FIELDFIX makes light work of customising mobile forms to suit your business needs

When capturing data in the field there are two key points that should rank high on every companies list no matter what type of business they are in. One, make sure your software allows you to capture the right information from the field that fits with your business perfectly. Two, if there are any bespoke requirements that your business needs to explore, make sure the software is flexible enough to cater for customisation without costing the earth and taking an eternity to deliver. The good news is you don’t have to put up with the “more or less” answer because smart job software is built to deal with such key areas of importance.

FIELDFIX mobile forms allow you to capture exactly what you need in the field using mobile devices. With FIELDFIX Custom Fields feature you can add multiple custom fields to any form, allowing you to capture data in the field, fast, efficient and without the hassle of paperwork. It’s that easy!

Custom Form Mobile

Here are just a few examples of mobile forms we have developed for our customers:

  • Hazard ID forms
  • Audit forms
  • Vehicle check
  • Site Visitor Log
  • EWP daily check list (Elevated Work Platforms)

And with the key benefit of FIELDFIX custom forms being flexibility for our customers and the ability to update any mobile form be it Job Cards, Health & Safety reporting, Audit reporting and much more, the list just keeps on growing.

So, when it comes to choosing the right job software for your company, do your homework. Because not all job software solutions deliver what they promise. And remember Customised Reporting from the field doesn’t have to be hard. Contact us today and let FIELDFIX help you make light work of it.

“You can’t do today’s job with yesterday’s methods and be in business tomorrow”

When it comes to managing jobs in the field the smart way FIELDFIX gives customers the flexibility they need.

First there were paper Timesheets, and then came mobile Timesheets. FIELDFIX goes that extra step further when driving the efficiencies of mobile information capture.  Listening to our customers, who wanted the ability to work even smarter in the field, we have expanded the capabilities of FIELDFIX Job Management to include capturing Time on FIELDFIX Job Cards.

This means instead of completing separate Timesheets and Job Cards on mobile devices, field crew now have the flexibility to record both at the same time on just one FIELDFIX mobile form.

The advantages of using FIELDFIX Job Management really do speak for themselves. Reduced administration all round as well as increased work efficiencies throughout the business. Site supervisors can manage jobs easier in the field without the hassle of paperwork.  But for those cases when it makes sense for separate Timesheet only recording, FIELDFIX mobile Timesheets still do the trick.

 “You can’t do today’s job with yesterday’s methods and be in business tomorrow.”

Staying in the know doesn’t have to be a complicated affair

There’s one fact we can all agree on, and that is the more you understand your business, the better decisions you can make. Having said that, with so many job software solutions available today, how do you decide which one is right for your business? For many contractors the desire is definitely there to make the change and embrace new technology, but where to start when managing your daily business seems to soak up all of your time?

At FIELDFIX we prefer the practical approach to doing business. Unlike many Apps out there today that leave it to the user to get to grips with the product, FIELDFIX job management is not just about the software. We recognise that as well as providing smart software solutions, customers value training and ongoing support.

Moreover, we understand that when you have a question, you need a quick response, and that automated “ticket” responses can not only be impersonal but very frustrating when you need an answer fast! That’s why when you call FIELDFIX support, you can be sure to get a reliable, personal response and we won’t keep you waiting.

Introducing new technologies is often a daunting enough experience for most companies big and small. When customers join the FIELDFIX family we want to make the transition to a new way of doing things as smooth as possible, so they can kick back and start enjoying the benefits in no time at all. Because “staying in the know” really doesn’t have to be a complicated affair.

A no-nonsense, practical approach to training that works for your team as well as your budget

From its very beginnings FIELDFIX software was designed to work in any business. Built to offer mobile workforces from all kinds of industries the ability to not only capture but manage data from even the most remote places – the smart way.

As a result of our flexible design approach, we are finding that FIELDFIX is appealing to all sizes as well as all sorts of businesses, near and far. In fact, once they learn what FIELDFIX has to offer and just how easy it is to get up and running and start working smarter not harder; new customers are quick to jump on board! Just this week we welcomed a new customer on board by the end of their first demo, all done remotely.

But it’s not just our software that’s flexible in its design and set up. All too often we find software providers can over complicate the start-up process. At FIELDFIX we prefer the no-nonsense, practical approach to training and support and have put a lot of effort into making it as easy as possible to implement FIELDFIX.

We also understand that downtime is money wasted so when it comes to getting started with FIELDFIX, we guarantee to have your office and field crew up and running and working productively in no time.

What our customers want is a no-nonsense, practical approach to training that works for their team as well as their budget. Who can argue with that? It makes perfect sense to the FIELDFIX team! And once we’ve got you up and running our support doesn’t stop there. We positively encourage our customers old and new, to pick up the phone and talk to us, no matter how small the question may seem. After all, that’s what our support team is here for.

FIELDFIX support – we’re not just about the software, we’ve got your back.

The future looks bright

After an exciting round of trips to Christchurch this month we are delighted to welcome new customers to the FIELDFIX family. More and more we’re hearing how we are really good at getting the right information, to the right people, from anywhere, any time, with the emphasis always on flexibility for our customers and the ability to customise any mobile form fast! In the latest visits it was rewarding to see both old and new customers alike making the most this flexibility by utilising our FIELDFIX Custom Fields feature and adapting the FIELDFIX mobile forms to suit their business needs, both for the Agricultural Spraying and Asphalt Industries.

With more trips planned next month, it’s great to see FIELDFIX Job Management appealing to a diverse range of businesses from civil and construction to energy and many more. We are always pleased to gain first hand feedback from the people who use our software and the responses continue to be very encouraging. Above all, it’s good to know that our founding philosophy and vision for FIELDFIX job software is hitting the mark. I guess it’s fair to say Peter Cooper, GM and co-founder of FIELDFIX with over 20 years’ experience in the civil, construction and utilities contracting industry really did know what he was talking about when he said the market was needing:

“Smart job management software that the fat fingers and thumbs out there will want to use. The coal face users don’t need pretty, they need practical.”

Thanks Pete! And thanks to our customers for their continued support and honest feedback, and for helping us make FIELDFIX much more than just a job management system.

Why software design should be driven by the people who use it

“People who designed this system, don’t actually use it” – Just the other day whilst in the bank I heard this very line and it got me thinking just how often you hear people around you saying this about their business software when they are struggling to get their daily job done and their “specifically designed” system just isn’t playing ball!

At FIELDFIX we take a very different approach to software design because we strongly believe our customers shouldn’t have to put up with job management software that “more or less” does what they need it to.

From the very beginnings FIELDFIX product development has focussed on the practical needs of field crew, with the people who use the system driving software development. Even the green background of FIELDFIX job software field app was chosen for its practical benefit. After trialling it in action at the coalface the guys in the field gave GREEN the big thumbs up for being the most practical colour for visibility that worked in all weather conditions. When the hot sun was beating down on the devices, or the skies were on downpour mode, the green screen remained easy to view and allowed the guys to keep working smart in the field.

To reference the great Steve Jobs:

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

The FIELDFIX team couldn’t agree more. With FIELDFIX mobile job management software, everything we do starts with the design. Get that right, and the rest will follow. And above all, listen to your customers’ needs because they are the ones who will be using your software!

FIELDFIX Customisation gives client what they need in just 3 days. Now that’s fast!

Once again it goes to show that software customisation doesn’t need to take an age to deliver, nor cost the earth. FIELDFIX received a new enquiry from an Agricultural Contractor on the Thursday. A one-man band, he was after a smart software solution that would replace his current cumbersome paper forms in the field and allow him to capture chemical use and quantities on the job quickly, efficiently and without the pain of paperwork.

Using our FIELDFIX Custom Forms feature our technical team were able to turn it around and get back to the customer by Monday, before they’d even had a chance to start the new working week. Now that’s fast!

FIELDFIX gets smart with mobile Custom Forms for the Agricultural Spraying Industry

Gone are paper forms and hand-written records of chemicals used, rate per hectare, water application rate, how it was applied, temperature, wind speed, a wind speed rating, humidity level, weather conditions, paddock numbers and the list goes on! With some swift FIELDFIX customisation all this information can be captured using dropdown boxes, picklists and easy to enter fields on a tablet. FIELDFIX makes light work of what was previously a messy paper job and records all necessary information required for billing and reporting in the Agricultural spraying industry. No more muddy bits of paper lost under the seat!

Add to that the benefit of FIELDFIX job management and the total flexibility it offers customers to scale up or down depending on their business needs, for example if you’re going through a growth patch or increased seasonal demand such as the spraying season, FIELDFIX will keep you working smarter not harder.

So it really goes to show, when it comes to software customisation don’t be fooled into believing you have to be kept waiting, because smart job software is built to deal with such key areas of importance. And remember customised reporting from the field doesn’t have to be hard.

Contact us today and let FIELDFIX help you make light work of it.

When it comes to software providers think “partners, not replacements”

In a recent article from CIO.com, Thor Olavsrud discussed the reasons why more and more businesses are turning over certain IT functions to managed service providers, allowing internal IT staff to focus their energies on strategic IT projects. With a collaborative working model and the focus being on “partners, not replacements” this practical approach certainly rings true with the FIELDFIX philosophy of “working smarter not harder” to get the job done.

These days, many software platforms try to be all things to everybody and end up being the jack of all trades and the master of none. At FIELDFIX we take a very different view. Our philosophy is built around utilising the best solution for each business requirement rather than a “take over the world” approach.

We like a practical, no-nonsense way of working and with over 20 years’ experience in the software industry, our customers know they can rely on us to deliver reliable job management software that does what they need it to do. Likewise, we enjoy working closely with our customers and always welcome their product innovation ideas, because we respect that our customers are the experts in their industry.

Working collaboratively and recognising the benefits that this brings definitely gets the thumbs up from the FIELDFIX team every time. After all, with clear communication and understanding about what the service provider’s roles and responsibilities are, what’s not to like about sound collaboration and like-minded companies working together to get the best result for both the business and its people.
