Track Field Service Technicians with Geolocation | Dynamics 365
In Dynamics 365 Field Service, it is possible to track the travel locations of Field Service technicians and their current location. By enabling location sharing from the app and configuring the Geolocation Settings, the technician's location can be viewed on the schedule board and listed. 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.
