EVERY FEATURE, EXPLAINED

How each part of TaskForge actually works.

Not a feature list of one-liners - a real explanation of what each part does, how it works, and how it connects to everything else. Read through it and see for yourself whether this is genuinely built for how you work.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ TICKETING & FIELD OPS

The day-to-day of running jobs, from the moment something's reported through to a signed-off, documented completion.

๐Ÿ—‚๏ธ
Job Cards & Ticketing

Every job is its own record from the moment it's reported โ€” whether that's a client calling in, a client submitting it themselves through the End-User App, or the system generating one automatically. Each job card carries a priority, a status, an assignee, and a full activity log of every comment, status change, and action taken against it, so anyone can see exactly what's happened and when without having to ask around.

๐Ÿ”
Daily Site Checks

For clients on a recurring maintenance schedule, a job card generates itself automatically the moment a check comes due โ€” no one has to remember to raise it manually. It arrives pre-filled with the checklist for that site, ready for a technician to work through.

๐Ÿ“‹
Handover Log

At the end of a shift, a technician logs what's outstanding, what's been completed, and anything the next person on site needs to know. It's a permanent record, not a verbal handoff that gets lost โ€” the next technician can read exactly where things stood before they arrived.

๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ
Print-Ready Exports

Any job card can be generated as a clean, printable document on the spot โ€” useful when a client wants a physical copy signed on site, or for your own paper records.

๐Ÿฆบ
Health & Safety Checklists

Configurable checklists that both technicians and clients complete as part of a job. Any answer flagged as a concern is automatically surfaced for follow-up, rather than sitting unnoticed in a completed form.

Team & up
โœ๏ธ
Digital 3-Stage Sign-off

A job isn't done until three things happen: the technician confirms the work, the client signs off electronically on the spot, and a manager gives final approval. Once all three are in, a complete PDF โ€” with photos and every signature โ€” is emailed out automatically, with nothing to assemble by hand.

Business & up
๐Ÿ“…
Calendar & Scheduling

An executive view across every technician's week, or filtered down to just one person, colour-coded by technician and priority โ€” so dispatching the next job means actually seeing who's free, not guessing.

๐Ÿ“
Live GPS Tracking

Technician locations update automatically from the mobile app onto a live map. Before dispatching a new job, you can see at a glance who's actually closest, instead of calling around to check.

Team & up
๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ REMOTE & NETWORK

Everything to do with actually reaching and managing a client's systems, without leaving TaskForge for a separate tool.

๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ
RMM & Remote Access

Every monitored device reports its status back continuously. From directly inside a job card, a technician looks up the relevant device by the username on the ticket and connects in one click โ€” there's no separate RMM console to open, no IP address to hunt down first.

Team & up
๐Ÿšจ
System Uptime Monitoring

Critical servers are watched around the clock from the always-on Office Server, not from a technician's own PC that might be switched off. The moment one goes down, a job card is created automatically and both an email and a push notification go out immediately โ€” nothing waits for someone to happen to notice.

๐Ÿ“ก
Discovered Devices

A network scan shows every device actually present on it. Standalone gets a basic scan; Team and up get the full picture, including devices that were never manually added as assets.

๐ŸŒ
IP Address Book

A living, always-current record of every static IP, VLAN, and subnet across every site you manage โ€” the kind of reference sheet that normally lives in someone's head or a forgotten spreadsheet.

๐Ÿ–ฒ๏ธ
iLO / iDRAC Server Management

Check a server's power state and health, or power-cycle it remotely, directly from its asset record โ€” no separate BMC login, no switching tools mid-job.

Team & up
๐Ÿ“ถ
UniFi Controller Integration

Pull live client and device data straight from a site's UniFi controller without opening a separate browser tab or logging into a different system.

Team & up
โŒจ๏ธ
SSH Terminal Access

A full terminal session to any server, opened directly from its asset record in TaskForge โ€” no separate SSH client to configure with saved connections.

Team & up
๐Ÿ’ฌ TEAM & COMMS

How your own team communicates, stays organised, and keeps sensitive information secure.

๐Ÿ’ฌ
WhatsApp Integration

Job updates go out to clients automatically over WhatsApp โ€” configurable per client, so it's only active where a client actually wants it. No separate messaging app for your technicians to juggle alongside everything else.

Team & up
โ˜Ž๏ธ
PBX Caller ID Screen-Pop

An incoming call is matched instantly against your clients and staff records, so their details pop up on screen before you've even picked up โ€” with a new job card one click away if the call turns into one.

Team & up
๐Ÿ”
Encrypted Credentials Vault

Passwords stored properly โ€” encrypted at rest, not in a spreadsheet or a sticky note. They're organised into your own, shared, and per-client credentials, and every single view or change is logged automatically, so there's a real audit trail if you ever need one.

๐Ÿค–
AI Assistant

Ask plain-language questions like "what's overdue" or "what's down right now" and get a real answer pulled from your actual data. Works rule-based by default with no setup, or connect your own Gemini key for fuller natural-language understanding.

Team & up
๐Ÿ‘ฅ
Staff Directory

Every technician's contact details and role, one click away โ€” useful the moment a client asks "who's coming out?" and you need an answer immediately, not after checking three places.

๐Ÿ“
Shared Files

A common drop for site diagrams, configuration files, and reference documents your whole team needs to reach, instead of scattered across individual laptops.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ
Leave & HR Management

Staff submit leave requests โ€” annual, sick, unpaid, or other โ€” with a date range and a reason. A manager approves or rejects each one directly, and the full history stays visible either way, properly tracked instead of living in a spreadsheet or a chat message.

Team & up
๐Ÿ’ป ASSETS & KNOWLEDGE

What's actually installed where, what's in stock to fix it, and the reference material your team needs on hand.

๐Ÿ’ป
Asset Tracking

Know exactly what's installed where โ€” make, model, warranty status, and a complete history of every job that's ever touched that specific device, not just a static inventory list.

๐Ÿ“ฑ
QR Code Asset Lookup

Print a QR code onto any physical asset. Scan it with a phone on site and its full record comes up instantly โ€” no searching, no typing in a serial number by hand.

๐Ÿ“ฆ
Stock & Inventory

Track what's actually on the shelf, and get warned before you run out mid-job rather than discovering it stood in front of a client.

๐Ÿญ
Vendor Contacts

Every supplier and their support line kept in one place, instead of a sticky note or a scattered set of old emails you have to search through.

๐Ÿ“–
Knowledge Base

Printer setup guides, common fixes, and reference articles your whole team can search instantly โ€” so a fix one technician worked out once is available to everyone else going forward, not lost once that ticket closes.

Team & up
๐Ÿš—
Vehicle Fleet & Travel Costing

Register your vehicles with a cost-per-kilometre rate, and job cards calculate real driving-distance travel charges automatically โ€” including multi-stop days โ€” instead of estimating or leaving travel off the invoice entirely.

Team & up
๐Ÿ“Š BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE

The numbers and structure that let you actually run the business, not just do the jobs.

๐Ÿ“Š
Executive Dashboards

A rollup view across every site and every technician in one place โ€” the numbers leadership actually wants to see, without having to build a report to get them.

Business & up
โฑ๏ธ
SLA Reporting

Separate monthly remote and onsite hour quotas, set per client, with only the specific work types you choose actually counted against them. Go over the agreed hours and it flags automatically before you bill outside the contract, rather than finding out during a client dispute.

Business & up
๐Ÿข
Client & Site Management

A genuine client hierarchy โ€” each client's own sites and locations live properly underneath them, not mixed into a flat list alongside your own offices. This structure is also what powers the Client Map, since it's the site addresses that get plotted.

Business & up
๐Ÿ“‹
Compliance Document Tracking

SLA contracts, Letters of Good Standing, tax clearance certificates, and similar documents are stored per client, each with its own expiry date. Anything expiring soon shows up as a live count on the main dashboard, so a lapsed document doesn't go unnoticed until a client asks for it.

Business & up
๐Ÿ“ˆ
Advanced Reporting

A custom report builder with real exports, for anything the standard dashboard views don't already cover.

Business & up
๐Ÿ“
Client Map

Every client site with a valid address is plotted automatically onto a single map โ€” geocoded the moment the address is saved, with nothing extra to configure. See your whole coverage area at a glance instead of picturing it from a list.

Business & up
๐ŸŽฏ
Sales Pipeline

Track a prospect โ€” company name, contact details, an estimated deal value โ€” through stages from first contact to won or lost. The moment a lead is marked won, converting it creates a real client record directly, with the contact details already carried over, and the original lead stays on record as a history of where that client came from.

Team & up
๐Ÿ“„ QUOTES & BILLING

From a first quote through to a paid invoice, as one connected flow instead of separate, disconnected steps.

๐Ÿ“„
Quotes โ†’ Sales Orders โ†’ Invoices

Build a quote, convert it into a confirmed sales order the moment it's accepted, and generate the client invoice from it โ€” all one connected flow using the exact same line items throughout, with nothing re-typed at any step.

Team & up
๐Ÿ›’
Purchase Orders

Spawn a supplier purchase order directly from a sales order, to cover the parts needed to actually fulfil it โ€” linked back to the order that triggered it.

Team & up
๐Ÿงพ
Job Costing & Invoicing

Labour hours, travel distance, and any parts used on a job all roll up automatically into an invoice the instant that job card is signed off โ€” nothing has to be manually reconstructed from memory after the fact.

Team & up
๐Ÿ’ณ
Client Billing Terms & Credit Control

Set COD or 30-day payment terms individually per client. An overdue balance, or a COD client with an outstanding amount, flags automatically before any new work proceeds โ€” catching it before the job, not after.

Business & up
๐Ÿงพ
Expense Claims

Technicians submit fuel, parking, tolls, and other job-related expenses โ€” amount, date, a short description โ€” directly from the app. A manager approves or rejects each claim, with the total pending amount visible at a glance.

Team & up
๐Ÿ‘ฅ ROLES & PERMISSIONS

Five roles, so every person only sees what their job actually needs.

TaskForge uses proper role-based access control - not everyone with a login can do everything. Job sign-off requirements scale with the role too: a Technician's work needs three separate sign-offs (technician, a senior/manager/accounts reviewer, and the client), while a Manager or Senior Technician can sign off with just their own approval and an optional client signature.

๐Ÿ”ง
Technician

Primarily focused on doing the work - full access to jobs, assets, stock, network information, RMM, remote access, operations, maps, clients, and expenses. Leave is application-only, and technicians can't reach administrative controls like SLA policies, accounting administration, or system settings.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
Senior Technician

Everything a Technician has, plus supervisory reach: the job archive, reports, the executive dashboard, the sales pipeline, SLA policies, vehicles, accounting documents, alert rules, settings, and additional sign-off authority on completed jobs.

๐Ÿ‘”
Manager

The broadest operational role - technical operations, HR, accounting, and reporting all in one. Managers approve leave, manage accounting functions, access executive reporting, sign off jobs, manage SLA policies, and reach system management functions.

๐Ÿ’ฐ
Accounts

Focused on financial and administrative operations, while retaining visibility into the business: accounting templates, quotes, sales orders, purchase orders, job invoices, and statements. Accounts can also approve leave, access reports, and participate in job sign-offs.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ
Read Only

Built for anyone who needs visibility without the ability to make changes. Read Only users can see selected jobs, reports, maps, clients, accounting documents, and compliance information - but they can never sign off a job card or alter a record.
