As a company, ConnectWise believes and heavily invests in continuous improvement. Offering great software is truly at the foundation of what we do as evidenced by two of our core values:

“Breathe Innovation” and “Obsess With Partner Success”.

With our core values to guide us, we've created a brand new ConnectWise Mobile app, taking the most popular features and combining them with a new user-friendly interface designed to help service techs complete assigned tasks quickly and efficiently.

What’s different about the brand new ConnectWise Mobile App?

See your agenda at a glance, update ticket status and notes, track time with a stopwatch, submit expenses, and more—all while on the go.

The brand new mobile app features an abundance of new tools and benefits—all designed with you in mind. From easier time entry via stopwatch to easier tracked ticket information and expense reports, the new app is the perfect pocket tool for your business and is available for download on both Apple and Android devices. Let’s take a look at some of the additions to the new app, designed to help your business succeed.

Companies and contact management

  • Easily access contact info: Never lose access to that colleague’s or customer’s phone number when you’re away from your desk. With the ability to easily find the company and/or contact information you’re looking for, you can then call that contact directly within the app.
  • Search: Search for tickets, companies, contacts, and configurations. Finding the items and information you need to do your job just got that much earlier!

Agenda

  • Get a list view of the schedule entries, activities, projects, and service tickets you are assigned to as a resource. Simply tap a ticket from the list to quickly make updates to the record. Working through your assigned tasks has never been more convenient.
  • You can also create a new service ticket or enter time and expenses from an existing service ticket.

Time tracking

  • Don’t give yourself time entry homework at the end of every day. The app’s newest features include:
    • Easy time tracking as it happens in the moment by starting a stopwatch. All stopwatch timers convert to time entry—so you won’t lose money if you forget a time entry!
  • Stopwatch: From a ticket, start the stopwatch timer to track your time spent on that task. It follows all time, on time—all the time. This leads to more billable time, which leads to more revenue and better reporting. The stopwatch features include:
    • The ability to pause and start the timer as needed when multitasking across many tickets.
    • A list view of all active and paused stopwatch timers. On this screen, you can also create a time entry easily.

Expense tracking

  • Take a picture and submit expenses with ease!
    • The image prints with the expense report.
    • The image is automatically attached for approvals

Attach photos to tickets

  • Easily update your SOWs with images from your mobile phone.
  • Give direct images for easily resolving issues in the future.
  • Documenting devices makes it easy to save time working future tickets.

Look out for our upcoming Facebook live stream on Friday, August 23rd at 12:30pm as we chat through the new Mobile App with product experts, Chris Markam (Quality Assurance Analyst) and Tricia Marcolini (Product Manager).
