Mobile Worker

Mobile Worker brings task coordination, customer communication, and field records together for commercial and technical teams. It is a good fit for organizations that need visibility into mobile work without installing dedicated tracking equipment. The free tier is a useful small-team starting point, but its task and seat limits make Pro the more capable option for growing operations.

Overview

The app links incoming work to field execution: tasks can be imported from spreadsheets or connected through an API, then assigned and planned automatically. Workers can record visits and deliveries, enter orders and expenses, and keep working offline until connectivity returns. That joined-up workflow is its main strength; it is focused on field operations rather than broad workforce management.

Smartphone GPS supplies location and trip history, with alerts for unexpected stops and geofence entry or exit. Customers can receive ETA and status messages by SMS or email, as well as real-time tracking links. This can make field activity easier to follow for both dispatchers and customers, without separate tracking hardware.

Key features

• Task planning: Excel and CSV imports provide a practical way to move existing work into the app, while API connections can link customer systems. Automatic assignment and planning can reduce manual coordination, though teams should match their task volume to the plan caps.
• Proof of work: Photos, signatures, and other information can document deliveries, technical visits, installations, and sales. This creates a more complete record of completed work than task status alone.
• Orders and expenses: Mobile users can enter orders from a product catalog and log expenses with receipt photos. Orders sync to the web administrator, connecting field sales or service activity with office oversight.
• Offline operation: Workers can use the app without a connection, and data is sent when connectivity returns. That is useful for field work in areas with unreliable service, although updates will not reach the office until a connection is restored.
• API and equipment: The maker says its API can send and receive data between customer systems and the platform; API integrations are included in Advanced. Tracking relies on workers’ phones, with no extra tracking equipment required. The maker recommends iOS 15 or later and Android 11 or later.

The privacy policy describes encryption for certain personal information and physical and electronic safeguards, while acknowledging that interception cannot be ruled out. Information is processed and stored on servers in the United States and may be stored elsewhere; the policy cites Standard Contractual Clauses for certain transfers outside Guatemala. Organizations with specific data residency or security requirements should assess whether these arrangements suit them.

Pricing

Mobile Worker has a free Básico plan, a per-user Pro plan, and a custom-priced Advanced tier. The free option can support a small operation, but its five-user maximum and 100 tasks per month are meaningful constraints. Pro costs $25 a month, billed at $25/mes por usuario; its 15-user cap and 800 monthly tasks suit larger teams, but organizations exceeding either limit will need another arrangement.

A 15-day trial is offered. The published plan terms specify monthly billing and per-user rates, but do not state separate renewal terms. Pro is a significant step up from Básico not only in task allowance but also in tracking, notifications, supervisors, and support. Advanced is the route for API integrations, but its custom pricing means teams must contact sales to assess the cost.

Platforms

Mobile Worker is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an API for integrations. The recommended mobile OS versions are iOS 15 or later and Android 11 or later. The employee mobile app is part of the product.

Who it's for

Mobile Worker is strongest for commercial and technical field teams coordinating visits, documenting work, and keeping customers informed. It is particularly suitable where workers may lose connectivity and where managers want smartphone-based location visibility alongside task and order records. Teams with very low monthly volume can start on Básico; those needing real-time tracking and customer messaging should consider Pro. Teams that need API integrations should assess Advanced pricing. It is less suitable for organizations seeking a broad workforce-management suite rather than a field-operations workflow.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Field work and proof stay connected. Tasks, photos, signatures, orders, and expenses can be handled through one mobile workflow, with orders syncing to the web administrator.
• Pro: Useful visibility without extra hardware. Smartphone GPS, trip history, geofence alerts, and customer tracking links connect dispatch oversight with customer updates.
• Pro: Offline use supports intermittent connectivity. Workers can continue using the app and send data once service returns.
• Con: Básico is tightly capped. Five users, 100 monthly tasks, one file per task, and 1GB of storage can limit a team that grows or needs richer records.
• Con: Pro also has a hard team ceiling. Its 15-user maximum and 800 monthly tasks may rule it out for larger or busier operations.
• Con: API access requires custom-priced Advanced. Teams that need system integration cannot get it on the free or Pro plans.

• Infor Workforce Management is worth considering for buyers seeking a workforce-management product and prepared to contact Infor for sales information.
• GetWFM is a fit for teams seeking web and API-based scheduling, attendance, team management, and time-off tools; its free Team plan supports unlimited employees, with limits of 3 teams, 1 timezone, and 1 month of history.

• Logile Workforce Management is an enterprise retail workforce-management suite with pricing by quote.

Verdict

Choose Mobile Worker for a commercial or technical field team that needs task planning, customer updates, location visibility, and documented proof of work in one app. Its offline support and smartphone GPS make it practical for mobile operations without extra tracking equipment. Look elsewhere if your team exceeds Pro’s 15-user limit, needs API integration but cannot accommodate custom pricing, or wants a broader workforce-management suite.
