Whether it’s a service call, a delivery or a job site, the LBS Edge Suite features a mobile application to provide real-time and historical location data for your resources at any time or anywhere. When used with a location-based-services platform, LBS Edge Suite monitors your workforce to ensure they are where you expect them to be and to see the route they took to get there. If you are in the field and need to accurately know where you are, just select the ‘Locate Me’ button and LBS Edge Suite will present your location either by street address or by longitude and latitude. LBS Edge Suite even supports you in an emergency and provides you a ‘Panic Button’ to alert your management of a problem so they can accurately locate you to arrange assistance. LBS Edge Suite is a fully configurable application and allows you to set a schedule for when you want the application to track you. You can also set the application’s tracking sensitivity for how accurately it tracks your location and how often it reports on your movements or when you are not moving. Available in English, Spanish or Portuguese, Location Tracker gives you immediate resource location information, location history for accountability and a way to quickly alert your management for supporting during an emergency.
