case file CF-03 — site & maintenance jobs
From "it's broken" to signed off.
Faults get reported in hallways and group chats, fixed from memory, and proven never. machtask puts every job on the record — reported by anyone, worked with a checklist, closed with sign-off.
- faults reported by text, phone and post-it
- contractors chased from memory
- safety steps that live in someone's head
- no proof the work was done
- "which invoice was that job?"
Anyone on site raises a fault — requesters are unlimited, so reporting costs nothing. Facilities triage it, the crew works a guided checklist, and the job closes with photos and sign-off on the record.

Reporting a fault takes a minute from a phone — which is why it actually happens.

The job moves itself between teams
Automated handoffAssess done means the crew's queue has the job; fix done means sign-off is waiting for the manager.
Overdue raises its own alarm
Deadline alertsPriority sets the clock; a job going overdue raises an email alert automatically — no whiteboard audit required.
See crew load and looming deadlines
Watch TowerThe facilities board: which crew is loaded, which jobs are unclaimed, what breaches in the next 24 hours — and reassign when someone calls in sick.
Log work done on the spot
Quick LogFixed it on sight? The crew logs it in seconds after the fact — it counts in the same reporting as dispatched jobs.
Every job has a record
From the first report to the final sign-off — who, what, when, and the photos to prove it.
Safety steps, presented every time
Required safety steps appear consistently on every job — reinforcing training and supervision, never replacing them.
Sign-off means proof
Completion is an approval with evidence attached, not a verbal "yeah, done".
