FFASTUser guide

One job, from a stranger's question to money in the bank

FAST holds that whole journey in one place. No notebooks, no loose spreadsheets, and nobody having to remember what happens next month.

Every step below links to the live demo at fast.stg.opencentric.uk, which runs the same data you see in the screenshots.

Public pages open straight away. Anything marked sign-in — the back office under /manage and the field app under /app — asks you to sign in first.

Those eight boxes are very nearly the whole system. Know which box you are in and you can find what you need to do.

Three ways customers reach you

One add-on, for a franchise partner or a SaaS customer

This one is not a journey of its own. It is a piece you bolt on to either of the two businesses above once they are running, so it sits here at the end rather than among the guides.
