Offline Mobile Apps for Field Operations

Quixy Editorial Team

August 11, 2023

While automation and digitized processes provide a much-needed breakthrough from traditional manual processes, they often function in the constraint of internet connectivity. These solutions work perfectly for the in-office or work-from-home staff, not so much for field staff who have to travel and work in areas that have major connectivity limitations. Quite often, they are left with no other option than to resort back to paper-based processes which are error-prone, redundant, and ineffective as we all know. 

There are various situations where a constant internet connection is not guaranteed. Work at construction sites, underground operations, offshore oil rigs, hospitals, or activities in rural/remote areas are a few instances where online solutions cannot be accessed by the people deployed. However, this should not lead to the loss of valuable productivity and resources. 

There might be a provision for an offline situation in some solutions, but most of these have limited functionality with constraints on storage and accessibility. To ensure that your field staff keeps on track, there is a dire need for “truly offline” solutions that are just as robust and useful as their online counterparts.

Once the internet connectivity is restored, all the data collected is automatically uploaded and synced with the central server.
