Native mobile app: field essentials, not web parity
Push alerts, buildings, surveillance, and compliance in your pocket: the mobile app complements the web where urgency and mobility matter.
Octowise Team
A mobile app that copies the web pixel for pixel is unreadable in a car park or a plant room. Octowise iOS / Android targets field workflows: action center, push alerts, buildings, surveillance, finance, and compliance, with the same badge, contrast, and form standards as the web, but navigation designed for the phone.
An action center, not a dashboard
The mobile home does not try to reproduce executive charts. It shows what needs a reaction: unread-alert preview, recent buildings, quick links (contacts, contractors, calendar, action plans). It is a pocket workstation, not a committee report.
The alert bell stays top-right, with an unread badge, not in a bottom bar already used by Home, Portfolio, Finance, and Settings. Surveillance has its own list, with severity filters, not a second “alert” icon that would duplicate the bell.
Per-type notifications, not a single firehose
Surveillance, BACS, OPERAT, DPE expiry, overdue invoices: each type can be toggled. An energy lead does not need the same mix as a site manager. Push notifications are mobile-only; the web keeps the in-app history.
If notifications are not configured for the organization, push simply stays inactive: no false promise. At login, the app checks that the server is reachable before opening a session.
- Push per alert type, configurable in settings.
- Organization pairing by QR code (address only, never credentials).
- Email / password or Microsoft sign-in.
- Connection check at login.
The building in your pocket
The building record uses a section menu rather than a horizontal tab row that is unreadable with a thumb. Summary, equipment, contacts, interventions, documents, tertiary decree, BACS register, AI analysis: each section’s state is preserved. A subtitle under the building name reminds you where you are.
Lists (contacts, equipment, action plans) reuse web visual codes: colored badges, avatars, contextual actions in a panel. Deletions ask for confirmation; sign-out is immediate.
Complement the web, don’t replace it
Excel contact import, advanced dashboard composition, or fine indicator setup remain more comfortable on the web. Mobile shines when you need to see an alert, confirm a DPE, preview a PDF, or find a building on the internal map, with no external Google Maps link.
QR from the connected web app: you scan, the organization is linked, the app checks the connection, then the user signs in. No address to type by hand.
