User Listing- Adding a Technician
Service Tracker is a simple “plugin” and “mobile application” designed for business or organisations to add service requests, link the work to a customer, assign a worker or technician , set a booking time and finally update status on job progress.
After activation of the plugin, you’ll find Services on the WordPress admin screen menu. The services or jobs can be added in the admin.

This tool allows their employees to add a job or work, link the work to a customer, assign a worker or technician , set a booking time and finally update status on job progress.
