Field Operations

The field operative's day. The survey. The DNO. All on the phone.

An offline-first mobile app, adaptive surveys with photo and OCR capture, and DNO submissions straight from the survey data, every step in the field flowing into the central job record.

MOBILE APP

Offline-first. Photo evidence. Customer signatures on-site.

Field operatives open the app, see today's jobs, navigate to site, fill the survey form, capture photos and signatures, scan meter labels with OCR, and mark the job complete with an outcome, all of it working without signal. The moment connectivity returns, everything syncs.

SURVEYS & ASSESSMENTS

Only the questions that matter for this job.

Adaptive surveys with conditional logic mean an EV charger enquiry only asks EV-relevant questions; a solar enquiry only asks solar ones. Multi-image fields, floorplan drawing on tablet, barcode and OCR scanning, every input the field operative needs to capture real evidence without re-typing.

DNO & REGULATORY

Submit the DNO from the survey. Track it on the job.

ENA Direct Connect submissions auto-generated from survey data. Smart field mapping puts MPAN, photos and serial numbers in the right boxes. Image optimisation prevents file-size rejections. Two-way comment thread on the job means DNO correspondence stops disappearing into someone's inbox.

ALSO IN FIELD OPERATIONS

And a few more things the field operative's day relies on.

Floorplan drawing

Field operative sketches the site layout on tablet; saves to the job.

OCR scanning

Point the phone at a meter or MPAN sticker; the field auto-fills.

Background sync

Auto-syncs on app launch and signal restoration; only changes pull down.

On-device signature capture

Customer signs on the field operative's phone at the install; embeds into the cert.

BUILT FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS

Two more capabilities for OEMs, utilities and franchises.

ENTERPRISE

Installer Network

Recruit installers with bulk-invite links, route jobs by service area, share scope across the network, run performance dashboards on the whole roster.

THE END-TO-END FLOW

Field operative captures it. The platform turns it into the customer's certificate.

Photos go into the survey field. The survey field maps into the DNO application. The DNO submission status updates the job. The job's data generates the install certificate. The certificate joins the customer handover pack. The customer gets emailed a polished file. Same data, captured once on-site, lands in five downstream documents without anyone re-typing it.

The point isn’t that any one of these steps is novel: it’s that the whole sequence runs without a manual hand-off between field operative, office and accounts.
