Problems addressed
- Missing site information and inconsistent records
- Photos, notes and approvals separated from the job
- Late variation evidence and duplicated administration
- Office staff repeatedly asking field teams for status
OPS / 05 Urquhart / capability
Field operations
Turn field activity into usable operational information.
Practical systems for job intake, site records, photos, variations, status, handover and reporting across mobile teams and office operations.
Who it is for
A defined service for a recognisable technical problem.
- Construction, maintenance and specialist service businesses
- Teams recording work on paper, chat or disconnected spreadsheets
- Owners who need clearer job status and commercial evidence
Included
- Workflow and role discovery
- Data structure and mobile interaction design
- A bounded operational prototype or production scope
- Permissions, testing, handover and operating notes
Not included
- A replacement for competent commercial or safety management
- Unlimited integrations or historical data cleanup
- Devices, licences and connectivity
- Offline behaviour not supported by the selected platform
Delivery process
Reduce uncertainty in deliberate stages.
Follow the job
Map intake, planning, field evidence, changes, completion and reporting.
Define the record
Agree required fields, owners, permissions and exceptions.
Pilot
Test a bounded workflow with representative users and jobs.
Deploy
Train users, document support and improve from observed use.
Starting prices
Choose the smallest useful commitment.
Licences, devices, data migration and third-party integrations are assessed separately.

Requirements, data, risks and delivery plan
AppSheet Prototype
One bounded workflow
Operational AppSheet Application
Multi-view production business app
Evidence and limits
Credibility comes from what can be checked.
- Required records are traced to actual operational decisions and handoffs.
- Pilot acceptance is based on representative job scenarios and user roles.
- Claims about time saved remain provisional until measured in live operation.
Questions
Before you enquire.
Can the system work on phones?
Yes, where the chosen platform supports the required devices, permissions and connectivity conditions.
Can it capture photos and signatures?
Usually. The exact evidence requirements, retention and access need to be defined.
Should we use AppSheet or custom software?
That depends on workflow complexity, offline needs, scale, integration and long-term ownership. Discovery should answer this before the build.
Start with evidence
Describe the current system and the outcome you need.
Include the main constraint, the people affected, the timescale and any existing specification. UDS will confirm the most proportionate first step.
