What is a digital job card?
A digital job card replaces the paper document used to record a field service visit. The technician completes a guided form on a phone or tablet, attaches the required evidence and obtains approval as part of the same record. Managers and customers receive consistent information without waiting for handwriting to be interpreted or retyped.
What the workflow can capture
- Job, site, customer, asset or vehicle identifiers
- Arrival, departure, travel and work times
- Pre-work and post-work checks
- Work performed, parts used and technician comments
- Before-and-after photographs
- Barcode scans, GPS location and timestamps
- Technician and customer signatures
- Outstanding work or follow-up requirements
Where digital job cards help
The strongest use cases involve field teams that repeat a known service process and need reliable proof of completion. This may include equipment installation, repair, preventative maintenance, fleet work, site support and customer service calls.
Required fields and validation can reduce avoidable gaps. Conditional sections keep the form relevant to the task, while offline capture helps technicians continue working when mobile coverage is poor.
Reporting after completion
The finished record can be used to generate a standard job document with the captured details, photographs and signatures. Distribution rules are configured around the business process—for example, sending a completed report to an internal team, a customer or both.
Questions to bring to a demo
- Which information is most often missing from current job cards?
- What evidence does the customer or manager require?
- Who needs the completed report and how quickly?
- Does the technician need access to existing customer or asset data?
