Build a job tracking and work order app

You can build a job tracking app without writing code: describe the jobs you take, your team and what you record on each visit, and Fabricate builds a working web app where customers send a service request without an account, you turn requests into work orders, and each person on your team signs in to see the jobs assigned to them.

Every job is saved in the app's own database, the job list opens in a phone's browser on site, and publishing gives the app a live link to share. Try it with a few test jobs first, then ask for changes in the same chat.

  • No coding required
  • Ready in minutes
  • Publish on Pro
Key takeaways
  • A job tracking app with a customer request form, work orders and a sign-in for your team can be built from a plain-English description
  • Every job is saved in the app's own database with a status and notes, and publishing gives the app a live link to share
  • Route planning, live locations, invoices, card payments and text messages are not built in; Stripe code can be added with your own keys

In-depth guide

What a job tracking app built with Fabricate includes

Small service businesses run their week from calls, texts, a whiteboard and a notebook in the van: plumbers, electricians, cleaners, landscapers, repair shops and property maintenance teams. Field service software solves this for large fleets, but it charges per user and comes with dispatch boards and modules a team of three never opens. A job tracking app built with Fabricate starts from your own description of the jobs you take and your team, and changes when you ask for a change in the chat.

Requests and work orders: customers describe the problem, how urgent it is and where they are, without creating an account. You see every request in one list and turn it into a job with a date, an address and the person assigned.

The team view: each person joins with an invite code you give them, sees their own jobs for the day in a phone's browser and moves each job to on the way, started or done, with a note of the work done and the parts used. You see every job by status and by day, and a history for each customer and property.

What is not built in: the app does not plan routes, show live locations, send invoices or text messages, take card payments or connect to accounting software. It keeps every job with the customer's details and the price, so an invoice or a payment request is quick to send from the tools you use today.

Fabricate prompt
A job tracking app for my service business. Customers send a service request without an account: the problem, how urgent it is, their name, phone number and address. Only I can see new requests, and I turn each one into a job with a date and the person assigned. My team joins with an invite code I give them; nobody else can create an account. Each person sees their jobs for the day in date order and marks each one as on the way, started or done, with a note of the work done and the parts used. I see every job by status and by day, and a history for each customer. Make it easy to use on a phone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I build a job tracking app without coding?
Yes. Describe the jobs you take, your team and what you record on each visit, and Fabricate builds the job tracking app and shows it working in a preview. To change something, you ask in the chat. There is no code to write or read.
Can customers send a service request online?
Yes, if you ask for it. Customers fill in a request form without an account, and every request is saved to one list for you to schedule. Once the app is published, each request is also kept under Responses in Fabricate and emailed to you, up to a daily limit. Send yourself a few test requests before you share the link.
Can my team see their jobs on site?
Yes, if you ask for it. Say that your team joins with an invite code you give them and that each person sees the jobs assigned to them. The app opens in a phone's browser, so there is nothing to install from an app store.
Does it plan routes or track where my team is?
No. The app does not work out routes or show live locations. It can list each person's jobs for the day in the order you set, with each address, so the day's plan is in one place.
Can it send invoices or take payment?
Not on its own. Fabricate does not take card payments or send text messages or invoices to your customers, and the app does not connect to accounting software. It can keep each job with the customer's details and the price, so an invoice from your accounting software is quick to send yourself. If you ask for payments, the AI can write Stripe code into your app for you to connect with your own keys.
Who can see customer addresses?
Only the people you choose, if you ask for that when you describe the app: say that only you can sign in, or that your team join with an invite code you give them. A sign-in that anyone can register for does not keep customer names, phone numbers and addresses private. Once the app is published, anyone with the link can open it, so keep those details behind that owner or invite-only sign-in. On Pro and Max you can make the whole app private.
Will my test jobs show up in the live app?
No. Publishing gives the live app a fresh database of its own, so the test entries you made in the preview stay behind.
What does it cost?
You can start on Free, which includes 60 credits a month and needs no card. A whole new app usually takes about 20 to 35 credits and a small change about 3 to 10 credits. Current plans are on the pricing page.
