What is a work order management system, and how does Worxit run one?
A work order management system dispatches field tasks and tracks each one until it is done. In Worxit's Work Orders module, the dashboard creates a work order with a priority, a due date and a linked form template, and assigns it to a technician. The technician accepts it on mobile, which starts time tracking, completes the form, captures timestamped photos and videos, and logs the parts used. The job then goes through multi-level approval, where a reviewer can reject it and send it back, before it closes with a full audit trail. Every work order moves through the same stages: created, assigned, accepted, in progress, review and completed. Managers see completion rates and time-to-completion across sites and technicians, and export reports to Excel or PDF. Licences follow standard Worxit pricing: the dashboard is R600 per month, including one admin user, and each phone, tablet or radio running the app needs a R350 monthly device licence, all ex VAT.

What do buyers ask about work order software?
Common questions from teams evaluating work orders.
What is a work order management system?
A work order management system dispatches field tasks and tracks them to completion. Zamatrack's Work Orders module in Worxit assigns jobs to technicians with priorities, due dates and linked forms, and tracks each one from created to completed, with timestamped photos and a full audit trail.
How do technicians receive and complete work orders?
Technicians accept assigned work orders on mobile, which starts time tracking. They complete the linked form, capture photos and videos, log the parts used, then submit the job for review.
Can completed work orders require approval?
Yes. Work can go through multi-level approval. A reviewer can reject a job and send it back, and each revision is tracked, so the closed record shows the full history.
