The Challenge

OperadoraTech faced a critical operational bottleneck. Their field technicians were still operating with paper-based work orders in 2023, creating massive inefficiencies across their service delivery chain. Installation and repair appointments required multiple office visits, service completion took 3-5 days to process administratively, and data accuracy was a persistent problem with 15-20% of work orders containing errors or missing information. The company had attempted to build a custom mobile solution using traditional development methods, but after 14 months the project was nowhere near completion and stakeholder requirements kept evolving. Management needed a solution fast, they were losing market share to competitors with digital field operations. The technical requirements were demanding: the system needed to work offline in areas with poor connectivity, integrate with legacy billing and inventory systems, support complex service workflows varying by product type, handle photo documentation and digital signatures, and provide real-time visibility to dispatchers and customer service teams. Time-to-market was critical, the executive team gave IT just 6 months to deliver a working solution or face potential outsourcing of field operations technology.

Our Solution

XCodeIT leveraged OutSystems ODC (OutSystems Developer Cloud) to rapidly architect and deploy a comprehensive field service management platform. The low-code approach enabled iterative development with continuous stakeholder feedback, delivering enterprise-grade functionality in a fraction of traditional timelines.

OutSystems ODC low-code platform enabling rapid application development with visual modeling, automatic code generation, and built-in mobile optimization reducing development time by 75%
Offline-first mobile architecture allowing technicians to access work orders, update statuses, capture photos, and collect signatures without internet connectivity, with automatic synchronization when connection resumes
RESTful API integration layer connecting to 6 legacy backend systems including SQL Server databases, SAP billing, Oracle inventory management, and customer relationship management tools
Dynamic workflow engine supporting 23 different service types with conditional logic, validation rules, and automated routing based on technician skills, location proximity, and equipment requirements
Real-time dashboard for dispatchers providing live visibility into technician locations, work order status, SLA compliance tracking, and intelligent reassignment capabilities during schedule disruptions
Comprehensive digital documentation with photo capture, equipment serial number scanning via camera, customer signature collection, and automatic generation of completion reports sent via SMS and email

"OutSystems with XCodeIT's expertise was a game-changer for us. We went from drowning in paper to having real-time digital operations in just 4 months. Our technicians adapted immediately because the mobile interface is so intuitive. The offline capability was essential, many of our installation sites have spotty connectivity. What impressed me most was how XCodeIT involved our field supervisors throughout development, the final product truly reflects what technicians need, not what developers thought they needed."
