Link forms to different work orders

Forms are directly linked to work orders, objects or projects. This builds a complete history and prevents loose papers or incomplete data. Technicians fill in forms via the mobile app, also on the go, including photos, signatures or automatically filled customer data.

This flexibility ensures that forms are valuable both internally and towards customers. You guarantee quality and create professional reports that you can easily share. This shows that your organisation works carefully and transparently.

We constantly had to create work orders manually with pen and paper. By providing a clear digital system with many options, along with an excellent helpdesk that assists with everything, even the smallest questions, Outsmart has helped us.

Thomas Loos, Display4all

We used to lose work orders now and then, which made tracking time a challenge. With the easy digital entry of work orders, it's much simpler for the technician to manage the administration. Having 100% accurate work orders has definitely cut our administrative time in half.
