Real-time Workforce Tracking and Management

With inherently distributed teams, field service organizations are challenged with understanding how, when, and where their mobile field workforce is at any given time. Ensuring compliance and safety are just two sides of the equation, while efficiency and cost containment comprise the other. Mobile workforce management software provides the tools to balance all three, giving managers instant visibility into who is available, where they are located, and how efficiently they are performing.

Do you know where your field workforce is at this very moment? If an emergency request comes in, how do you schedule the nearest worker, what parts will they need, and how will the customer be impacted? Answering these questions takes the right field service management software.

The Field Squared Platform empowers end-to-end mobile workforce management, automating your field service processes and operations. Through AI-driven scheduling, mobile workforce tracking, and real-time updates, your dispatcher, supervisor, or field operations manager is in control, with visibility at all times. Even in remote areas where the loss of connectivity is common, Field Squared’s proprietary Mobile, Offline Sync, and Merge Engine work online and offline. Your team never loses data, even when working in remote or low-connectivity environments.

The many benefits include:

  • Online and offline app and data availability, enabling field workers no matter where they are.

  • Real-time GPS tracking using the built-in device of each field worker.

  • Tracking and replay of workforce locations and work orders for verification and auditing.

  • Performance analytics to measure field service productivity and efficiency.

The global mobile workforce management market is projected to grow from $6.39 billion in 2024 to $7.21 billion in 2025, at a 12.7% CAGR (The Business Research Company). This rapid growth shows how organizations are investing in mobile workforce management solutions to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and gain competitive advantage.

Plus, 74% of organizations plan to increase AI investments in the next 12 months — now is the time to adopt AI solutions to stay competitive and meet evolving operational demands.
