WORK ORDERS ON IPAD
Work orders closed out on the iPad, on site, offline.
The iPad is the right size for a work order: big enough to show a customer what you found, small enough to carry into a plant room. What usually breaks is the software assuming a connection.

RECORDED
The signal fails exactly where the work order is.
Basements, plant rooms, risers, steel-framed buildings and rural sites are where maintenance happens and where a cloud-first app stalls. An app that stores the work order on the device finishes the job in the plant room instead of in the car park twenty minutes later.
ONE COMPLETE CLOSE-OUT
Capture the facts. Keep the context. Send the record.
Record the order on arrival
Capture the client, site, technician, reference, reported issue and scope while you are standing in front of it.
Show the condition
Group before, during and after photos with captions, and mark the relevant area on a photo when the detail is easy to miss.
Hand over the record
Review the report, collect acknowledgement where appropriate, and export a branded PDF for the client and your own file.

Before you put it into the workflow.
Does JobDossier work on iPad?

Can I close a work order without a connection?
Yes. Report creation, photos, signatures, search, backup and PDF generation all work on the device.
Is the signature legally binding?
A signature records customer acknowledgement. JobDossier is not a qualified electronic-signature service.
