The ServiceCore Mobile App Beta now lets you view and update a customer's septic system information directly from a job. No more radioing the office to log a new tank detail or correct a system's location. If you're enrolled in the Beta, you can capture what you see on-site in real time.
This walkthrough covers everything shown in the beta today: system details, tank and lid information, and pinning the system's exact location on the map.
