    What is a service task?

    When renting out a product to your customer, several tasks might be necessary to perform: such as configuration and packaging before shipment, creating a photo-documentation of the goods shipped. As you are outsourcing those steps to virtualfab, the tasks need to be specified before execution.

    How do I specify a service task?

    Most customers provide an instruction or service manual in order to specify how operations should be done. However, in order to facilitate the creation of such a manual, virtualfab provides an app which makes creation of an instruction a breeze. Using our app, you can create multiple steps, add pictures of the before/after, specify the tools to use and get feedback from the service technician.
