Built your way

Checklists that enforce the work.

Step-by-step flows with logic, proof, and sign-off, so the work is right the first time.

Trade-specific templates

Pre-built for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, fire, pest, and more.

Conditional logic

Branches based on answers, so techs only see what's relevant.

Required photos

Mandatory before/after captures. No close-out without them.

Customer sign-off

In-app e-signature tied to the checklist, not a separate form.

Hard stops

Failing checks block close-out and route to QA.

Compliance-ready

OSHA, EPA, NFPA audit trails built in.

PDF export

Per-job, per-site, or per-period reports for customers and AHJs.

Location-aware

Different checklists for different customer sites automatically.

Mark up the evidence

Circle the fault on the photo, or pin it on the floor plan of the site, so the report shows where as well as what.

Measurements and readings

Grouped measurement fields with units and tolerances (pressures, voltages, gaps, run-hours) that fail the check themselves when a reading is out of range.

Natural-language builder

"Add a freon pressure check" and the field appears.

Worked example

How a digital checklist runs on a fire-safety maintenance visit

A quarterly fire-safety visit has steps that must be done, readings that must be in range, and evidence an auditor will ask for. Here is the checklist from the moment the job opens to the report the customer receives.

  1. 1

    The right checklist attaches itself

    WO-88140 at Harbour Point is a fire-safety PPM, so the fire-safety checklist is attached automatically. A different customer site can carry a different checklist.

  2. 2

    Steps ask for proof

    The alarm panel test needs a photo before it can pass. Emergency lighting needs two. The technician cannot move past a required step without its evidence.

  3. 3

    A reading fails on its own

    The sprinkler riser pressure is entered as a number. The step has a tolerance, so an out-of-range reading fails the check without anyone having to judge it.

  4. 4

    A failed check blocks close-out

    Because a fire-safety step failed, the job cannot close. A supervisor sign-off is now required and the failure is routed to them.

  5. 5

    The report goes out

    Once signed off, the checklist, photos, readings and signatures become a PDF report in your branding, sent to the customer and kept on the site's record.

The gap is found on site, not in an audit. The site keeps a full inspection history, and every report is one click away.

What you can change, and how

  • Steps and field types

    Pass/fail/N/A, numbers with units and tolerances, photos, signatures, dropdowns, text, and grouped measurement fields.

  • Conditional logic

    Show a step only when an earlier answer calls for it, so technicians only see what applies.

  • Required evidence

    Make photos, readings or signatures mandatory before a step or the job can close.

  • Hard stops

    Decide which failures block close-out and who has to sign off.

  • Which checklist goes where

    Attach checklists by job type, trade, customer or site. Add or change a step by asking in plain English; signed checklists stay exactly as they were.

  • Languages

    Technicians can see the checklist in their own language while the office sees one set of data.

How it connects to the rest of Fieldproxy

  • Asset records

    Readings and results are stored against the equipment they were taken on.

  • Mobile app

    Checklists work offline and sync when signal returns.

  • Customer portal

    Customers can see every inspection record for their sites.

  • Approvals

    Failures and sign-offs route to the right person.

  • Files and webhooks

    Reports can be backed up to Google Drive or Dropbox and pushed to other systems by webhook or Zapier.

When this is not the right fit

  • If your jobs are simple and nobody checks the paperwork, a long checklist slows technicians down. Start with the few steps that matter.
  • A required photo field only proves a file was attached. Use the photo checks and supervisor sign-off for steps where the evidence really matters.
  • Fieldproxy records your inspections; it does not certify them. The standards you inspect against are yours to set in the checklist.

Questions

Straight answers.

What is a job checklist app for field service?

It replaces paper forms with step-by-step checklists on the technician's phone, with required photos, readings, signatures and pass/fail logic, and turns the result into a report. In Fieldproxy the checklist is part of the job, so it is attached automatically and saved to the job and the equipment.

Can a failed check stop the job from being closed?

Yes. You choose which failures block close-out, and who has to sign off before the job can proceed.

Do checklists work without signal?

Yes. The technician app works offline and syncs when the phone is back in coverage.

Can we use different checklists for different customers?

Yes. Checklists can be attached by job type, trade, customer or site, so each client's requirements appear automatically.

Can we build our own preventive maintenance checklist?

Yes. Describe the steps in plain English or build them field by field, including readings with acceptable ranges.
