What is proof of service software?

Proof of service software creates a verified record that a field service visit happened. It combines GPS check-ins, timestamps, photo evidence, checklists, notes, signatures, and client-ready reports so service businesses can prove work was completed.

For teams that work away from the office, proof of service is the difference between saying "we did it" and having evidence ready when a client asks.

Direct answer

It is the evidence layer for field service work.

Scheduling tells a team where to go. Proof of service shows what happened once they got there. The best systems make proof part of the job flow, so workers capture evidence as they work instead of rebuilding the story later.
