Real-Time Location

Location Visibility for Field Teams — Without Guesswork

The Real-Time Location module in Custom Trades CRM gives trade businesses visibility into where field teams are during the workday — directly from their mobile devices.

This module is designed for contractors who manage mobile crews and need accurate location data to support dispatching, time tracking, and accountability in the field. Custom Trades CRM is a CRM for contractors built for real-world operations, not assumptions.

Know Where Crews Are — When It Matters

When teams are in the field, visibility matters.

  • See technician locations during work hours
  • Verify arrival and departure at job sites
  • Support accurate time tracking for hourly workers
  • Reduce disputes around time and location

This data feeds directly into your field service CRM and job management software, giving office teams better context without constant check-ins.

Built for Mobile-First Work

Real-Time Location works through the Custom Trades CRM mobile app, allowing technicians to:

  • Run jobs from their phone or tablet (iOS, iPadOS, Android)
  • Capture location data automatically
  • Avoid manual check-ins

Technicians just use the iPhone/iPad or Android phone or tablet assigned to them.
