Create a QR Code to sign in to the vWork mobile app

  • Updated

Most of our customers assign jobs to people, but some assign work to a specific vehicle that may be driven by many different team members.  In this case, to use the vWork app you can mount a phone permanently in each vehicle and keep it signed in to vWork, or a better option is to have the driver use their own phone and sign in with the vehicle's details whenever they start using it. You can make the sign-in process quick and easy for your team by creating a unique QR code for the vehicle. 

When you create a QR code for a vehicle this enables workers who drive multiple vehicles to quickly log in and see all the jobs assigned to the vehicle they are currently driving.  Drivers can easily change between vehicles and complete the jobs assigned to those vehicles. The QR code instantly logs the driver in with the vehicle's vWork User details. No emails or passwords are needed which makes things simpler for the driver and the dispatcher.

  5. Save the image to your computer for later use or print it out, laminate it, and stick it to the dashboard of the vehicle.
