Working without a signal
What the app can do offline, what it queues, and how the catch-up appears to dispatch.

Parking structures, rural routes and hospital basements are normal parts of the job, so the app assumes connectivity will be lost rather than treating it as an error state.
What still works
- Your trip list and trip details, which are held on the device.
- Marking arrival, loading, and completing a trip.
- Capturing signatures, photos and odometer readings.
- Recording a no-show.
What waits
- Anything that needs the server right now: new assignments, messages, and live position updates to dispatch.
- Turn-by-turn guidance for a route not already loaded.
Actions taken offline are queued in order and submitted when the connection returns. Dispatch sees them arrive as a catch-up with their original timestamps, not as though everything happened at the moment you came back into coverage.
