Description:
I need an AppSheet app on top of my Google Sheet to manage site jobs on a map and allow engineers to tap a pin, edit fields (e.g., mark “Job Completed”), and have those updates write back immediately to the Google Sheet (with who/when logged). Additionally, I need stock/inventory management tied to engineers (issue/return parts, current holdings, low-stock alerts, serial capture). Must-haves Two-way workflow: From mobile map view, engineer taps a location → edits status/fields → updates persist back to the Google Sheet (audit: user + timestamp). Inventory module: Parts catalogue (SKU, description, phase compatibility if relevant). Per-engineer stock ledger (issue, use on job, return) with current balances. Link parts used to a job (qty + optional serials/barcodes). Low-stock threshold per part (+ optional email/notification). Security: Sign-in required. Engineers only see their assigned jobs (server-side Security Filter), admins see all. Offline friendly with automatic sync when online. Basic dashboards: My Jobs (map + table), Open Jobs, Completed; simple filters (Status/Platform/DeviceType). Handover: short loom/video + doc covering how to add users, edit enums, add columns, maintain stock items. Data scope (starting point) Current single sheet of jobs (addresses, contacts, device type, notes, invoicing flags). Add operational fields: RowID (UNIQUEID), JobStatus enum, CompletedAt/By, LastUpdated (ChangeTimeStamp), UpdateCount (ChangeCounter), AssignedTo (email), optional LatLong. New inventory sheets: Parts (SKU, Name, Unit, Active, LowStockThreshold). EngineerStock (EngineerEmail, SKU, QtyOnHand). StockLedger (Timestamp, EngineerEmail, SKU, Qty, Type=Issue|Use|Return, JobRowID optional, Notes, Serial optional). Normalise Yes/No fields, phone/email types, and enums (Platform: Passiv/Stingray; DeviceType: METER/MODEM/METER3). Key app features Map view (address or LatLong), pin tap opens Detail. One-tap actions: “Mark Completed” → sets status + CompletedAt/By. “Add Parts Used” → form to post ledger entries and reduce EngineerStock. Automations: Safety-net to stamp CompletedAt/By if status = Completed. Low-stock notifier when EngineerStock falls below threshold. Performance strategy: Precompute LatLong or use FullAddress; slices + security filters tuned for ~1,000+ rows. Acceptance tests From mobile map: change Status to Completed → Sheet shows status + CompletedAt + CompletedBy within seconds. Stock: Issue 3 × SKU123 to Engineer A → EngineerStock shows +3. Record use of 1 on Job #X → EngineerStock decrements, Job shows parts used. Security: non-admin only sees “My Jobs”. Offline: update status/parts offline → syncs correctly when back online. Deliverables Working AppSheet app linked to my Google Sheet. Cleaned schema (with added inventory tables). Security filters, slices, actions, automations. Short handover video + quick reference doc. 2 weeks light support for small fixes. Nice-to-haves (quote separately) Auto-assign engineer by postcode area. Barcode/QR scan for serials. Invoicing/partner compliance dashboard. Photo capture on completion (stored to Drive). Constraints Must stay in Google ecosystem (Google Sheets + AppSheet). No custom servers. I will provide Google Sheet (current data). Google account access to Sheet + AppSheet. Test engineer emails. Budget type / Currency / Budget Fixed Price / £ GBP / £363 (Stretch items under Nice-to-haves can be separate add-ons.) Advanced options (suggested text) Location: Prefer UK/EU timezone, open to others with strong AppSheet portfolio. Visibility: Public. Duration: Target delivery 7–10 calendar days from kickoff. Experience required: Proven AppSheet apps with map views, actions, security filters, and basic inventory/ledger patterns. Interview questions (paste these) Share an AppSheet project you built with a map view and write-back actions. What were the tricky parts? How will you guarantee CompletedAt/CompletedBy are always stamped (including offline and repeated edits)? Outline your Security Filter approach so engineers only see their rows (why filters vs slices). Propose the inventory data model you’ll implement (Parts, EngineerStock, StockLedger) and how you’ll keep QtyOnHand consistent. How will you keep the app fast with ~1,000+ locations (geocoding strategy, LatLong, slices)? Given messy Yes/No/phone/email values, how will you normalize quickly without losing data? Would you keep a single Jobs table or split Sites/Jobs? Defend your choice for this case. What handover (video/doc) do you provide so we can add parts, users, and columns later?
