Beta Gearbelt Mobile Web is currently in Beta. Features and design may change before general release. We'd love your feedback, share it through your CSM.
Gearbelt Mobile Web (GBMW) is a mobile browser experience that gives mechanics direct access to their work — no app install required. It replaces the Gearbelt Mechanic Web App with a faster, work-first workflow built around what mechanics actually do on the job.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
Plan: All Plan Types
Permission: Gearbelt Contributor
Skills Required: Gearbelt Navigation
Device Type: Mobile browser
Subscription: Gearbelt
Who Gearbelt Mobile Web is for
Gearbelt Mobile Web is built for Gearbelt contributors — anyone who is a Member or Admin in the workspace — who carry out work on assets in the field or workshop.
Mechanics access GBMW on their mobile device through a web browser. No app download is needed.
Admins continue to use the Gearbelt web app on desktop to set up assets, schedules, forms, and assign work. Gearbelt Mobile Web complements the desktop experience — it does not replace it.
What's new compared to the Gearbelt Mechanic Web App
The Gearbelt Mechanic Web App was built around scanning a QR code on an asset, then deciding what to do. Gearbelt Mobile Web flips the model — mechanics start with the work they need to do, not the asset they're standing in front of.
Key changes:
Work-first navigation. Mechanics land on the Work Orders tab and see exactly what's assigned to them, sorted and filterable.
Mechanics can raise work themselves. Issues, repair records, and work orders can all be created in the app — no need to wait for an admin.
Asset context where it's needed. Assets, issues, schedule checks, and work orders are all linked, so mechanics can see the full picture without leaving the workflow.
Cleaner experience. Designed for mobile from the start, with the four tabs mechanics use most: Assets, Work Orders, Issues, and Schedule Checks.
What mechanics can do in Gearbelt Mobile Web
In the current Beta version, mechanics can:
View, search, sort, and filter work orders
Create and resolve issues on assets
Create repair records linked to issues
View and complete schedule checks by submitting the schedule form
Browse assets in the workspace
Create work orders directly from the app
For a step-by-step walkthrough of each, see the Gearbelt Mobile Web collection in this help centre.
What's not in Gearbelt Mobile Web (yet)
Offline mode. GBMW requires an internet connection to load and submit work. Offline support is not available at the moment.
Native mobile app. GBMW runs in a mobile browser. A native Gearbelt Mobile (GBM) app for iOS and Android is on the roadmap.
Beta notes
During Beta, expect some rough edges. We are actively iterating based on customer feedback and bug reports. Your CSM is your direct line for raising anything that's not working as expected.
The Gearbelt Mechanic Web App remains available during Beta and for a period afterwards, to give you time to transition. We'll announce the Gearbelt Mechanic Web App deprecation date well in advance.
