Team Management

Assign work areas, track real-time progress, and coordinate field crews efficiently

Managing field teams across large geographic areas is challenging without visibility into who's working where and what's been completed. Geocadra's team management features give you a real-time operational picture—see your entire team on a map, assign specific areas or tasks to individuals, track completion progress, and receive notifications when milestones are reached. No more end-of-day surprises, no more overlapping work, and no more gaps in coverage.

The Challenge of Coordinating Field Operations

Field managers face a fundamental visibility problem: once crews leave the office, you lose sight of progress until they return. You don't know if Team A has finished their assigned area, if Team B is running behind schedule, or if anyone has accidentally started work in the wrong location. This lack of real-time information leads to inefficient resource allocation, duplicate work, missed areas, and frustrated crews. By the time you discover problems, the day is already wasted.

How Geocadra Solves This

Geocadra provides real-time visibility into field operations. A web dashboard shows your team's current locations, the areas they've been assigned, and their completion progress. Assign specific geographic zones to team members so everyone knows exactly where they should be working. Watch progress bars fill as inspections are completed. Receive push notifications when crews finish their assigned areas or when potential issues arise. The result is proactive management instead of reactive firefighting.

How It Works

1

Define Work Areas

Draw polygons on the map to define work zones, or import boundary files from your GIS system. Break large projects into manageable areas that can be assigned to individuals or teams. Areas can be nested—a region containing multiple zones, each with specific assignments.

2

Assign to Team Members

Assign each work area to specific team members. Field workers see only their assigned areas in the mobile app, reducing confusion about where they should be working. You can reassign areas in real-time if situations change.

3

Monitor Progress

The web dashboard shows progress for each work area—how many features have been inspected, what percentage is complete, and who's working in each zone. Map views colour areas by completion status so you can see at a glance where attention is needed.

4

Receive Notifications

Set up notifications for key events: when a team member completes their assigned area, when progress falls behind expected pace, or when someone submits a critical finding. Notifications come via email or push notification to your phone.

5

Review and Reassign

As work progresses, review completed inspections, approve or request corrections, and reassign areas as needed. If one crew finishes early, quickly assign them to help another area. Full flexibility to adapt to field conditions.

Common Use Cases

Large-Scale Inspection Campaigns

When inspecting thousands of assets across a wide area, team management ensures complete coverage. Divide the territory into zones, assign crews, and track progress until every asset is inspected. No gaps, no duplicates.

Distributed Teams

Teams spread across different cities or regions can be managed from a single dashboard. Each regional team sees their local assignments while managers maintain visibility across the entire operation.

Contractor Coordination

When using subcontractors, assign them specific areas and monitor their progress against contractual obligations. Time-stamped completion records provide documentation for milestone payments.

Emergency Response

During storm damage assessments or emergency inspections, quickly divide affected areas among available crews. Real-time progress tracking ensures rapid coverage of critical infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Geocadra track team member locations?

Team locations are only visible to managers during active work sessions, and only when team members have location sharing enabled. Workers control their location privacy settings. The focus is on progress tracking, not surveillance.

Can team members see each other's work?

Permissions are configurable. You can allow team members to see everyone's progress, restrict visibility to only their own work, or set up team-based visibility where crews can see their team but not other teams.

How many team members can I manage?

Geocadra scales from small teams to enterprise deployments with hundreds of field workers. The dashboard is designed to handle large numbers of concurrent users without performance degradation.

What kinds of notifications can I set up?

Notifications can be triggered by completion events (area finished, milestone reached), progress events (falling behind pace), or data events (critical finding submitted). Delivery options include email, push notifications, and webhook integrations.
