A custom mobile app to replace paper-based daily job records for a landscaping company — built to work offline and sync when connectivity returns.
Field crews were filling out paper workslips each day — logging the job site, hours worked by each laborer, trucking runs, equipment usage, and materials delivered. At the end of the day those sheets made their way back to the office where someone entered them manually into accounting and payroll systems.
The process was slow, error-prone, and hard to audit. Illegible handwriting, missing fields, and timing gaps between the job site and the office created headaches for managers and workers alike. Connectivity in the field was also unpredictable — any solution had to work without a reliable internet connection.
We built a native iOS and Android app that lets field workers fill out their daily job record — called a "workslip" — directly on their phone. Each workslip captures the job site, date, customer, and detailed line items across four categories:
Records are stored locally on-device so the app works completely offline. When connectivity is available, workslips sync automatically to a cloud database and appear in a companion web portal that managers and admins use to review, finalize, and export records.
Workers sign in once with Google or Apple, and from there the daily workflow is fast: tap to start a new workslip, fill in the tabs, and submit. Finalized records are locked and read-only on the device, providing a clear paper trail.

Field workers spend less time on paperwork and more time on the job. Managers have a real-time view of daily activity across crews, and the manual data entry bottleneck at the office is gone. The app is live on the App Store and Google Play and used daily throughout the season.
