FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about iFactory's Request Maintenance capabilities.

Each asset or equipment gets a unique QR code that you print and place on it. When anyone scans the QR code with their phone camera, iFactory automatically opens a request form pre-filled with the asset name, location, and type. The requester simply adds a description, selects priority, attaches a photo, and submits. No app install or login is required for requesters.

No. QR code requests and web portal requests require no app installation or account creation. Anyone – operators, tenants, visitors, or staff – can submit a request by scanning a QR code or using a browser link. The kiosk mode also allows shared tablet-based submissions in common areas. Only supervisors and technicians need accounts to manage and respond to requests.

iFactory’s AI considers multiple factors when routing requests: the issue category and required skill set, technician availability and current workload, physical proximity to the asset, shift schedule, and priority level. Emergency requests are routed to the nearest qualified available technician instantly. You can also configure manual assignment rules or override AI routing at any time.

iFactory sends notifications via mobile push notifications, email, and SMS. You can configure which channels each user receives, and set escalation rules that increase notification urgency over time. For example, a High priority request might start with a push notification, escalate to email after 15 minutes, and trigger SMS to the supervisor after 30 minutes with no response.

You define SLA targets per priority level – for example, Emergency: 30 min response / 2 hr resolution, High: 2 hr response / 8 hr resolution. iFactory automatically tracks time from submission, alerting when SLAs approach breach. Breached SLAs are escalated to managers and highlighted on dashboards. Historical SLA compliance is tracked for performance reporting.

Yes. When a supervisor approves a request, it automatically converts into a structured work order with all the request details, assigned technician, priority, and any additional instructions. For low-risk request types, you can configure auto-approval rules that skip manual review and create work orders instantly upon submission.

Yes. Requesters receive automatic status updates at every stage: Submitted, Approved, Technician Assigned, In Progress, and Completed. They can also check status via the original QR code link or web portal at any time. After completion, requesters can rate the service and leave feedback to help improve maintenance quality.

You can start receiving QR code requests within hours. Print QR codes for your assets, configure notification rules, and you’re live. Full setup with approval workflows, SLA timers, smart routing, kiosk mode, and analytics dashboards completes in 1–2 weeks. No requester training is needed – the QR scan interface is designed for zero-training instant use.
