Last updated: May 12, 2025
This document outlines the hardware, software, and network requirements for using Sera’s platform. Meeting these requirements ensures optimal performance, security, and compatibility.
Sera Mobile App (Technician App)
Sera’s mobile application is designed for field technicians to manage jobs, capture service details, and communicate with customers in the field.

Sera Admin Portal (Web-Based Application)
The Sera Admin Portal is accessed via modern web browsers and provides tools for scheduling, dispatching, reporting, and customer management.

Unsupported Environments
Use of the following environments may result in degraded performance or unsupported behavior:
- Internet Explorer (all versions)
- Browsers more than one major version behind
- Operating systems no longer receiving security updates
- Virtual mobile environments or browser-based mobile emulators
Best Practices
To ensure a consistent experience across your team:
- Keep devices and operating systems up to date
- Use business-grade internet connections
- Enable device-level security (e.g., passcodes)
- Periodically clear browser cache if performance issues arise
Future Platform Support
Sera may expand platform support in future versions. Contact your account manager or support for roadmap updates.
If Sera makes significant updates to these system requirements — such as deprecation of a supported platform or major compatibility changes — we will make reasonable efforts to notify affected accounts in advance.
Note: Devices or environments that do not meet the above specifications may still function, but Sera cannot guarantee full functionality or provide technical support for unsupported configurations.
