Two silent failure points, one shared queue: the callback nobody logged, and the job marked "done" with a step missed
Field-service and installation businesses tend to lose customers in two specific, avoidable ways. First: a customer calls about a problem, a crew member says someone will follow up, and that promise lives only in one person's memory, so when the office later says "we have no record of your call," the customer's own experience of calling five times becomes an unresolvable dispute. Second: a job gets marked complete by whoever wraps it up, without every scope item on it being confirmed done, so a skipped step surfaces only when the customer notices it themselves, sometimes months later. This page shows one small, working tool that closes both gaps: a shared callback log that timestamps every request against a committed follow-up date, and a job completion checklist that will not call a job "complete" until every scope item on it is checked off, with a no-login customer lookup for both.
Everything below is fictional. When this gets built for a real business, the callback log reads from however calls already come in (a phone system, a shared inbox, a paper intake sheet), and the completion checklist's scope items are whatever that business's own job type actually requires, not a generic list.
Callback & follow-up log
Every inbound request for a callback gets a timestamp and a committed follow-up date the moment it's logged, so "we called and never heard back" has a shared record instead of one person's recollection.
Log a new callback request
Open queue, most overdue first
Job completion checklist
Each job carries its own list of scope items. The job only shows "Complete" once every item is checked, so an unchecked item (a missed step, a piece left off) stays visible instead of the job getting marked done anyway.
Log a new job

Try CB-1001, CB-1002, CB-1003, CB-1004, JC-2001, JC-2002, JC-2003 or JC-2004 from the office view's sample data.
How this gets built for real
The reference code is whatever the business already hands out. A real build reads from an existing work order, claim, or job number instead of inventing a new one for the customer to remember.
Scope items are set per job type, not typed fresh each time. A real build starts each job from that job type's standard checklist (a siding install, a roof, a window swap), so staff check items off instead of re-authoring the list.
Overdue math here is a simple timer. A real build can page or text the person responsible once a callback crosses overdue, instead of relying on someone opening this page.
