Track Field Service Technicians with Geolocation | Dynamics 365

This functionality aids in auditing and tracking the locations of Field Service activities, providing greater visibility into the service provided.
To take advantage of this feature, it is important to properly configure the Geolocation Settings and ensure that technician privacy is respected. By using geolocation data, Field Service teams can optimize resource allocation and provide better service, ultimately benefiting both the organization and the customers they serve.
