You can further enhance the system's usability with dedicated server features.

In SmartST, we provide basic functionalities necessary for building surveys. However, by using a separate server, you can access server-exclusive features such as.

・Enabling data sharing among multiple devices.
・You can create/register marker displays and categorize repairs when registering deterioration information.
・You can access data from anywhere and check progress status, regardless of location.
・You can download various reports with just one click from the server.

Frequently Asked Questions

+
SmartST requires no complex operations and can be used intuitively, much like using a smartphone. Most users become proficient after the initial training session. However, if you find it difficult, we offer free phone support. Please feel free to contact us.
+
Yes, it is possible. However, when working offline, the data will not be synchronized with the cloud, meaning progress cannot be tracked from another device. Additionally, for security reasons, data is not stored on the device. Therefore, to generate the final report, you will need to save the data to the cloud. Data can be saved to the cloud once you are connected to the internet via Wi-Fi or another connection.
