The Service Day

Closest Tech, Accurate ETA, Time on Site

The whole day, visible: who is where, who is free next, and how long every job took.

  • Closest-tech dispatch: route the nearest qualified tech to every new job
  • Time-on-site records: arrival, duration, and departure, logged automatically
  • Tighter routing: less windshield time, more wrench time
  • Driver app workflows: job status and messaging without phone tag

Job-Site Zones, Time on Site, and Proof-of-Service Reports

More jobs finished and fewer disputes start with dispatch working from facts, not guesses. Here is how we set up the platform for a service fleet.

  1. 01A device in every van

    Live position, fault codes, and time on site, read from the vehicle itself (GO9 or Next-Gen GO).

  2. 02Geofenced job sites

    A zone around each recurring site; arrivals and departures record themselves.

  3. 03Live time on site

    On-site minutes surface same-day, so dispatch can rebalance the afternoon.

  4. 04Proof-of-service reports

    Scheduled exports ready for the contract audit, built before you need them.

  5. 05Uptime alerts

    Faults ranked by breakdown risk flag the van most likely to strand a tech, before it does.

  6. 06Tags on the costly tools

    Bluetooth tags read by the tracker already in the van, no per-tag contract.

Configuration

Dispatch Working From Facts by the First Week

Zones, alert rules, and report schedules ship preconfigured, so from the first week the board already shows yesterday's stops, minutes on site, and any van due for a bay.

The Day, Documented

Stop Duration, Recorded From the Ignition

No timesheet, no radio check-in. Arrival and departure are read from the vehicle, and each visit lands in the Stops Today view with minutes on site, the same record the proof-of-service exports draw from, ready to drop straight onto the invoice.

Questions

Field Services Fleet FAQ

How does this improve service response?

Live location and accurate ETAs let dispatch assign the nearest tech and keep customers informed.

Does it help prove work was done?

Geofences and trip history confirm arrival, time on site, and departure for accurate records and billing.

We run eight vans. Is route optimization overkill?

The honest threshold from Geotab's own qualification guidance is about five or more stops per driver per day. Under that, the built-in dispatch and live map cover you. Over it, we can run your last month of trips through the routing analysis and show the savings before you commit.

Do my techs have to juggle another app?

No. One driver app covers it: assigned routes, job messages, vehicle inspections, and electronic driver logs if you ever need them. Techs see their day; dispatch sees everything.

Can this prove a maintenance visit happened for a service contract?

Yes. Geofence each contract site and every visit logs arrival, duration, and departure automatically. Monthly proof-of-service reports arrive in the right inbox on a schedule.
