Google launches Google Maps Coordinate
Google Maps Coordinate is a workforce management tool that improves the efficiency of your mobile teams.
How it Works
People are shown on a Google Map, making it easy to assign jobs to the nearest available team member. By getting real-time visibility into where teams are and what jobs they are doing, work can be scheduled in a smarter, more efficient way.
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. Administrators can dispatch jobs with the confidence that an individual’s location is correct. You are able to upload your own floor plans, and locate workers and jobs indoors based on wifi information.
Google maps co-ordinates allows mobile teams to communicate better
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.
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. Administrators can see all details regarding a specific job. Over time, this builds a rich database of job details, which you can reference for continual improvement.
