Cloud file storage

Every job file, every photo, every cert – safe in the cloud and one tap away.

Checker gives every job and every customer their own cloud folder. Photos, PDFs, gas certs, signed job sheets, quotes, boiler serial shots – all pinned to the right record, backed up automatically, and pulled up in seconds from the van, the office or the sofa.

You know the drill. The customer rings up three years after the install. “Have you still got that gas cert?” Cue twenty minutes rooting through camera roll, then WhatsApp, then a shoebox of paper receipts in the van.

Cloud file storage in Checker pins every file to the customer record and the job it came off. Search the address, tap the job, there it is – photo, PDF, signed sheet. No hunting, no lost paperwork, no “I’ll email it later”.

How it works

Snap it, upload it, forget it.

1

Snap on the job

Photos of the boiler, the flue termination, the meter, the leak – straight into Checker from the camera. No fiddling with folders.

2

Auto-pinned to the job

Every file lands on the right job and the right customer record. Certs, quotes and signed job sheets file themselves.

3

Pulled up in seconds

Search the address or postcode, tap the job. Full history – photos, PDFs, notes – years down the line.

What lives in there

If it’s tied to a job, it belongs on the record.

Photos, PDFs, signed forms, quotes, invoices, warranty certs, parts receipts, MI diagrams, before-and-afters. All indexed against the customer and the job, all backed up.

Why engineers turn it on

Your paperwork stops living on your phone.

Camera roll fills up. Phones get dropped. WhatsApp deletes photos after 30 days on some settings. Cloud storage in Checker is the difference between “let me dig it out” and “sending it now”.

Off your phone, in the cloud

Frees up gigs on the handset and stops one dropped phone wiping out three years of job photos.

Pinned to the customer

Every file lives on the job and the address, not in a random folder called “IMG_2024_folder2”.

The whole team sees it

Send a sub user to a callback and they open the exact photos and cert from last time.

Audit-ready

Gas Safe inspection, insurance claim, landlord dispute – the whole file history is right there with a timestamp.

Send from the app

Email a customer their cert or the boiler photo straight from the record. No downloading, no forwarding.

Works offline

Snap in a signal-black cellar. Files queue on the phone and upload the moment you get a bar back.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much storage do I get?

Standard use is included in every Checker plan – photos, PDFs, signed forms, the lot. We don’t meter gigabytes for normal trade use. If you’re running a large multi-engineer firm with tens of thousands of jobs a year, we’ll have a chat.

Where are my files actually stored?

On UK/EU cloud infrastructure with automatic replication across data centres. Encrypted at rest and in transit. Your customer data doesn’t leave UK/EU jurisdiction.

What happens if I lose or smash my phone?

Nothing on the Checker side. Every file uploads to the cloud the moment you have signal. New phone, log in, everything’s there. Your job history isn’t tied to the handset.

Can my sub users see the files too?

Yes, and you control who sees what. Admins see the whole business. Engineers see the jobs assigned to them. See staff management for how the permissions work.

Can I upload from a laptop, or is it phone-only?

Both. Drag-and-drop from the desktop web app in the office. Snap from the phone on the job. Same files, same records.

Does it work with no signal?

Yes. Take the photo, complete the form, sign the sheet – it all stores on the phone and syncs up the moment you get signal back. Cellars and plant rooms are no problem.

Can customers see their own files?

You choose. Email them the cert or the invoice from inside the record with two taps. Everything else stays private to your firm.

If I cancel Checker, can I get my files back?

Yes. Export your customer records, jobs and files at any time. Your data is your data – it’s not held hostage.
