Is WhatsApp and Google Maps enough to run a field team?

The short answer

Plenty of teams run on WhatsApp and Google Maps, and it works until someone asks what happened last Tuesday. There is no record, no timestamps, nothing to put on an invoice and nothing to check a timesheet against.

In more detail

No history

A shared location in a chat is gone when the chat moves on. Hellotracks keeps the full history of every trip, stop and visit, so you can look back as far as you need.

No proof

A photo in a group chat is hard to find later. In Hellotracks, photos, signatures and forms sit on the job, with time and place.

No plan

Messages tell people where to go one at a time. Hellotracks sends each worker their jobs in the best order and updates them when plans change.

No hours

Nobody can check a timesheet against a chat. Hellotracks turns tracking on and off into clock in and clock out.

To be honest

When chat is fine

If you have two or three people, no customer asks for proof, and nobody needs to check hours, a chat group may be all you need. The moment you need a record, it is not.

Is Hellotracks hard to switch to?

No. Create the account on the web, add your people, and they log in to the app. Most teams are running the same day.

Can we try it without paying?
