Uninterrupted productivity 2x faster: How FYLD enhances offline job management

In today’s fast-paced industries, efficiency is paramount. Field teams and managers depend on seamless access to job data, even in offline scenarios, to keep projects moving forward without delays. Recognizing the critical need for enhanced offline capabilities, FYLD has introduced significant improvements to its platform, delivering 2x faster job synchronisation speeds and a more resilient offline experience.

The challenge: Downtime and frustrations with offline operations

For many field teams, working offline is a regular reality. Whether due to remote work locations or connectivity issues, offline environments often present challenges such as:

• Slow data synchronisation: Delays in downloading job data can interrupt workflows and create bottlenecks.

• Limited access to stored jobs: Teams may struggle to retrieve essential information while offline, affecting productivity.

• Server dependencies: Relying on servers for frequent updates can slow down job completion, particularly when filtering tasks offline.

These issues not only hinder operational efficiency but also exacerbate frustrations for fieldworkers and managers alike.

The solution: FYLD’s enhanced offline capabilities

With the latest update, FYLD has transformed its offline functionality to tackle these challenges head-on. Key improvements include:

1. Faster synchronisation: Synchronising job data is now twice as fast, cutting the time from 36 seconds to just 18 seconds in testing environments. This 50% reduction ensures that teams spend less time waiting and more time executing tasks.
2. Reduced data download: By optimising the synchronisation process, the data required for syncing has decreased by 29.2%, minimising server load and conserving storage space on devices.
3. Increased offline independence: FYLD’s app can now store more jobs locally, enabling users to filter and access relevant information without needing a live server connection. This reduces reliance on server-based operations, empowering field teams to work autonomously.
4. Streamlined Collaboration: All users can now request the same job information simultaneously, reducing duplication of effort and ensuring consistency in data access.

Addressing key pain points

These enhancements directly tackle common challenges experienced by field teams:

• Job filtering delays: Offline filtering of jobs is now seamless, eliminating blockages that previously slowed teams down.

• Initial download speeds: Faster job downloads mean teams can get started immediately, avoiding wasted time during job kick-offs.

• Data updates: Offline items on timelines now sync effortlessly with the FYLD Cloud, ensuring data accuracy once connectivity is restored.

Real-world impact: Smoother, faster, and smarter operations

These offline improvements are designed to boost productivity across industries like utilities, road maintenance, and construction. By reducing wait times and improving data accessibility, FYLD empowers teams to focus on what matters most—delivering results efficiently and safely.

For example, utility operators managing critical repairs in remote locations can now prepare for jobs with confidence, knowing they have all the information they need at their fingertips. Meanwhile, supervisors can review and approve timelines without worrying about delays caused by poor connectivity.

No action required for users
