Using a phone
Most technicians use WSManager on their own phone. Clock on, your jobs, adding parts and leave are designed for a small screen.
When to use
- You are setting up your phone for the first time.
- You want to clock on in one tap.
Overview
WSManager is a website, so there is no app to install. Open your workshop’s address in your phone’s browser, sign in once, and stay signed in.
Key features
- Stay signed in. Tick Keep me signed in on this device when you sign in. You stay signed in for 60 days of use.
- One-tap clock on. Open WSManager and you land on Clock. Select Clock on.
- Phone-first pages: Clock, switch job, clock off, My time, My jobs, a job on a phone, add or request a part, My leave and apply for leave.
- Big buttons. The phone pages use large touch targets and no wide tables.
- Map links. Field jobs show a Map link to the site address, and phone numbers are tap-to-call.
- Notifications. The bell shows your unread count.
- QR codes. Scan the QR code on a printed job card to open the job.
Supported browsers are current Chrome, Edge and Safari, and Chrome on Android.
How to: put WSManager on your home screen
- Open your workshop’s WSManager address in your phone’s browser and sign in.
- Use your browser’s Add to Home Screen option.

Tips & gotchas
- WSManager has no offline mode. You need signal to clock on.
- Times are taken from the server’s clock in New Zealand time, not your phone’s clock.
- Office screens such as timesheet approval and the booking diary are designed for a desktop and may be awkward on a phone.
