AWRA OpsHub Search

For logistics & field service

Make the field as visible as the warehouse

Job cards with the evidence attached, van stock that reconciles nightly, and tools with names on them. Stock movement is captured with no signal and syncs on return; job cards and selling are not offline, and the scope section says exactly where that line sits. Fuel is an expense coded to a project rather than a consumption log.

Sound familiar?

If any of these ring true, you are exactly who this was built for.

The evening reconstruction

What happened out there arrives as crumpled paperwork, WhatsApp photos, and numbers that reconcile approximately.

The van that returns empty-ish

Loaded full, sold some, returned some — and the difference belongs to nobody.

Fuel with no arithmetic

The fleet is the second-biggest cost and the least accounted — liters never meet kilometers.

Apps that die with the signal

Field software that needs connectivity becomes head-office fiction the first bad-signal Tuesday.

What you get with AWRA OpsHub

Each capability links to a deeper feature tour.

Offline stock and asset capture

Four operations captured with no connectivity — stock transfers, inventory check-out and check-in, and asset movements — synced when the network returns. Job cards and deliveries need a connection.

Job cards with evidence

Photos and documents attached to the job, stock issued against it with a reason and a person, and time recorded — one record from dispatch to done. Two honest gaps, and both are about the job card specifically: it carries no GPS coordinate, and there is no customer signature on the job itself, so job sign-off is a photo or a note rather than a signed record. Signatures do exist on the stock and asset movements beneath it — the material issued to the job can be signed for, the completed job cannot.

Van stock control

Load-out transfers to a location per van, on-route movements, and nightly variance — with a named custodian on every van.

Equipment custody

Tools and instruments issued to named people, verified weekly, cleared at exit.

Vehicles as custodied assets

Every vehicle on the asset register with a named custodian and full movement history, and custody movements carry a GPS stamp — which is where location actually is captured. Fuel is an ordinary expense coded to a project; it does not attach to the vehicle, no distance is held, so cost-per-kilometre cannot be computed. No maintenance visit, service interval or next-service date is recorded.

Field payments

Cash and M-Pesa collected on-site, recorded against the job at collection time.

Signed for at the point of handover

Stock issued to a crew, an asset handed to a named person, a delivery accepted at a site — each can carry a drawn signature with the signer's printed name and the time. A transfer takes two, one at dispatch and one at receipt. It works with no signal, because the mark travels with the movement rather than as an upload.

How teams get started

1

Pick one route or crew

Van stock or job cards live on one team — two weeks of parallel running builds the proof.

2

Run the nightly loop

Sync, count, reconcile — variance attributed same-day, and it shrinks within a month.

3

Scale to the fleet

Routes, crews, and vehicles onboard one at a time; route contribution becomes a report.

Van Stock & Site Custody: Inventory That Travels

The van is a warehouse that drives away; the site is a store with no walls — load-out transfers, nightly variance, job-costed materials, and crew custody.

A Department Is a Name and a Description

Fourteen tables point at the department list — payroll, budgets, purchase orders, assets, tickets, projects and the workflow queue. The record they point at holds two fields, the settings menu calls it a cost centre, and deleting one checks four of the fourteen.

The Receipt the Provider Gave You

When a message is handed to a mail or messaging provider, the provider hands back an identifier — its receipt for what it just accepted. There is a place to keep that identifier and nothing puts anything in it, so our record of a message and theirs cannot be joined.

The Pause That Nothing Ends

A workflow can be built with a wait in the middle — do this, pause three days, then do that. The pause works. Everything before it runs, the run is marked paused, and the log names the date it will continue. Nothing in the product ever comes back to it.

Questions we are asked here

Frequently asked questions

Does it really work with no signal at all?

Yes — capture is fully local (jobs, stock movements, photos, GPS stamps) and syncs when connectivity returns, whether that is an hour or three days later. Run the airplane-mode test in the demo: a complete field day with the network off.

What devices do field teams need?

Ordinary Android phones. Photo and GPS evidence needs nothing exotic; plan for charging discipline and screen-readable workflows rather than hardware budgets.

Can drivers sell from the van like a mobile POS?

They can sell with a connection, and this is the question to be exact about because the answer shapes the route. A van sale decrements van stock and rolls into the nightly reconciliation alongside deliveries, so stock and money close together per route — but selling requires a connection on both the web app and mobile, so a van going out of coverage cannot take a sale while it is out there. What does work with no signal is stock movement: transfers, check-out and check-in, and asset movements. If your routes run through genuine dead zones, plan selling around coverage rather than assuming the van carries a till.

How does this connect to the warehouse and the books?

Natively — van load-outs are transfers from depot stock, job materials post to job costs, field payments land on invoices, and fleet costs post per vehicle. The field is a set of locations in the same governed system, not a satellite app.
