Site Access is technology that provides transparency between locations and provider technicians. Location Users know exactly which service technicians are arriving on site, when they are arriving, and which services they will perform. Locations will also have the knowledge and security that technicians were previously verified as a trusted business partner.
Using the Site Access module within the ServiceChannel Mobile app (or SC Mobile) you can:
- view a list of service providers scheduled to arrive at your location within the next 24 hours
- view a list of providers who have accessed your location within the past 12 hours
- scan a provider’s badge to verify the identity and time of entry
- issue temporary badges for unexpected service providers or visitors
- communicate with on-site technicians in case of emergencies

SC Mobile does not use Location Services while you are logged out of the app.

sectionThe Site Access functionality improves the on-site experience between technicians and location staff and increases the transparency of the check-in/out process.

Once you land on the Site Access screen of a specific location, you see the following tabs:
- Scheduled: Lists work orders where the scheduled date is within the next 24 hours as well as assigned technicians (if any). Here, you can see who exactly is supposed to arrive at your location before they get on-site. Once a technician checks in, the work order is moved to the Checked-In tab.

If your company has the badge scanning feature enabled, your admin may set up rules that require you to verify a technician by scanning their badge before they can start servicing the request. Should the badge scanning rule be triggered, a technician cannot check into a work order before having their badge scanned by a designated store employee.
Your admin configures rules that trigger the badge scanning requirement. For example, you may need to scan a technician’s badge when they attempt to check in outside of the acceptable check-in time frame or outside the allowed GPS radius.
When you see that the work order status on the Scheduled tab is Badge Scan Required, it means you need to verify a technician by scanning their badge before they can get to work.

The technician gets automatically checked in and can start working on the request. A note about a badge scan is added to the work order. |

A badge is invalid when it’s not associated with a scheduled work order or a technician at the current location. |
