The on‑ground gaps teams face with FieldEdge
For on‑ground operations teams workflows, reporting is only as good as the data behind it. Here’s what teams usually want to fix when switching from FieldEdge:
✓
“We struggle to validate time‑on‑site for jobs and visits.”
✓
“Routes look fine on paper, but I can’t verify what happened.”
✓
“I can’t tell who is actually in the field right now.”
✓
“Managers spend hours reconciling logs with reality.”
TeamSpoor focuses on the field layer—so your team gets proof and clarity without extra process overhead.

FAQ
Quick answers about work‑hours tracking, routes, and visit proof.
No. GPS attendance is optional and can be enabled only when your workflow and policy require it—many teams use TeamSpoor purely for routes and visit verification.
It depends on what you use FieldEdge for. TeamSpoor replaces the field visibility layer (location, routes, visits, optional GPS attendance). Many teams keep other systems for billing, HR, or CRM and use TeamSpoor for on‑ground proof.
Battery impact depends on device and settings. TeamSpoor is designed to be efficient while keeping location updates reliable for real‑world field work.
If connectivity drops temporarily, the app can capture activity and sync when the device reconnects (depending on device settings and policy).
Try TeamSpoor as your FieldEdge alternative
