DockMaster Mobile

A Progressive Web App built for service technicians. Clock in, manage work orders, check out parts, search boats, and upload attachments — all from any device, even without an internet connection.

No app store needed — install directly from your browser

Works on iOS, Android, tablets, and desktop browsers

Built for the Dock, the Yard, and the Water

True offline-first architecture means your technicians never lose work — even in areas with no signal.

How It Works

  • Mutations queue locally when offline and sync automatically
  • IndexedDB storage ensures no data loss across sessions
  • Service worker precaches the entire app for instant load
  • Background sync retries failed uploads with exponential backoff

What Works Offline

  • View previously loaded schedules and time cards
  • Browse cached boat details and work orders
  • Compose time entries (submitted on reconnect)
  • Review attachments stored in local cache

Photo & File Attachments

Capture photos, upload documents, and attach files to any work order — online or offline. Everything syncs automatically with DockMaster Desktop.

  • Camera capture (front/rear) or photo gallery picker
  • Upload PDFs, images, and documents (up to 50 MB)
  • Offline storage with automatic upload on reconnect
  • Attachments linked to specific Work Order operations
  • File security: extension whitelisting and MIME validation
  • Optional descriptions for each attachment

Upload Flow

  1. 1Open time clock or time card entry
  2. 2Tap camera, gallery, or file browser
  3. 3File validates and uploads to S3 storage
  4. 4Attachment appears in DockMaster Desktop instantly

If offline, files are stored locally and upload automatically when connectivity returns.

Geofence Time Tracking

Ensure technicians can only clock in and out when they're physically at the marina. Set a GPS boundary around your yard and let the app enforce it automatically.

  • Define a center point and radius around your marina or yard
  • Technicians are blocked from clocking in outside the boundary
  • Strict mode requires GPS — no location means no clock-in
  • Violations are logged for admin review
  • Optional per-technician — enable only for the crews that need it
  • Works alongside schedule and time clock features

How Geofencing Works

  1. 1Admin sets the marina's GPS coordinates and fence radius
  2. 2Technician opens the time clock and taps Clock In
  3. 3App checks GPS position against the geofence boundary
  4. 4If inside: clock-in proceeds. If outside: blocked with alert

Geofencing is optional and configured server-side — no setup needed on the technician's device.
