Your experience of creating service requests in ServiceChannel Mobile becomes way more effective with the asset scanning capability. When you need to have a broken asset fixed, you can start creating your service request by scanning a QR code, barcode, or NFC tag on the faulty asset. The scanning ability helps you to achieve two things at a time:
Streamline the process of creating a work order. Once you’ve scanned an asset, the app searches for the corresponding asset in the Asset Manager database. When the match is found, you see relevant information on the asset and can associate it with a work order. Like your assistant, the app automatically fills out certain fields on the work order creation form with the information that corresponds to the scanned asset. Thus, with a proper issue list setup in place, you have less manual work to do.
Verify that the asset you’ve scanned exists in the Asset Manager database, and the information on the asset is correct.

Your work order is created with an associated asset and dispatched to the provider.
Scanning an NFC Asset Tag
If your mobile device is natively capable of reading Near Field Communication (NFC) tags, you can scanning NFC tags on assets. Once you’ve scanned an NFC tag, you get the information on the associated asset.
Since NFC operates over just a few inches, you should hold your mobile device close to the asset tag.

If the asset tag is successfully scanned, the app searches for the match and shows you the details of the asset found. In case you get an error upon scanning, try searching for the asset manually. |
