Field service operations demand precision, speed and reliability. Whether your engineers are installing telecoms infrastructure, conducting maintenance visits or managing emergency callouts, outdated paper-based processes and disconnected systems create inefficiencies that cost time and money.
At Foresight Mobile, we specialise in building custom mobile applications that transform how field service teams work. Our solutions combine offline-first architecture, real-time GPS tracking and intelligent automation to keep your engineers productive, even in areas with poor connectivity. From AI-powered voice form filling to automated workflow management, we create tools that adapt to the realities of field work.
Based in Manchester with offices across the UK, we have proven experience delivering field service solutions like PlanPoint, our A55 diagram creation app for telecoms infrastructure teams. We understand the unique challenges of field operations and build apps that work as hard as your engineers do.
Our experience in field service app development spans multiple sectors, including telecoms infrastructure, utilities, facilities management and maintenance operations. We have successfully delivered solutions for companies managing distributed teams across the UK, where reliable offline functionality and accurate location tracking are essential.
The PlanPoint app exemplifies our approach to field service development. Built for telecoms engineers working on Physical Infrastructure Access projects, it replaced cumbersome paper-based A55 forms with a mobile-first solution featuring GPS-tagged data collection, offline capability and real-time synchronisation. The result has been improved accuracy, faster project completion and reduced administrative overhead for multiple clients.
We work closely with field service managers and engineers to understand your specific workflows, then architect solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing systems whilst addressing the practical challenges your teams face daily.
Our field service applications include the features that matter most to engineers working in challenging environments:
Offline-First Architecture
Engineers can access job details, complete forms and capture data without internet connectivity. Everything syncs automatically when connection is restored, ensuring no information is lost and work continues uninterrupted in remote locations or underground sites.
AI Voice Form Filling
Engineers can complete documentation hands-free using voice commands, ideal for working at height or in confined spaces. AI-powered transcription converts speech to structured data, dramatically reducing form completion time whilst maintaining accuracy and compliance.
GPS Tracking and Location Services
Accurate location tagging ensures precise asset mapping and job verification. Real-time tracking helps dispatchers optimise routes, whilst automatic mileage logging simplifies expense claims and provides audit trails for compliance reporting.
Photo Documentation and Verification
Built-in camera prompts with validation rules ensure engineers capture required evidence. Photos are automatically tagged with GPS coordinates and timestamps, creating comprehensive audit trails whilst reducing errors and callbacks for missing documentation.
