To **structure a field service operation**, everything the technician needs and produces has to work on a phone. A process designed for a desk will be filled in at a desk, hours later.

## What delay at the desk costs

The record stops describing what happened.

- Jobs written on paper and typed up in the evening
- Materials used and attributed from memory
- Photos taken on personal phones and never uploaded
- Status unknown to the office until the day ends

## What the operation needs

| Element                  | Why mobile                            |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
| **Job list**             | Technicians see their own assignments |
| **Completion checklist** | Ticked on site, not remembered        |
| **Photo capture**        | Evidence at the moment                |
| **Materials used**       | Recorded where they are consumed      |
| **Status change**        | Office informed immediately           |

## How to set it up in Jestor

1. Build the jobs table in **Jestor**, connected to clients and technicians.
2. Create the mobile layout from the desktop, with the primary action at the top.
3. Scope permissions so each technician sees their own jobs.
4. Add checklists and attachment fields for completion evidence.
5. Notify the office and the customer automatically on the status change.

## Why choose Jestor for field operations?

**Jestor** lets the mobile layout be built from the desktop while working fully on a phone, which removes the usual obstacle of configuring an app on a device.

Because permissions scope each technician to their own jobs, the mobile view stays short — which matters more on a phone than anywhere else.
