Fieldwork Doesn't Fix Your Approval Delays Problem
Fieldwork lacks automated approval routing and field notifications, stalling work while waiting for admin authorization.
How Approval Delays Actually Works With Fieldwork
The Real Scenario
Crews wait idle on site for hours while scope changes, parts requests, or quotes sit in a manager's inbox waiting for signature approvals.
What Fieldwork Does Well
Fieldwork is a capable field service management tool. It handles:
- +Job scheduling and dispatch
- +Basic invoicing and payments
- +Customer contact management
- +Mobile job status updates
Where Fieldwork Falls Short
But when it comes to approval delays, Fieldwork leaves a gap:
- −No native digital signature capture templates
- −No automated photo geotagging verification
- −Requires external sheets to bridge payroll hours
Signs You Have a Approval Delays Problem (Even With Fieldwork)
- !Techs wait hours or days for a supervisor to approve a scope change
- !Paper approval forms get lost between the field and the office
- !Nobody knows where a pending approval is in the chain
The Cost of Leaving This Gap Open
Every stalled approval idles a crew at $75–$150/hour. A single day of approval delay on a 3-person crew costs $600–$1,800 in unproductive labor.
Fieldwork Can't Fix This Because:
Fieldwork lacks automated approval routing and field notifications, stalling work while waiting for admin authorization.
Fieldwork is a field service management tool — it wasn't built to solve approval delays problems at the field level. That's what we build.
