Mobile Tech
Mobile Tech is the time tracking tool used by all FDC field employees. Here are step by step instructions on how to set up and use the software.
Set Up
Mobile Tech is best experienced in Google Chrome. Please have Chrome installed on your phone. If this is the first time Mobile Tech is being used on the phone skip to step 2.

Recording Time
Mobile Tech substitutes for a time card. That means it is up to the technician to accurately record all time they expect to be paid for through the app. If you experience technical issues with the app while trying to update, you may call in to the service department for assistance.
