Map

The day's jobs on a map, one pin per site. Plan which van goes where, and see which waiting jobs lie near today's trips.

herbe service dispatch board, one day by technician

A map for planning a route

It is the dispatch board, asked where.

One day, one pin per site

Four jobs at one address are one pin with a number, not four squares on top of each other. Click a pin to open the job.

It says what is missing

A line under the map counts the day's jobs that are not on it, and why: still being located, could not be located, or no site on the order.

Waiting work beside today

Switch on Show queue and unplanned or unfinished jobs appear as outlined squares, so you can see what lies near today's trip.

A pin is a site, not a guess

Each pin comes from the coordinates stored on the customer's site. The map itself does no address lookup.

  • Located for you

    Sites are located in the background, and a technician can correct a bad pin from the field.

  • Near today's trips

    A tab on the unassigned list shows the jobs within 50 km, in a straight line, of a site a technician is visiting today.

  • Your choice, per company

    Map and GPS is a switch. With it off, nothing is sent to OpenStreetMap for your company, and stored positions are kept.

How to start

  1. Open the office demo

    Switch the dispatch board to Map.

  2. Switch on Map and GPS

    It needs sites (Objects) switched on, and your account's consent to address lookup.

  3. Check the pins

    Fix any site that could not be located by setting its coordinates.

Questions about the map

Why one day only?

A map is read to plan a route. A week of pins puts every job on top of every other, and Monday cannot be told from Friday.

Why is a job missing from the map?

The line under the map says which: its site is still being located, the site could not be located, or the order names no site.

Does it need an ERP?

No. It behaves the same on a company without one.

Where do the map pictures come from?

From OpenStreetMap. If you switch Map and GPS off, nothing is sent there for your company.

Does the map show where technicians are?

No. It shows jobs, by site. It does not track people.
