Hi everyone,We’re using MaintainX with technicians who are fully remote or distributed across multiple sites. I’m curious how others handle onboarding, work order consistency, and performance visibility when your maintenance team isn’t onsite full-time.Any best practices for structuring roles, permissions, or workflows to keep remote technicians productive and accountable would be really helpful.
