Field service apps integrated with NetSuite: web, Android and iPhone

ScalaCode built web, Android and iPhone apps for a field service company to replace its Service Pro software. Field workers view jobs, complete inspections, add photos and notes, and everything syncs with NetSuite through a secured backend.

The client

A field service company running on NetSuite

The client's field workers used Service Pro software to manage and complete job assignments. The company wanted simpler web and mobile apps that kept every job, inspection and photo in sync with NetSuite.

The challenge

Where the old process slowed field teams down

1

Bloated software

Service Pro was overloaded with unnecessary fields and tabs, which made routine jobs slow to complete.

2

Manual data preparation

Staff exported data from NetSuite into Excel and created a JotForm link for every job, which took time and invited errors.

3

Manual re-entry into NetSuite

Getting collected data back into NetSuite needed heavy manual work and led to discrepancies.

4

Secure data exchange

Data had to move between systems automatically without risking its integrity or security.

The solution

Web and mobile apps synced with NetSuite

React.js on the web, Flutter on mobile and a Node.js backend that handles every exchange with NetSuite.

  1. 01

    Job assignment management

    Field workers see assigned jobs with details, status updates and customer equipment information.

  2. 02

    Simplified inspection forms

    Inspection and questionnaire forms capture equipment details, results and notes with fewer fields and tabs.

  3. 03

    Photo uploads

    Workers take photos and upload them inside the app.

  4. 04

    Automated NetSuite sync

    Data synchronises between the apps and NetSuite in real time, with no manual exports.

  5. 05

    Secured backend

    A Node.js backend on AWS manages the automated data exchange and protects data integrity.

  6. 06

    Mobile and desktop access

    The same workflows run on Android, iPhone and the web.

The results

Field jobs completed and synced without spreadsheets

Field workers complete jobs in simpler apps on their phones or desktops, and the data reaches NetSuite automatically. Excel exports, per-job JotForm links and manual re-entry are gone from the process.
