What's New in June 2017 - Improved Geo-tagging, Drag drop workflow customization, Route optimization

By Anonymous

Mobile workforce managementIts been an interesting last few weeks for us as we have been updating our product and putting together an exciting road-map.
Starting with features which have gone live recently

  • Capture Distance from a Task Address inside mEdge: mEdge now supports a current location interface in updates. You can set where the task is to be performed (location) and when your field executive is updating a form, they will see the distance from which they are updating.
    • Eg you need to do a survey at a particular point for installing a tower or advertisement site (say at the start of MG Road, Bangalore). Task is assigned with a specific address and user while has to take photograph and complete survey form within 300m around this point only
  • Improved geo-tagging accuracy in the photos you take with mEdge: With photo evidence with geo tagging of field operations being critical, we have improved our algorithm of accuracy improvement and also added additional parameters in exif of the images. This will help you to ensure your tasks are done where you intended them to be

  • In built time and date validation based on business data. There are needs where in field operations a particular date/time entry use makes is a combination of business data and current time. Now mEdge allows you to configure this and ensure your data errors are reduced to the minimal
    • Eg When a field user is updating about a bill being collected, he can’t enter a bill value older  than the previous bill date and not later than 20 days from current date. With the validation configuration and the previous bill date in the task assignment, the above can easily be achieved

Whats coming up: There a lot of exciting stuffs we are working hard to push and you would be soon hearing about them. Some of the major ones include
