The visit happened. Prove it, and price it, the same day.
Beat plans, work orders, dispatch and routes for teams that work outside the building, with a native app that captures the visit as evidence: location, photographs, readings, customer signature. The day is re-planned when reality moves, not at the end of the week.
Arrival may be recorded inside 150 m
1.8 km · arrival unlocks inside 150 m
Inlet pressure · 2.4–2.8 bar
Proof remains attached to WO-4812.
Traffic compressed the arrival buffer to 12 minutes.
The field day is one evidence chain, not a mobile form beside a dispatch board.
WO-4812 starts as a service commitment, becomes Ravi’s at-site task, consumes the part already on VAN-27 and closes only when its evidence survives the drive back.
Commit the right engineer.
Skill, parts, SLA window and current location are visible before Priya confirms the route.
Carry the job into the field.
Ravi works the checklist, readings and van-stock consumption on the same order.
Make closure an evidence event.
Geo, time, photographs, readings and signature stay attached to WO-4812.
Let the back office trust the day.
The verified route reaches inventory, claims and service without re-keying.
What changes
Run the route around reality. Keep the authority visible.
Field tools are evaluated on scheduling features and bought on whether the data comes back true. These rows are about both.
Planning & beats
A monthly beat plan, printed and departed from.
Plans built from coverage rules, priority and travel time, then re-planned mid-day when a visit is missed: with the trade-off shown to the supervisor.
Dispatch & scheduling
A dispatcher, a whiteboard, and a phone.
Jobs matched to skill, parts availability, SLA window and current location; the dispatch agent proposes, the dispatcher confirms in one screen.
Mobile execution
A form that needs signal and re-typing later.
The app carries the job, checklist, price list and history; capture continues through weak signal and syncs with the conflict resolved, not overwritten.
Proof of visit
A check-in button, trusted on faith.
Location, timestamp, photographs, meter readings and customer signature attach to the job: a visit without evidence does not close.
Parts & inventory
Van stock in a separate spreadsheet.
Van and technician stock is a live location in the inventory model, consumed on the job card, so the part leaves the van and the ledger together.
Expenses & payout
Claims submitted weekly, argued monthly.
Travel computed from the verified route, allowances applied from policy, and the claim is ready for approval the same evening.
One dispatch surface from today’s route to closure proof.
Priya can see why Ravi should retain the work order, which evidence supports that path and what remains due in the field. Nothing moves until the route decision is recorded.

The proof task is large enough to do, not merely to recognise.

Dispatcher review before any route change
No route or job state has changed.
Dispatcher confirms. Engineer accepts.
Inside 150 m · arrival evidence unlocked
Closure stays blocked until all four sources attach.
Priya Shah remains dispatch authority.
The field day, end to end.
One app for field sales, service engineers, collections officers and auditors: the job type differs, the discipline does not. The product boundary is the same job and evidence trail, not a list of disconnected modules.

The route agent may prepare a recovery, but Priya confirms the move and Ravi accepts it in the field app. Proof still decides whether the job closes.
“which visits closed yesterday without a geo-verified check-in, and whose”
Three agents on the day. The engineer owns the job.
Agents prepare and verify the day. Dispatch, field acceptance, stock and exception authority remain named.
Matches each job to skill, parts and SLA window, and proposes the reassignment when one over-runs.

A 90-minute working session: your job types, proof rules and beat coverage drafted as an FRS, approved, and generated to a staging tenant with the mobile app on your phone.
Field operations is meta on the platform: van stock is a location in the same inventory model, jobs reference the same customer record, and every proof artefact is retained under your own residency policy.
