Answer
Yes, but “offline” has to be described precisely in business terms. It can mean that information already loaded can only be viewed. It can also mean that new cases, photos, times or signatures are recorded locally and transferred later. In the second case, local storage, encryption, storage limits, version conflicts and a visible transfer status have to be planned.
It is particularly important that the app does not pretend a case is complete when head office has not yet received it. Users need a clear display of pending, failed and confirmed transfers. In a conflict, the last write must not silently win if business decisions are lost as a result. Offline capability is therefore not a single switch but a distinct part of the data model, user interface and testing. It pays off above all where poor network coverage is part of the normal working environment.
