Work Management

Set the standard, never chase it

You've got standards, but making sure they're followed every shift is exhausting. We've built checklists for hundreds of teams, we know how quickly things slip. Build work templates with step-by-step instructions and let AI track completion and flag what's been missed, so your team knows exactly what to do and you get proof it's done.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to use the Work features?
No. Work management is completely optional. If you only need shift scheduling, communication, or the knowledge hub, skip it. Use what you need, leave what you don't.
What types of work elements can I use?
Checklists, text inputs, number inputs, photo uploads, yes/no choices, multiple choice, ratings, signatures, date pickers, and more. You can combine them in any order within a single work template.
Can I require photo evidence for specific tasks?
Yes. Add a photo element to any step in a work template. Staff take photos directly from the app and they're timestamped and saved to your audit trail.
Can I schedule work to repeat automatically?
Yes. Set a work template to repeat daily, weekly, or on any custom schedule. It appears on your team's task list automatically at the time you've set.
Can I carry out work on an ad hoc basis?
Yes. As well as repeating work schedules, you can create a workform, which is a single one-off piece of work. Useful for anything that doesn't need to repeat, like incident reports, one-off inspections, or ad hoc tasks.
Can staff report issues while completing work?
Yes. Staff can flag an issue on any work element. The issue is logged with the context of which work item it came from, and Poppi can notify the people who need to know.
Can I see who completed what and when?
Yes. Every submission is timestamped and attributed to the person who completed it. You get a full activity audit trail showing what was done, when, and by whom.
Can I attach instructions to each task?
Yes. Every work element can include a description with step-by-step instructions. Staff see the instructions on their phone as they work through each step.
What are public forms?
Any work template can be turned into a public form with a shareable link. Anyone can fill it in without a Pilla account. Useful for job applications, customer feedback, incident reports, and supplier forms.
What happens when work is overdue?
Poppi can send alerts at intervals you choose, for example 15, 30, or 60 minutes after the deadline. You pick who receives the alert: the team, the managers, or specific people.
Can I require a signature at the end of a work item?
Yes. Add a signature element to any step. Staff sign on their phone screen and the signature is saved to the audit trail.
Can I use it for audits and inspections?
Yes. Many teams use work templates for health and safety audits, food safety inspections, fire safety checks, and regulatory compliance. Every submission is timestamped with photo evidence and a full audit trail.
Can I export completed work?
Yes. You can export work by tag or work by team as a CSV file.
