Start a Job Using the Mobile App

Use the ServiceCore Mobile App to view your assigned jobs, review job details, and start work in the field. The Mobile App gives drivers and technicians access to their daily schedule, job information, and navigation tools so they can prepare for each stop and begin work on-site.

Before You Start

Here are a few things to know before you continue:

  • Jobs must be assigned to you before they appear in the Mobile App.
  • Make sure you are logged in and viewing your schedule for the day.
  • Review job details before arriving on site.
  • Start the job when you are on-site and ready to begin work.

Prepare for Your Day

Before starting your day, download inventory if you will be working with inventory and expect limited connectivity. 

Please Note: If your jobs do not use inventory, such as septic or grease pumping, you can skip this step.

Downloading inventory allows you to:

  • Access assigned inventory while offline
  • Continue working in areas with poor or no service

To download inventory:

  1. Tap the “menu” (three lines) icon.



     

  2. Tap “Inventory.”


     
  3. Tap the “three dots” menu.



     

  4. Tap “Download Inventory.”



     

  5. In the window that appears, tap “Download Now.”



     

  6. After your inventory has finished downloading, tap the “menu” icon.



     

  7. Tap “My Schedule” to return to your list of jobs for the day.


View Your Schedule

When you log in, the Mobile App takes you to your schedule for the day. 

From here, you can:

  • View all assigned jobs in order
  • Navigate between past and future dates
  • Return to the current day’s schedule
  • Open jobs to view more details


 

Before starting your first job, review your route details.
 


 

Here you can review:

  • Total number of stops
  • Estimated distance and duration
  • Types of jobs scheduled (service, delivery, pickup, or exchange)
