If you find hidden work on-site, Sync- gets it approved.

The photo job card, traffic-light urgency and one-tap WhatsApp approval work the same whether you are under a bakkie, in a ceiling, on a roof or on a farm. Same app, same registration — the asset fields and message template simply follow your trade.

Field Trades

Plumbers, Electricians & HVAC Technicians

Technicians discover concealed problems on-site — a rusted geyser element, burnt wiring in the DB board — while the homeowner is at work or standing awkwardly in the hallway.

Feature tweaks

SKU / parts catalog dropdown: 3kW flange element, 60A main breaker, 15mm copper elbow.
Markup calculator: parts cost + 25% markup + 0.5 hr labour, automatically.

The flow

Plumber cuts open the ceiling, photographs the leaking geyser valve, picks the valve SKU and hits dispatch. The homeowner gets a WhatsApp card at work: “Critical: geyser pressure valve failing — R1,250 to replace now,” and approves in seconds.

Fleet & DVIR

Truck Fleets & Depot Workshops

Fleet controllers sit hundreds of kilometres from the depot and approve repairs off a spreadsheet line item they cannot see.

Feature tweaks

Unit number and odometer fields instead of a private plate.
Defect checklist itemisation aligned to daily vehicle inspection reports.

The flow

Depot mechanic photographs a cracked brake disc on Unit 214, tags it critical, and the controller authorises the downtime from WhatsApp before the truck is loaded.

Collision

Panel Beaters, Dent Repair & Windscreen Fitment

Additional underlying chassis damage or glass sensor recalibration costs surface only after the vehicle is stripped.

Feature tweaks

Vehicle body diagram: clickable car silhouette to tag damage points (front bumper, left A-pillar, windscreen).
Insurance excess vs private quote toggle.

The flow

The stripper snaps a hidden crack in the radiator cradle. Sync- sends the customer or insurance broker a WhatsApp report showing the hidden defect before parts are ordered.

Residential & Property

Rental Inspections & Maintenance Handymen

Landlords and tenants argue over maintenance deductions, and approval for handyman repairs takes days of emailed quotes.

Feature tweaks

Room and unit tags: “Unit 4B — Kitchen sink”.
Deposit vs landlord liability toggle showing who carries the cost.

The flow

The property manager photographs a broken shower door, attaches a replacement quote and sends it to the landlord on WhatsApp for instant authorisation.

Yellow Metal

Heavy Plant & Agricultural Machinery

Excavators, forklifts and tractors cost thousands of rands an hour standing idle on a farm or construction site.

Feature tweaks

Machine hour meter and serial number fields.
High-value parts SKUs with supplier part numbering.

The flow

The field mechanic visits a tractor, snaps a blown hydraulic seal kit, enters the part number and the site manager approves the R6,500 emergency repair straight from WhatsApp.

Energy

Solar, Inverter & Electrical Installations

Installers arrive and find the roof structure needs reinforcement or the DB board has no space for surge arrestors — every variation order stalls the crew.

Feature tweaks

Variation order SKU builder pre-loaded with batteries, panels and trunking.

The flow

The installer photographs the crowded DB board on arrival, tags the required sub-DB upgrade at R2,200 and gets the homeowner's WhatsApp sign-off before drilling.
