Know which physical sample went with which commessa.
A sample shown at a customer meeting needs a traceable identity when it leaves the workshop.
The object matters more than the photograph.
Consider an illustrative Italy-connected maker preparing a bespoke interior finish. Two physical samples look similar in photographs, but represent different finishes. A colleague takes one to a customer meeting. The useful mobile task is to identify the actual sample, connect it to the right commessa and record its handover, rather than create another unlabelled image in a message thread.
Your team defines the identifiers and terms it uses. The record might show the sample label, the relevant job and revision, who is carrying it, and whether it is expected back. A photograph can help locate an object; lighting and a phone screen do not establish its colour, texture or technical suitability.
Separate showing a sample from approving a finish.
At the meeting, staff can open the relevant job and select the labelled sample. Recording that it was shown or left with somebody should not automatically mark a finish approved. Your business decides who may confirm the customer's selection, what information supports that decision and how it is associated with the agreed work.
If the sample is replaced, the earlier handover should remain understandable. If the job changes, staff need to see whether the sample relates to the previous specification. We can design the customer-review step as a separate, agreed action rather than infer consent from a photograph or a delivery note.
Try the round trip with two similar samples.
A useful first version follows selection, handover and return for one sample family. In a fictional walkthrough, choose the wrong job, substitute the second sample and return an object whose label is damaged. Check whether the team can resolve each case without rewriting the history or applying one customer's decision to another job.
We assess a mobile web tool against an installed app using the actual devices, label-reading needs and working conditions. Agree photo permissions, permitted personal information and account ownership before real use. Describe how your samples leave and return, and how a confirmed selection reaches the person preparing the work.
