Using SC Provider Mobile with Refrigerant Tracking Management

\ServiceChannel Provider, or SC Provider, is a mobile application that is used by external field technicians to receive, view, and record parts usage as well as to check into and out of work orders dispatched through Service Automation.

Setting Up SC Provider for Internal Technicians

SC Provider is available for both iOS and Android devices and can be downloaded from their respective app stores.

External technicians who will be using SC Provider to manage and process work orders must have an account established for them in User Management before they can be assigned work orders, or they can request an account by first downloading the SC Provider application and then requesting access.

Adding Technicians to SC Provider Mobile

Each technician needs a ServiceChannel Provider account to receive and process work orders. Technicians are informed by email when they have been invited to set up an account. Each technician has to respond to the invitation by clicking Start Now in the invitation email that they receive. See Being Invited to Use SС Provider for a detailed instruction. 

Adding Certifications and/or Licenses in SC Provider Mobile

Technicians who are assigned to HVAC and/or refrigeration type work orders are required to provide their certification and/or licenses to verify their qualifications to service those work orders.

When accessing HVAC and/or refrigeration work orders in SC Provider Mobile with a PIN, a message appears indicating you must use a username and password to check into those types of work orders. Doing so, helps verify technicians with proper credentials are servicing those assets.

Acknowledging Compliance Statement in SC Provider Mobile

When checking out of a Planned Maintenance work order where a leak inspection is conducted, your client can enable an acknowledgement compliance statement that verifies the work that was completed was done in compliance. You must acknowledge the statement in order to complete the process.

Entering a Leak Inspection

When refrigerant assets have a leak, you create a leak event for a single or multiple assets on a work order. This allows for constant updates on leak events which helps with maintaining accurate data and upkeep on the assets.  Your client can also record leak events while performing services on the asset. You can perform this task in Provider Automation.
