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
Refer to the SC Mobile knowledge base to learn how to use the rest of the app.

You need an Internet connection (either through Wi-Fi or cellular data) to do the following:
- login to the SC Mobile app

Location Services
Your device’s Location Services option allows permissioned apps to locate you via GPS. SC Mobile uses Location Services to list your Locations that are closest to you.
- While Location Services is turned on: The Location List View will sort your assigned locations by distance closest to you, and your current location will be pinpointed in Map View.
- While Location Services is turned off: The Location List View will sort your assigned locations by Location ID, and Map View will display an overall world view of your assigned locations.
SC Mobile does not use Location Services while you are logged out of the app.
Camera and Photos/Videos Access
You have the ability to take photos/video of issues and attach them to work orders. Your mobile device may ask for permission to access your camera and/or photos/videos for the sole purpose of taking and attaching photos/videos related to these actions.
