Mobile app for technicians

The new GuideLab mobile app lets technicians view assignments, update case status, and capture photos right from the production floor.

Your team isn’t always at a desk. Today we’re releasing the GuideLab mobile app—purpose-built for technicians working on the production floor.

Mobile app features:

  • My Assignments: See cases assigned to you with due dates and priorities
  • Status Updates: Tap to advance cases through production stages
  • Photo Capture: Take case photos directly in the app, attached to records
  • Case Details: View prescriptions, specifications, and notes on any device
  • Notifications: Get alerts for new assignments and urgent cases

Designed for the lab floor:

  • Large touch targets work with gloves
  • Quick actions minimize screen time
  • Offline mode for areas with poor connectivity
  • Barcode scanning for instant case lookup

For lab managers:

  • Real-time visibility into production progress
  • Technicians update status as they work, not at end of day
  • Better data for workflow optimization
  • Reduced paperwork and manual tracking

Platform availability:

  • iOS (iPhone and iPad)
  • Android (phones and tablets)
  • Works alongside the desktop experience

Getting started:

Download GuideLab from the App Store or Google Play. Sign in with your existing GuideLab credentials and you’re ready to go. Technician accounts get automatic access.

The mobile app is included free for all GuideLab subscribers.
