Using Offline Mode

How the app keeps working with no signal, what gets queued, and how it syncs when you reconnect.

Built for cellars and walk-ins

Signal is often poor exactly where checks happen, so the app is offline-first. You can keep working with no connection, and the app holds everything in a sync queue until it can upload.

What works offline

These are saved on your device and synced automatically when you are back online:

  • Completed tasks and routines, including photos

  • Reports and checks (deliveries, temperatures, incidents, and so on)

  • Check-in and check-out

  • Training progress and assessment results

The offline banner

A banner at the top shows when you are offline and how many items are waiting to sync. When you reconnect it switches to "Syncing" and clears as the queue uploads. There is a retry option if anything needs a nudge.

When you reconnect

The app syncs automatically as soon as the connection returns, and again whenever you reopen it. Items upload in the order you created them. In the rare case of a clash, the server decides the final result, so nothing is lost.

Good habits

  • Open the app while you have signal at the start of a shift so it loads the latest tasks

  • Get back on Wi-Fi or data before the end of the shift so everything uploads

  • Do not log out while items are still waiting to sync

Something not showing up for a manager? It may not have synced yet. Reconnect, reopen the app, and give it a moment. If it still does not appear after the banner clears, contact support.
