Work Order Management System

ELX

Contractor management, work order lifecycle, field execution, digital inspections, approval chains, SLA monitoring and document control.

The problem

A work order is a contract between an organisation and the field. When it lives in email and paper, nobody can say which stage it is at, whether the contractor met the agreed response time, or what evidence exists that the work was actually completed to standard.

System architecture

How the system is put together.

  1. Work order
  2. Contractor
  3. Field team
  4. Inspection
  5. Approval
  6. Closure
01

Work order lifecycle

Creation through to closure, with each state change recorded and attributed.

02

Contractor management

Companies, crews and scopes of work held against the orders assigned to them.

03

Field execution

The crew’s view — what to do, where, and what evidence to capture.

04

Digital inspection

Structured checklists producing comparable records rather than free text.

05

Approval chains

Multi-stage sign-off with delegation and escalation built in.

06

SLA monitoring

Response and completion times measured against what was agreed.

Capabilities

  • Audit trail
  • Operational reporting

Technical overview

A state machine sits at the centre: every work order occupies exactly one defined state, and every transition is permissioned, timestamped and attributed. SLA timers attach to states rather than to the order as a whole, so pauses for access or materials are measured separately from contractor performance.
