Some businesses have a workflow that starts differently from others: first measurements are taken at the customer's premises, then the product is manufactured, and finally installation takes place. Shower cabin manufacturers are the clearest example of this model — but the same process applies to curtain systems, custom furniture, glass balconies, suspended ceilings and dozens of other sectors.
In this business model, the measurement stage is the most critical link. An incomplete or incorrect measurement means a production error, a delayed installation and a dissatisfied customer.
FieldCo lets you manage this entire process professionally through the mobile app.

Taking Measurements: A 45-50 Question Checklist Completed on Site
Taking measurements for a custom shower cabin is not simply measuring dimensions with a tape measure. The shape of the space, distances to surrounding elements and technical constraints directly affect production decisions:
- Is the space L-shaped, U-shaped or straight?
- What is the distance to the toilet in centimetres?
- Distances to the window, wall and radiator?
- Is there a floor slope?
- Where is the drain located?
All of these questions are entered into a checklist in FieldCo in advance. When the measurement crew visits the customer, the 45-50 question form is ready in the mobile app. Each question is answered, photos are added to the relevant points and measurement values are recorded numerically. When the form is complete, a measurement record is automatically generated as a PDF and sent instantly to the office.
The production team receives the measurement form and starts production with no room for misinterpretation.

Hierarchical Questions: One Answer Determines the Next Question
FieldCo's checklist module is not limited to a flat question-and-answer structure. Different sub-questions are triggered based on the answer to a previous question:
- "Is the space L-shaped?" → If yes, L-wing measurements are requested
- "Is there a window?" → If yes, the window sill height and position are requested
- "Is there a floor slope?" → If yes, the drainage direction is requested
This structure means unnecessary questions are skipped and required ones are never missed.

Installation Phase: Same System, Different Checklist
When the product is delivered and installation begins, the process runs through FieldCo again. The installation checklist is different from the measurement form; this time it covers:
- Product damage check (post-delivery)
- Confirmation of installation steps in sequence
- Leak test and final checks
- Customer e-signed delivery receipt
When the installation work order is closed, the customer-signed PDF is archived. In the event of a complaint or warranty claim, all documents are instantly accessible.

Stock and ERP Integration: Automatic Materials Tracking
Tracking the profiles, glass, fittings and consumables used in installation directly affects production costs. FieldCo integrates with more than 30 ERP systems including Logo, SAP, Nebim, Netsis and Mikro. Materials used in a work order are automatically deducted from ERP stock and the invoicing process begins.
For companies that do not use an ERP, FieldCo's own stock module is also available.
