FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How can I assign the nearest available technician to a job?
Argus shows live locations of every technician in the field, so dispatchers can assign the nearest available person to each job. Combined with route optimisation, this cuts response times and travel kilometres. Driver ID confirms who is in each vehicle, ensuring jobs go to the right qualified technician and improving first-time arrival performance.
Can fleet tracking generate timesheets for field technicians automatically?
Yes. Argus records trip start and finish times and site arrivals from live GPS data, so timesheets can be generated without manual entry. This produces accurate hours for payroll and fair, defensible billing across your team, and removes the paperwork technicians would otherwise chase up at the end of each day.
How do I verify when a technician arrived at a customer's site?
Argus logs arrival and departure times through live tracking and replayable trip history. If a customer disputes a visit, you can show exactly when the technician reached the site and how long they stayed. Positions update every 500 metres while moving and every 30 minutes while stationary, giving a reliable record of job completion.
How can I keep lone field workers safe while they're out on jobs?
Argus supports lone-worker safety with real-time vehicle location, notifications and driver-behaviour monitoring that flags fatigue and overspeed risk. Knowing where each technician is means help can be directed quickly if something goes wrong, supporting your Health and Safety at Work Act duty of care for staff working alone in the field.
