MOBILE ENGINEER TRACKING APP
Cut down on how long it takes to get engineers to the job site by using mobile engineer tracking software to assign the closest engineers.
When outside of the office it can be hard to know exactly where your engineers are. This can make it hard to know who to assign jobs to, which can impact your ability to get an engineer to a job as quickly as possible. Joblogic’s mobile engineer tracking app lets you know the geographic location of your engineers in real-time, letting you select the engineers best suited to take a job and keep your customers in the loop on when they’ll be arriving.
Live GPS Tracking
With live GPS tracking, you can see where all your engineers are in real-time, allowing you to identify which engineers is geographically located in the best position to complete a job that’s come in. The real-time location of your engineers is displayed on an embedded Google Map along with any relevant job information and job status whilst also updating every five minutes, providing you with a valuable tool to assign, track and monitor jobs.
If you've got lots of engineers, you can filter the display with your field engineer tracking software to show you the resources you have across each area for even easier job scheduling and management.
Historical Tracking
Whilst live tracking can help you schedule jobs more efficiently, our historical tracking tool can be used to verify timesheets. Each change in job status is automatically GPS stamped on our engineer tracking app. This means we can show you the exact position of your engineer when they said that they arrived or left a customer site, including a historic dot/ line view that shows you the exact direction followed. Joblogic can also show routes taken by engineers during the day so that you have a complete picture from when they travelled to their first job to when they arrived back at the office or home. Joblogic also provides route optimisation software to help your engineers reach their destinations quickly and efficiently.

Frequently asked questions about Mobile Engineer Tracking
A Mobile Engineer Tracking App is a software application designed specifically to track the whereabouts and activities of field service engineers (sometimes called technicians) working on-site at customer locations. It's a specialised mobile field service app focusing on location tracking and monitoring engineer activity.
Mobile Engineer Tracking Apps (META) are crucial in optimising field service operations within the UK. These applications provide real-time visibility into the whereabouts and activities of your mobile workforce, enhancing efficiency and communication. Let's explore the core functionalities of META:
Mobile App Deployment: Field engineers download and install the secure mobile app on their designated smartphones or tablets. Login credentials ensure authorised access.
Real-time GPS Tracking: The mobile app leverages the device's GPS functionality to continuously track the engineer's location. This data is transmitted securely to the back-end software for centralised management.
Secure Back-end Software and Data Storage: The back-end software, either cloud-based or hosted locally, acts as a secure repository for engineer location data from the mobile app.
Map-based Visualisation: Dispatchers or authorised office staff can access a digital map interface within the back-end software. This map provides a real-time view of the field team's locations across the UK, facilitating informed decision-making.
The key features of a Mobile Engineer Tracking Apps are:
- Location Tracking and Visibility
- Real-time GPS Tracking
- Work History and Reporting
- Improved Communication and Coordination
