The field app is Kondito on the phone: the day's handovers and returns, quick rentals and, above all, guided photo inspections. It opens at /field and works in the phone's browser; installed on the home screen it behaves like an app.
Installing it on the phone
- Open Kondito in the phone's browser and sign in. Field agents land in the field app straight away; owners and operators open it from the Field app menu item or the button shown at the top on a phone.
- Add it to the home screen. The field app's first page shows the steps for your phone:
- iPhone: in Safari, tap Share (the square with an up arrow, at the bottom) → Add to Home Screen → Add.
- Android: in Chrome, tap Install the app on the card in the app, or the ⋮ menu → Install app (or Add to Home screen).
- Open it from the new icon. It starts on the field home page, full screen.
The camera needs a secure connection (https) and permission to use the camera in the browser settings. The location is used if you allow it; without it, photos are still accepted and marked as having no GPS.
The home page
- To hand over today and Due back today, including overdue ones.
- Inspections in progress, to continue one you started.
- Search by rental number, plate or customer name (spaces in plates do not matter).
- Quick rental: an available product, an existing customer or a new one (name and phone), the number of days, confirm. The rental starts now; the handover follows on the rental page.
Handover and return with photos
On the rental, tap Start handover with photos (or Start return with photos).
- The camera shows the outline of the vehicle or machine and the angle required: front, front-left, left, back, right and the dashboard, depending on the product's photo template.
- Every angle is required. If one really cannot be taken (against a wall, machine on a trailer), tap Not possible and write why.
- At the return, the handover photo of the same angle appears faded over the camera, so both photos match.
- Inspection photos come only from the camera, never from the gallery, and are stamped with the server time, the phone time, the user, the location (if allowed) and a digital fingerprint (SHA-256). A retaken photo keeps the earlier one as replaced.
- Extra photos: as many as needed (scratches, accessories), each with an optional note.
- Enter the meter reading. If automatic reading is enabled, Read meter from photo suggests the value from the dashboard photo; always check it.
- Tick I found new damage if needed and add remarks.
- Complete handover hands the product over; Complete return records the return and closes the rental with the final price.
A return without new damage becomes the product's main gallery. From a product's page you can also Take a new gallery at any time.
Weak or no signal
Each photo is first saved on the phone and then sent. If the signal drops, photos wait in a queue on the phone and are sent again automatically until the server confirms them; closing the page does not lose them. If your session has expired, sign in again and the waiting photos are sent afterwards. Pages themselves need a connection: without signal you see a short offline page.
Uploading the contract
On the rental page in the field app, add photos of the signed contract (camera or gallery) or PDFs, and the contract number, then Save contract. Field agents can do this on reservations and on rentals in progress. If the contract is required, the rental becomes active as soon as it is uploaded.
From the desktop to the phone
On a rental in the desktop app, Inspect on phone shows a QR code. Scan it with a phone that is signed in to open the inspection directly.
Notifications
Under Notifications on this phone, tap Turn on to get a push notification 30 minutes before a handover (the whole team) and when a return is overdue (owners and operators). On iPhone, notifications work only after the app has been added to the home screen (iOS 16.4 or later).
