Major Updates to TrackoField in August 2025

Feature 1: Task Approval Settings

We have introduced a feature that lets managers approve tasks before their field executives/subordinate managers start them or after they complete them.

Why?

Well, in certain industries, field executives work without much supervision and can resort to data fudging by:

• Completing tasks prematurely.
• Self-assigning fake tasks.
• Completing tasks haphazardly without attaching proof of work.

This way, executives can appear to meet task targets early, enjoy unearned incentives, and claim unwarranted reimbursements.

But now, these issues can be easily tackled with the newly introduced task approval settings.

• Managers can prevent task start for executives’ self-created tasks if pending/rejected.
• Push notifications for any new task creation/completion requiring approval is sent to managers.

The mobile task dashboard shows the approval status (Pending, Approved, Rejected, N/A) on task cards and in map view. The remarks are displayed via the tooltip on i icon.

Here’s how to enable Task Approval Settings:

Step 1: Open Field Operations (FO) settings

Step 2: Click Task Approval

Step 3: Select one of the two options:

• Before Task Start
• After Task Complete

Managers can view and act on pending task approvals on a dedicated new UI.

Feature 2: Mobile GST Verification

We have enabled GST verification in Customer Module in the TF mobile app. Here’s how it works:

• You enter the GST number in customer details
• Click on “Fetch GST Details”
• Enter the CAPTCHA.

Once the CAPTCHA code is verified, customer details are curated from GSTIN and the following fields are auto-filled:

• Customer Name
• Contact Number (if linked with the GST number)
• City
• Pin Code
• Customer Address

However, Contact Person and all custom fields will need to be manually filled.

*For invalid GST number, an error message is displayed onscreen.

What’s New in TrackoField’s Field Executive App?

• We have updated the push notification text for FO settings in English, Hindi, Spanish, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, French. Now, only a generic notification text will be sent instead of the specific FO action.

• We added support for French language to the mobile app.
• Goals module is now updated so managers can view goals created by the upper hierarchy.
• Salary module for managers can now be viewed in the FE app.
• The mobile reports module is updated to show reports for managers. This includes Distance, Distance between tasks, Distance within task, and Cumulative task distance report.
• Managers can now create orders from the Field Executive app. The order is sent to their higher manager for approval.
• We modified the android Leave Module to add “Expired” option in leave status after “Consumed” if comp-off provision is enabled.
• We have now enabled geofence visibility on the Task and Attendance module in TrackoField’s mobile app. You can view geofence and current location in map for Mark In/Out, and Task Start/Complete.

What’s New in Tasks & Forms?

• We added an Approval Status column (Approved, Rejected, Pending, N/A) to Task table and filters, along with Excel export support.
• A 5MB size restriction to PDF uploads is now applicable. This is aligned with image file restrictions.

What’s More?

• We have now restricted manager role from logging into FE app on multiple devices simultaneously without affecting web/admin logins.
• We integrated TF application with HROne HRMS software for attendance mark-in/mark-out syncing via scheduler.
• We updated Me and My Team API for Orders, Goals, and Payroll.
• We enabled goal creation for managers and made indirect managers’ goals visible to reporting managers.
• Latitude/longitude capture for geofence-verified mobile attendance has been added.
• The following sections are now updated to include manager-level data:
  a) Distance Reports
  b) Schedule Report
  c) Compliance Module
  d) Analytics Dashboard
