Keep working when there is no signal, and catch up automatically when there is.
← All capabilitiesFieldwork doesn't stop because the signal does. Apps that require a live connection leave staff unable to check people in, capture forms or record data at the exact moment it's needed, and re-entering it later costs time and introduces errors.
An events operator scans badges at the door, but venue wifi drops the moment a few hundred people arrive at once, and the check-in app stops working right when it matters most. Staff fall back to a paper list and re-enter it afterwards. We would build check-in that stores every scan on the device and syncs once a connection returns.
A hospital or clinic asks patients to complete intake forms on a kiosk, but a patchy connection in parts of the building means the form loses data or won't submit. Staff hand out paper as a backup. We would build the kiosk to capture and store every form on the device, replicating it to the backend once connected.
A field-service business sends technicians into basements and rural sites where signal drops out entirely, but their job app needs a live connection to record a finished job or a photo. Techs write it on paper and re-enter it at the office. We would build the app to work fully offline, syncing every job update once signal returns.
We design the app to be fully usable with no connection at all, not just tolerant of a dropout. Data is stored locally and replicated safely to your backend the moment a connection is available, with conflicts resolved automatically.
We've built offline-first field apps for two engagements spanning events and healthcare.
