Field service
From dispatch to done, with nothing lost in between
Franexis field service runs on jobs, work orders, and service lines with a validated status journey. Dispatchers see the board, technicians see their day, and every status change can notify the client automatically.
Capabilities
What Field Service Management covers
Dispatch board & schedule
Assign work orders from a dispatch board, manage the calendar, and give every technician a clean My Jobs view of their day.
Validated status journey
Work orders move En route → On site → Working → Done through a validated transition matrix — no skipped steps, no ambiguous states.
Labor timers & time entry
Technicians start and stop labor timers or enter time manually; entries round to your configured increment and create linked labor service lines automatically.
Job photos with EXIF timestamps
Photos attach to the job with their taken-at EXIF timestamps preserved — documentation that stands up to carrier scrutiny.
Inspection & completion checklists
Structured inspection and job-completion flows warn when something's missing without blocking the crew.
Invoice handoff
Completed work orders hand off to invoicing with their service lines intact, feeding royalty accrual and QuickBooks sync downstream.
Client notifications at every milestone
Six lifecycle moments — scheduled, technician assigned, en route, on site, complete, invoice ready — can trigger automated email and SMS to the client, with per-contact opt-in preferences and STOP suppression handled for you. Status changes made from the mobile app or the API notify too, because the trigger lives in the database.
Teams and technicians
Organize crews into teams, manage technician rosters, and scope every technician's access to their assigned work — enforced by row-level security, not honor system.
FAQ
Field Service Management questions
How do technicians use Franexis in the field?
Through the Franexis technician mobile app (iOS and Android via Expo) or the web My Jobs view — a grouped list of overdue, today, and upcoming work with tap-to-call, tap-to-navigate, the status journey, timers, notes, and photos.
Does the client know when a tech is on the way?
Yes — the en-route status change can automatically send the client an email or SMS, along with five other lifecycle moments, all configurable per tenant.
Can we require an inspection before completion?
Completion checklists warn on missing items by design — surfacing gaps without blocking a crew that has a good reason to proceed.
