Help / Running the work

Working offline

Signal dies exactly where you work. Quotrr keeps working anyway.

Signal dies exactly where you work: behind the house, in the pump room, under the deck. Quotrr is built to keep working with no signal and catch up when bars return.

What works offline

Create a lead, build and edit a proposal, log work on a job, add tasks, take photos, use voice Quick Capture. The records you already loaded are there, and the changes you make stick on the device. See The work pipeline for the records this covers.

The write queue

Every offline change goes into a local queue, in order, and each queued item shows a visible Will sync tag. You always know what lives only on your phone and what made it to the cloud. No guessing, and no spinner pretending everything is safe when it is sitting in your pocket.

When signal returns

The queue uploads in order on its own. Photos, notes, tasks, edits, and logs go up, the tags clear, and the server catches up to what you did in the field. No sync button, no babysitting a progress bar.

What honestly needs signal

Anything that has to reach the customer: sending a proposal, delivering an invoice, taking an Apple Pay payment. Those go out when you have bars, and you can see them waiting. The split is plain. Work that touches only your records runs offline. Work that reaches the customer waits for signal.

How photos and voice notes behave day to day is covered in Field capture and photos.
