About this app

AppCan – everything your company needs for field working.

AppCan for Android is the perfect tool for field-based staff such as engineers, data audit collectors or inspectors. You can use it to collect data, distribute safety-related documentation, and even send alerts to your people in the field.

What’s more, it’s secure, and you can easily customise it to suit your company’s needs.

APPCAN – THE TOOL FOR BUSINESS FIELD WORK
AppCan gives you the power and flexibility you need in fieldwork software, without the expensive development costs. And it’s all wrapped up in the convenience of a mobile app.

You can configure AppCan to suit your business using our clean, simple and intuitive web interface.

TAILOR YOUR FIELD DATA COLLECTION
Using AppCan’s web interface, you can create data collection forms, tailor-made for your business. Your employees can then collect the data your business needs in the format you prefer.

MAKE DATA COLLECTION EASIER BY DESIGNING YOUR OWN REPORTS
‘Report Builder’ is a simple web interface that lets you create bespoke report templates for presenting data collected using AppCan. Soft copies of these reports can be printed to PDF and re-distributed via AppCan to users as key safety-related material.

ACCESS IMPORTANT DOCUMENTATION – IN THE FIELD
No need to carry hard copies or search online, AppCan lets your field workers access craft manuals, safety product sheets, technical specifications or other important information directly from their Android phone or tablet.

AppCan’s web interface lets you build your own folder structure for storing documents, before deciding which documents are pushed to AppCan on your users’ devices.

KEEP EVERYONE UP-TO-DATE
AppCan’s ‘Alerts’ function lets you broadcast messages to selected employees. Far more efficient than text messages or email, even offering a ‘read’ function, to let you know which of your recipients have seen your message.

INTERROGATE YOUR DATA ANY WHICH WAY
What’s the point in gathering data if you can’t slice and dice it the way you like? Our exceptional data grids let you edit, sort, filter, group, print and export your mobile records to your heart’s content.

KEEP ALL YOUR INFORMATION SECURE
AppCan uses security of the same standard you’d find on a banking app, with high security encryption on the web backend too.

Speaking of your data, it’s worth mentioning here that we guarantee your data is always yours. If you choose, you can even exclude AppCan staff from having access to the data held within your part of our cloud storage solution.
