FranConnect is excited to introduce a new geolocation tracking feature designed to enhance the effectiveness and transparency of field operations. This innovative functionality allows Field Ops administrators to verify the real-time location of Field Business Consultants (FBCs) during their site visits. By integrating this technology into our platform, we aim to provide a more accurate and efficient way for administrators to ensure that FBCs are at the designated locations, thereby optimizing the quality and reliability of field assessments. This support article will guide you through the capabilities of this new feature, its setup, and how to leverage it to improve your field operations.
