Field service management platform / Project showcase
Workpilot
Workpilot connects the office workspace with the field team. The project spans a Flutter mobile application, a Next.js web application and a Node.js backend, with workflows for organizing jobs and the documents around them.
01 / The product context
A field service job involves more than its calendar entry. It can start with a customer or site, move through a quotation and scheduling, and produce reports, certificates and an invoice. Workpilot is a useful example of building the connections between these activities rather than treating them as separate applications.
02 / Connected capabilities
The web workspace includes jobs, scheduling and site-related information. The mobile app gives field users a way to work with the task on site. Connecting these surfaces means the data model and workflow need attention alongside the interface design.
Site reporting, surveys and certificate workflows support structured records of the work. Photos, files and signatures are relevant device capabilities for these journeys. Different document types require their own fields, review states and presentation.
Quotation and invoice journeys connect the commercial side of a job to the operational work. The application includes document views and PDF-related workflows. This is relevant to businesses that need the office and field team to work from a consistent job context.
Planned maintenance contracts, stock and tools, price books and a document center broaden the product beyond a simple task list. These modules illustrate why a business platform needs clear boundaries between shared records and specialist workflows.
03 / Engineering considerations
The scope follows connected stages: planning, field work, documentation and billing. Mapping that lifecycle helps identify which records need to be shared and where a handoff or review belongs.
The Flutter application works alongside a Next.js frontend and a TypeScript/Node.js backend with PostgreSQL. Mobile features and dashboard features can evolve around the same business entities rather than duplicating the entire system.
Attachments, certificates and printable records have their own storage and presentation requirements. A useful project brief includes who creates each document, who reviews it and where it should be available.
