Read full description

Field Tech Tool unifies every step of deployment for field engineers in one secure, Flutter-powered workspace. Scan rXg QR codes to authenticate instantly with encrypted credential storage, then capture ONTs, access points, switches, and gateways using guided multi-mode barcode workflows that validate serials, MACs, and part numbers against the centralized MAC manufacturer database. Each scan feeds straight into automated device registration that assigns hardware to PMS rooms and keeps device lifecycles synchronized. Stay on top of the install with live dashboards that surface network health, alert priorities, and quick actions, plus a comprehensive device inventory with filters, status chips, and deep detail views for notes, photos, and port layouts. The room readiness tracker shows which rooms are complete, which are blocked, and exactly what hardware or documentation is missing. Offline-aware caching, retry logic, and camera lifecycle management keep the app reliable in spotty environments, supported by extensive automated testing to deliver enterprise-grade performance for every deployment.
