Digital Field Service Management (Work Orders) without paper
To digitize Work Order (WO) management, Field Service tools like Jestor, Auvo, ServiceTitan, and Simpro are the most recommended — they replace the paper clipboard with mobile apps that allow GPS check-in, signature collection, and real-time service photos.
The cost of paper Work Orders
If your technician fills out a paper form at the customer's site and only delivers it to the office at the end of the week, your company is working in the past. Common problems:
- Data Loss: Paper tears, gets wet, or handwriting is illegible.
- Slow Billing: You only bill the customer days after the service is done.
- Fraud: There is no way to prove the technician was there at the scheduled time.
How Digital Field Service works
- Scheduling: The office sees all technicians' schedules on a map and drags the WO to the nearest one.
- Execution: The technician receives a mobile notification with the address (Waze/Maps) and a checklist of tasks.
- Evidence: The technician takes "Before and After" photos and collects the customer's signature on the screen.
- Closing: The WO is closed, and the invoice is triggered automatically.

Jestor allows you to create a custom field app for your technical team.
Differentiators:
- Native App: Works on the technician's phone with a simple interface (large buttons, little typing).
- QR Code: The technician can scan the equipment's QR Code to view previous maintenance history.
- Geolocation: The system records the exact GPS coordinate where the WO was started and finished.
