Best For
- Technicians reviewing assigned work from the field.
- Field leads capturing closeout details and job proof.
- Dispatchers tracking status changes during the day.
Field Opus Mobile App
Give technicians a native mobile workflow for route visibility, job execution, time capture, checklists, photos, signatures, inventory actions, and offline-safe sync.
Field Opus is the native technician app connected to Service Opus. It is built around the work a field technician needs during the day: assigned route context, the next job, customer and site details, dispatch status, time clock actions, closeout proof, material execution, and a sync queue that keeps work moving when the device has poor connectivity.
Business Needs It Solves
- Less office dependency: Technicians can review assigned route and job context, update status, log notes, and capture proof without calling dispatch for every step.
- Cleaner job closeout: Checklists, signatures, photos, work summaries, documents, notes, materials, and time entries stay attached to the job record.
- Offline resilience: Dispatch status, checklist tasks, signatures, notes, time clock actions, photos, and inventory work can queue locally and sync later.
- Inventory accountability: Truck restock, transfers, purchase order receiving, staged kits, issue/return/install actions, and scan workflows connect field activity to inventory.
- Faster billing handoff: Completion proof, labor, material usage, and closeout requirements are visible before the office prepares the invoice.
How Field Opus Helps
- Today route board: The Today tab shows sync health, route stop counts, completed work, checklist progress, pending sync, active time entry, and the next stop when work is assigned.
- Jobs workspace: Technicians can filter active, all, and completed jobs, then open the job workspace for dispatch, checklists, handoff, materials, documents, photos, notes, activity, and completion.
- Dispatch workflow: Job cards expose field status transitions such as en route, arrived, working, paused, and completed, with directions, call, and text shortcuts.
- Native route map: Route pins are generated from current dispatch addresses and ordered by the route board.
- Time clock: Clock-in, clock-out, break tracking, job suggestions, and optional clock-in photos keep labor tied to technician and job context.
- Closeout proof: Required checklists, task notes, employee/customer signatures, technician notes, work summaries, photos, documents, and completion packets support clean closeout.
- Stockroom execution: Assigned truck warehouse, restock suggestions, transfers, purchase order receiving, staged kits, material issue/return/install, and barcode scans are available from the mobile workflow.
- Device controls: Offline staging, biometric login, background app lock, production diagnostics, large field type, glove mode, one-handed mode, and performance mode support real device usage.
Offline Completion Coverage
Field Opus is designed for field conditions where signal can drop during important work. The app keeps technician-critical updates staged locally and replays them when the connection is available.
Dispatch status
Route state changes queue locally with rollback protection.
Checklist tasks
Required task completion and technician notes replay in order.
Signatures
Employee and customer signatures remain attached to the checklist.
Technician notes
Job notes appear immediately and sync when the API is reachable.
Time clock
Clock in, clock out, and break actions are staged chronologically.
Evidence photos
Captured images persist on device until upload succeeds.
Inventory execution
Transfer scans and PO receipts queue locally and replay when connected.
Who Gets the Most Value
Technicians, field leads, dispatchers, service managers, and inventory coordinators benefit most. The app is strongest for businesses with mobile crews, multi-stop days, truck inventory, required closeout proof, or intermittent connectivity.
Best use: Pair Field Opus with Field Service, Job Management, Checklists, Time Tracking, Inventory, Documents & Media, and Invoicing & Payments.
