Live monitoring & tracking

Live monitoring answers the office's most common question — where is everyone — without a tracker in every van. The phone app is the beacon: with the worker's consent it reports position every few seconds while working, and the map shows people, jobs, customers and vehicles on one view. Tracking devices can be plugged in behind the same seam if you already have them.
What it does
Live monitoring & tracking in TradeYoke
One map
Team, today's jobs, customers and vehicles on one map, filtered by trade or person.
The app is the tracker
No hardware; the phone reports position while the worker is on shift.
Consent first
Each worker consents to tracking and can see what is shared; nothing is silent.
Progress as it happens
Done stops turn green; the office sees the day advancing.
Frequent updates
Positions refresh every few seconds while active.
Pluggable devices
Vehicle trackers can feed the same map through the device seam.

Questions
Asked about live monitoring & tracking
Do I need trackers in the vans?
No. The phone app is the tracker. Dedicated devices can be added if you have them.
Can workers see they are being tracked?
Yes. Tracking is consent-gated per worker and visible to them.
Does it send 'on my way' texts automatically?
Not yet. You can text the customer from the stop; an automatic ETA message is on the roadmap.
Can I see my canvassers on Live Monitoring?
Yes. In TradeYoke, Live Monitoring shows a canvasser's position, street, doors knocked and yeses. Their location is sent when they record a door and every 10 minutes (configurable), never continuously. Canvassing arrived in release 0.3.46.
