Dispatch by phone
Work goes to whoever answers first, not whoever is nearest or free.
Field service app development
Field service apps for crews, dispatchers and the customers they serve.
Jobs that live in phone calls, quotes that are guessed, and "it's done" with no proof: we replace that with one system where the office, the crew and the customer read the same job. Built from two field products we have shipped, SnowGrid and PropFix.
What breaks without a system
Field work is coordinated by whoever keeps chasing it.
Quotes by guesswork
When nobody measures the job, margin swings from job to job.
"Done" is a claim
Without before and after evidence on the job record, every disputed invoice is one word against another.
Nothing is searchable
Open jobs, owed payments and history live in messages and memory.
What we build
The parts every field service app needs.
Jobs and work orders
Raise a job against a property or site, assign it, and watch its status move without calling anyone.
Dispatch
Assign by who is nearest and free, with live positions on a map when the work needs it.
Proof of work
Before and after photos attached to the job itself, so the evidence is on the record months later.
Quotes from measurement
Measure an area on a satellite map and price it from the company's own rates.
Offline-first
Crews keep working without signal; the app syncs later and says when it last did. How offline-first works.
Roles and payments
Office, crew and customer each get their own app view, with payouts and escrow where money is involved.

One to two weeks. The workflow map, feature priorities, technical direction and a fixed quote for the build. You own the output whether or not we build it.
First release: $12,000 to $18,000
8 to 12 weeks for a focused feature set, paid against milestones.
Operational platform: $20,000 to $35,000
12 to 16 weeks for multi-role systems with dispatch, approvals, live tracking or payments, shipped in focused releases.
You own the code
On final payment you own the source code, repositories, store listings and backend accounts. No lock-in.
FAQ
Questions people ask first.
Does the app work without signal?
Yes. We build offline-first: work is recorded on the phone and synced when the connection returns, and the app shows its own sync status so a field worker can tell the difference.
Can contractors use their own phones?
Yes. In PropFix contractors join by an invite code from the manager, so the contractor list stays curated rather than open to anyone.
Android, iOS or both?
Android native when your crews are on Android; Kotlin Multiplatform when you need both, so dispatch and pricing rules are written once.
What does a field service app cost?
Multi-role operational platforms run $20,000 to $35,000 over 12 to 16 weeks. A focused first release is $12,000 to $18,000. Most projects start with a $1,500 Clarity Sprint that ends in a fixed quote.

Running crews, contractors or a dispatch desk?
If jobs still run on calls and a spreadsheet, twenty minutes is enough to map what an app would change.
