Posted by Kyo Logic on March 21, 2025

Field technicians and service teams often need to capture images and upload critical documents while on the job. Whether documenting equipment conditions, recording inspections, or attaching service reports, having a seamless way to link files to relevant records is essential. With Claris FileMaker, technicians can capture photos, annotate images, and upload sample documents directly from their iPads, ensuring all files are securely stored and easily accessible within a centralized database.

The Importance of Efficient Photo and Document Management

Manual file handling can slow down workflows and lead to lost or misfiled documents. Without an organized system, retrieving specific images or reports can become time-consuming, delaying service resolutions and impacting operational efficiency. A digital solution that integrates image and document management streamlines processes, improves documentation accuracy, and ensures that all records are linked to the appropriate job, customer, or service request.
