Facilities management work happens on site—not behind desks. Android apps give engineers the tools they need to complete jobs, inspections and paperwork efficiently, even in locations with poor connectivity.
Why Android Works So Well for FM

Offline-First Is Essential in FM
Plant rooms, basements and remote sites often have no signal. Offline-first design ensures:
- Jobs and asset data cached on device
- Photos and forms stored securely
- Automatic sync when connectivity returns
How Android Fits with the Web System
- Web app: planning, reporting, configuration
- Android app: execution and evidence capture
Try Asking…
- “Show asset history for this boiler.”
- “Complete PPM checklist for Site A.”
- “Capture photos and sign off this job.”
If your engineers are still using paper or generic apps, a bespoke Android solution can dramatically reduce admin.
