Custom software, built to order Vol. 01 — The Field Operations Issue
Webbi.
The Feature — In Eight Chapters

Anatomy of an all-in-one.

Everything your company already does — dispatch, schedules, supplies, inspections, work orders, client calls — rebuilt as one custom app that clients, managers, and field employees share. This is the full tour.

01

GPS tracking & cross-building dispatch

A manager's day is spent asking one question: where is everybody?

The platform answers it with a live map. Every field employee on the clock appears with their current building and status, so managers stop dialing around and start dispatching. When a site runs short-handed — a callout, a flood, a surprise walkthrough — the manager taps Request Assistance and pulls help from another building, with the request logged against both locations.

Spec Sheet

  • Live GPS positions for on-the-clock crews
  • Assistance requests routed to nearby buildings
  • Status at a glance: en route, on site, on break
  • Location history tied to shifts, not people off the clock

02

Schedules & live status, visible to clients

Clients shouldn't have to wonder whether anyone showed up.

They open the app and see the manager and employee schedules for their building, who is on site right now, and where in the building they are — third floor, loading dock, mechanical room. When they need someone, they know exactly who's reachable, and one tap starts the conversation.

Spec Sheet

  • Manager & employee schedules, per building
  • Current status and in-building location
  • Contact the person on site directly from the schedule
  • Visibility scoped to each client's own buildings

2.1 — Who's on site, where they are, how to reach them.
03

Direct messages, without the phone tree

Most service complaints are really communication complaints.

Built-in DMs connect clients to managers instantly — and, when it's needed, to field employees too. No more voicemails to the office relayed to a supervisor relayed to the crew. The message lands with the person who can act on it, and the thread stays on the record inside the app.

Spec Sheet

  • Client-to-manager messaging by default
  • Client-to-employee messaging where you allow it
  • Threads tied to buildings, searchable later
  • Manager and office visibility into conversations

04

Supplies ordering, straight from the app

The supply closet should never be a surprise.

Crews and managers order supplies from inside the app, sourced through your vendors. Catalogs reflect what each vendor actually carries, so what you see is what can ship.1 Orders trace back to the building and the person who placed them, which turns supply spend from a mystery into a report.

Spec Sheet

  • In-app ordering against your vendor catalogs
  • Per-building order history and tracking
  • Approval flows for larger orders
  • Reorder in two taps from past orders

1 Catalog availability varies by vendor.

05

Custom requests, one click and ordered

"Could you also—" is where good service gets made or lost.

Special requests from clients — an extra pass before an event, a carpet spot, a conference room reset — go from the client to the manager or office as a one-click request. It arrives structured, gets accepted or quoted, and can be ordered through the app on the spot. Nothing lives on a sticky note.

Spec Sheet

  • One-click request from the client's app
  • Routed to manager or office, your choice
  • Accept, quote, or schedule from the same screen
  • Full history per client and building

5.1 — From ask to ordered, one screen.
06

Inspections & work orders, one system of record

If it isn't written down, it didn't happen — and it will happen again.

Inspections and work orders live in the same app as everything else. Walk a building with a checklist, flag deficiencies with photos, and convert findings into work orders assigned to a crew with a due date. Clients can follow the status of their requests without calling to ask.

Spec Sheet

  • Inspection checklists with photo evidence
  • Deficiency-to-work-order in one step
  • Assignment, due dates, and status tracking
  • Client-visible progress on their requests

6.1 — The paper trail, minus the paper.
07

An admin panel that knows who's who

All of this only works if the right people see the right things.

The admin panel controls access across the whole platform: user roles for clients, managers, office staff, and field employees, plus building- and location-level access so a client sees only their sites and a crew sees only their assignments. Onboard, offboard, and reassign from one screen.

Spec Sheet

  • Role-based access: client, manager, office, field
  • Per-building and per-location permissions
  • User lifecycle: invite, suspend, reassign
  • Audit trail of administrative changes

08

Custom branding — it's your app

Your clients should see your company on their home screen, not ours.

Every deployment is branded per company: your name, your logo, your colors, your voice in the notifications. Webbi builds and runs the machinery; the masthead is all yours. It reads as a serious investment in your service — because it is one.

Spec Sheet

  • Your logo, colors, and app identity
  • Branded client, manager, and field experiences
  • Custom notification voice and templates
  • Built on your existing services and workflows

8.1 — One platform, wearing your colors.
