Enhanced Multi-Day Planning

David Taing
David Taing Product Team

Field work — and travel in general — rarely fit into neat, single-day packages. Whether you're driving long-haul routes, conducting environmental monitoring, or undertaking extended research projects, managing safety and communication across multiple days presents unique challenges.

That's why we're thrilled to introduce our comprehensive multi-day field trip enhancements — designed to give you the control and peace of mind you need for extended operations.

What's new for multi-day operations

Our latest update transforms how you plan, monitor, and manage extended field activities. The enhanced scheduling system now supports comprehensive trip planning with defined start and end dates, making it easier than ever to coordinate complex, multi-day operations.

 

Using the Location picker

 

Smart scheduling and monitoring

The new scheduling improvement allows you to set precise timeframes for your field activities. A new tooltip will appear on the web portal, showing you the important details at a glance: the check-in frequency, when the first check-in is scheduled, and the total duration of your trip.

Streamlined trip planning

Complex field operations require detailed planning, and our enhanced Journey and Work Planner tools deliver exactly that. Create detailed trip layouts that provide everyone involved — from field teams to safety coordinators — with crystal-clear visibility into the operation's scope and requirements.

Flexible timer management

Extended field work means unpredictable schedules. Our enhanced timer system now supports activities lasting well beyond 24 hours, with the flexibility to adjust as conditions change. Whether you need to extend a deadline due to weather delays or shorten it for early completion, these updates give you the adaptability real field work demands.

 

Updating the timer in the web portal.

 

The web portal now serves as a comprehensive command center, allowing remote check-ins, location updates, timer adjustments, and direct communication with field devices — all from a single interface.

Enhanced features by plan level

Base plan improvements

All users benefit from extended timer capabilities, web-based manual check-ins, and the ability to adjust activity durations on the fly. These foundational improvements ensure better safety monitoring regardless of your subscription level.

Premium plan enhancements include multi-day waypoint planning

For Fieldwork and Travel add-on subscribers, we've upgraded our scheduling system with advanced new features, including customisable scheduled start and end dates for activities and improved location indexing for faster site identification. The Travel add-on introduces sophisticated multi-day waypoint planning, perfect for complex routes spanning several days.

Multi-day field work presents unique challenges, but with the right tools, it doesn't have to compromise safety or efficiency. These updates represent our commitment to supporting the real-world complexities of extended field operations while maintaining the safety standards your work demands.
