Don’t be Fooled by Mobile Apps that Claim to Work Offline

Offline Series – Part 1:  Thinking about a new mobile platform for EAM or FM?

“Offline capability” is promised everywhere—but not all offline solutions are equal. A poor choice can cost far more than frustration.

Here’s what to watch for:

  • Partial offline: Only some features work offline; key tasks may still require a signal. Result? Delays, compliance gaps, and rework.
  • Limited offline: Minimal data supported. Field teams get stranded when plans change or more info is needed.

And the hidden costs don’t stop there—
Read Part 2 of the “Offline” series and learn about other pitfalls that can undermine your field operations (and what you can do to avoid them).

Why FieldFLEX?

How FieldFLEX helps:

FieldFLEX users sync ALL the data they may need to their device in case connectivity is lost for any length of time. Having this data stored with the app allows users to access their assigned work, create new work orders, assets, and start inspections while offline.

And, the FieldFLEX Zero-Data Loss features assures the field technicians that any data updated or collected while offline will be synched and validated with the server as soon as their device reconnects.
