Field service
Field service software schedules technicians' on-site interventions, brings the history and worksheet to the customer's premises via smartphone and closes the job with materials used and the customer's signature. In Odoo, field service is linked to tickets, inventory and invoicing: the closed intervention produces the invoice, with time and materials already recorded.
It's the system that organises technicians' off-site work: it collects intervention requests, assigns them to the right person on the right day, and gives the technician everything needed on site — customer history, worksheet, materials catalogue. When the job ends, the report is already done: hours, parts used and the customer's signature become the basis of the invoice, with nothing re-typed at the office.
The job report is filled on site, not re-typed at the office.
The intervention starts from a support ticket, a phone call or a maintenance contract, with the customer already linked.
Interventions are assigned on calendar and map: the right technician, in the right area, with workload visible.
From the smartphone the technician sees history and tasks, logs hours and fills in the intervention worksheet.
Parts and materials used are added to the intervention and drawn down from inventory, with no notes to re-copy.
The customer signs on site; the closed intervention produces the invoice with time and materials already recorded.
The features we most often configure for SMEs.
Plan interventions by technician and area, with a clear view of workloads and travel.
From the smartphone: the day's interventions, customer history, hours worked and worksheet.
Report templates fitted to the intervention type: what to check, what to record, what to sign.
Parts used are recorded on the intervention and draw down stock, including from the technician's van.
The customer signs the report right on the technician's device: no paper to file.
Hours and parts recorded on site become the invoice, with no month-end reconstruction.
What changes between running interventions on diaries and paper reports and having them in the suite.
| Diary, phone and paper | Integrated field service (Odoo) | |
|---|---|---|
| Appointments | On separate per-technician diaries | Shared calendar with map |
| Context | The technician leaves without history | Customer and past jobs on the app |
| Materials used | Jotted down and re-copied by hand | Recorded on site, drawn from inventory |
| The job report | Paper, sometimes lost | Digital with the customer's signature |
| The invoice | Weeks later, with omissions | From time and materials already recorded |
Field service closes the loop with the rest of the suite: a helpdesk ticket becomes a scheduled intervention; materials used draw down inventory and trigger reordering; hours worked land on the project or the service contract; the invoice posts to accounting. It's one customer record, from first contact to the signed report.
Electrical, plumbing, HVAC, security: crews going out on multiple jobs every day.
Those servicing machines and plant at customer sites, with maintenance contracts and parts to track.
Businesses where the value is produced off-site and paper reports slow invoicing down.
Frequently asked questions
For off-site work, a system where scheduling, inventory and invoicing live together is best: the technician closes the job on site and the invoice starts there. Odoo covers calendar, mobile app, materials and signature; Gitogi configures it around your real crews.
