. Training is at your office or online, in Bahasa Malaysia or English, and your team can learn as it goes with guides, videos and the in-app AI assistant.
Customers, sites, units and past jobs can be uploaded. FieldEx helps with setup, and training is included. See Setup and Training.
Once we know your requirements and your data is ready, FieldEx can be implemented in as little as a week with standard features for small businesses. Larger setups and custom work take longer.
