new work

Found on site, raised before the van leaves.

A field service engineer or the desk describes the work on WhatsApp, Teams or in chat. Centrus reads it back, then raises the job in your job system and adds the contact if they're new, ready for the office to book.

questions

Questions about raising jobs from a message

No. It reads the details back and waits for a yes before it writes the job or the contact. If the customer or site doesn't match one in your job system, it says so and asks, rather than guessing.

BigChange, Joblogic and Simpro. The job and the contact are written straight into your job system, which stays the record. Centrus reads it live and does not keep its own copy of your jobs.

Whoever you allow. In BigChange, creating a job or a contact can be allowed or blocked per person and per team, so engineers can raise work from site without the access the office has.

Yes. Ask in the web app, WhatsApp or Teams to raise a job from an email in the inbox, and it takes the site, the fault and the contact from it. For portal emails that arrive every day, an agent can raise them as they land.
