SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ:
TRMB) announced today the addition of a Supervisor app to its
FieldMaster suite of mobile applications. The latest addition to
the suite is designed to enable managers to stay efficient and
effective on the go by empowering them to do more work in the field
and manage their day-to-day operations remotely. With the
FieldMaster Supervisor app, managers can leave the office and still
have visibility into their fleet and mobile workers from their
smartphone or tablet.
"Mobility is an increasingly valuable tool for field service
organizations," said John Cameron,
general manager of Trimble's Field Service Management (FSM)
Division. "It allows a traditional office role to move into the
field and still access up-to-date information about the performance
of the field operation. The result is a more effective operation
where managers in the field have the information they need at their
fingertips."
"I'm often meeting with customers or surveying a job so it's
important for me to know my technicians' location," said
Dave Rowan, manager of Del-Mar Doors
in Delaware. "I use FieldMaster
Supervisor whenever I'm on the road. I can open the app and see
where my team is, where they've been and how long they've been at
each location. Having quick access to this information has improved
my efficiency and productivity. FieldMaster Supervisor is an
excellent tool."
FieldMaster Supervisor is available with Trimble Fleet
Management and Trimble Work Management solutions. Key features
include:
- Viewing all locations of your entire team on a map
- Seeing each team member's job progress, including tasks at
risk
- Finding the nearest worker to another team member or
customer
- Navigating to key locations using turn-by-turn directions
- Inspecting job performance and documenting status in the
field
- Receiving important vehicle and driver performance alerts in
real-time
FieldMaster mobile applications are a core component of FSM's
integrated suite of field service management solutions that
includes Fleet Management, Work Management and Driver Safety.
FieldMaster also includes a Technician app, which is an advanced
collaboration tool for mobile technicians that allow them to
receive, access and update job information in real-time for
improved effectiveness on the job.
FieldMaster mobile applications are available from the Google
PlayStore and the Apple App Store. For more information,
