• What: FAStrack Mobile, an application for approved Android
Smartphone devices
• Who: All qualifying Vendors
• When: Starting last quarter of 2011

Project Overview

What Vendors are saying

“FAStrack Mobile saves our company thousands of dollars a month. We have
eliminated hours of work a day by knowing where our crews are and receiving photos of
what is happening as soon as it occurs in the field.
-- Darin Bush – Integrity Contracting (multi-state vendor)

“As a small outfit, we were skeptical when told we needed to purchase expensive
Smartphones to send photos into FAS. Once we started using the solution it became
obvious this was a time saver, and easily pays for itself….we are no longer messing
around with memory cards and point/shoot cameras, saving us hours a day!”
-- Kevin Barbot – Barbot Property Solutions (Local owner/operator)

“The FAStrack Mobile project has been a real benefit to our company. It reduces the
typical costs of doing the paperwork and photo management for this industry. FAS is, by
far, the best property preservation company we work with…we want to get more work
from FAS!”
-- Shane Steel - Greener Garden Estate Management (Local owner/operator)

“We significantly reduce our liability by using FAStrack Mobile. We have trusted third
party photos and certified service records for each job. This alone can save our
business!
-- Jeff Schmitt - Cascade Homes (Local owner/operator)
Vendor Benefits

areas
• Eliminates redundant data entry
o Allows streamlined association of photos to work orders, surveys and
services

performed.

How it works

Work Flow for Field Vendor

Launch FAStrack Mobile on a certified Smartphone
1) Review current FAS work orders on phone and choose work order
2) Use phones turn-by-turn navigation to arrive at property address
3) Start work at jobsite (GPS will indicate proper location)
4) Take photos that are easily tagged before/after for each services performed
5) Photos are sent to myFAStrack, automatically queued for review
6) When approved photos automatically tagged and transmitted to FAS along with
a Certified Service Record for all photos captured at jobsite.

 Crew photos in myFAStrack as soon as crew starts work
o Know where your crews are located
 Watch work as it occurs, make sure all photos are captured
o No more waiting for photos from crew’s memory card!
 Photos securely stored in your online account
o Photos stored on phone SD card as backup
o Photos third party certified, proving work was performed

Take Photos using approved Smartphone Devices. Photos sent to myFAStrack
in near real time. No more emailing photos! Photos in your online account.

Section 2:
Implementation Resources
Vendor Resource Time Estimates

Use the table below as an estimate to help you plan for the transition to
FAStrack Mobile over a three (3) week work plan. These estimates are based
on previous implementation experiences. Depending on the complexity of your
organization, these estimates may change. Additionally a single resource in
your organization can fulfill some or all of the roles identified below, if qualified to
do so.

Estimated Vendor Resources required by Role
Role Estimated effort
Executive Sponsor
As needed to escalate issues
(Owner/Principal of company)
Technical Trainer
1-2 hours to understand FAStrack Mobile
(Vendor IT Lead)
Crew Lead taking photos 1 hour to understand FAStrack Mobile trained
(crew person performing field tasks) by your internal Technical Trainer

What is expected

By committing to the work plan you are committing to assign resources within
your organization to complete tasks outlined in the work plan. These estimates
are our best guess at the effort required by you and your staff using FAStrack
Mobile. In general the commitment is:

1) Provide a technical resource to install and configure hardware and
software in Week 1 and be responsible for technical support.
2) Perform all work orders daily using the FAStrack Mobile software and
provide data analyst to review transactions.
3) Attend the training seminars with a minimum of the Technical Trainer to
have an internal resource that can train crew members within your
organization.

Section 4:
Software Configuration
Configuration Overview

1. Launch myFAStrack to setup sub-users for all myFAStrack users and FAStrack
Mobile users
a. Login using FAS User-ID/Password (Administrator/Super-User)
b. Select “More->User” menu in myFAStrack
2. Determine how you want to manage sub-users for Smartphones
a. Setup individual sub-user for each Smartphone (Recommended)
b. Setup one sub-user for all Smartphones associated with your Vendor-ID
c. We do not recommend using FAStrack Website User-ID and Password
(Administrator/Super-User) for FAStrack Mobile access.
3. Choose Security Role for each sub-user
a. Setup Admin Role for sub-users you wish to grant access to all features
b. Setup Role of Staff if user can invoice, but not see invoice history
c. Setup Role of Crew if user can only enter Notes in myFAStrack and/or
use FAStrack Mobile only
4. Install FAStrack Mobile on Smartphones
a. Use Market Application on each phone and search for “FAStrack Mobile”
or
b. Use http://market.android.com to manage all phones online (no need to
have access to phone directly)

a. Login using sub-user defined above
b. Allow work orders to load
c. Select a work order
d. Navigate to Property by pressing Navigate
e. Press Start Work to take photos
f. See work as it occurs in myFAStrack

Tips for Large Vendors with multiple Vendor-ID’s
• If you have more than one (1) Vendor-ID, FAStrack treats this like a completely
different company and has completely separate list of work orders per Vendor-ID.
o You will need to setup unique Sub-users for each Vendor-ID you manage
o You cannot have one Sub-User for multiple Vendor-ID’s
o FAStrack Mobile allows bar code scanning to switch login between
multiple Sub-users if a single user needs to access both Vendor accounts



Setting up Sub-Users in myFAStrack

Defining and Managing Sub-Users in myFAStrack

 Use only one FAS User-ID to setup associated sub-user
 You must choose a unique sub-user (email recommended)
 Only applies to vendors with multiple states/zones
o Setup a unique sub-user for each Vendor-ID

Below is a view of the access control you can provide to sub-users in myFAStrack.
 The role of “Admin” allows full capabilities in myFAStrack
 The role of “Staff” is available will allow access to marking orders complete and
generating invoices, but would not allow viewing of invoice history report.
 The role of “Crew” is available to limit what can be done in myFAStrack

Restricting Access and Password Changes
1. Administrators can change individual sub-users password to block or grant
access to individual sub-users in myFAStrack if desired
2. Changing FAStrack User-ID password will block all related sub-user access until
valid FAStrack User-ID logs into myFAStrack with proper password
3. Make sure when your FAStrack User-ID/password changes, the valid FAStrack
User-ID logs into myFAStrack to reset master password for all related sub-users



FAStrack Mobile Software Installation

Install FAStrack Mobile software on approved Smartphone
1. If you have access to Smartphone launch Android Market on each Smartphone,
search for FAStrack Mobile and follow the installation instructions.

2. Or if phones are remote, install software and manage all Smartphones using

3. Launch FAStrack Mobile on Smartphone device
4. Login using Sub-User-Name and Password provided by the Technical Trainer for
each device
