Google Maps Coordinate key features
Real-Time Visibility
All team members can be seen on a Google Map. By assigning jobs to the nearest worker, more tasks can be completed in a shorter amount of time and workers are color-coded so its obvious who is available. Administrators can dispatch jobs with the confidence that an individual's location is correct, even if they are indoors since Google Maps Coordinate integrates Google Indoor Maps.
Job Management
Workers can see a list of their jobs, and check in to show that they have started. This reduces miscommunication between the worker and dispatcher. Workers are able to minimize down time between tasks and complete a higher number of jobs per day.
Data Capture
Using their mobile device, workers can view detailed information about the job, as well as add their own notes which are immediately stored in the cloud. This eliminates paper-based workflows, duplication of work and saves teams from losing information.
Custom Locations
A custom location enables you to name locations on a map such as customer sites, the location of facilities, or areas to avoid. It enables the dispatcher to pinpoint the exact location of the job and saves time when the location is used again since the name is saved and autocompletes.
Job and Location History
The location history of each worker can be shown, which helps to make more informed decisions about how teams operate and improve the efficiency of the mobile workforce. Do more workers need to be hired? Is there a better location for the team?
