Every BackSight feature, as it works today

Here’s every part of BackSight as it stands today. All of it works in the demo, with sample data.

The job card

Open a job to find its customer, site, crew and booking. The same card holds its checklist, materials, instruments, time, forms and notes. If a visit cannot be finished, record the reason and rebook it.

Five scheduler views

Use the week board to book work, or the roster to check start times and gaps. The whiteboard groups jobs by status, the Gantt shows longer jobs across a month, and the suburb view groups nearby work.

Invoices and claims

Raise an invoice from the job and record each payment. For staged work, set a claim schedule against the contract, with retention if needed. The invoice list shows what is paid, part-paid or overdue.
