A distributor with a team on beats
- Today. Where they went is whatever they say on the evening call.
- With Takkada. The Team Map shows who is on duty, where each was last seen and his battery, refreshed every minute.
HomeLIVE TRACKING
Where your salesmen went today, on one map, before the evening call.
Tally holds the orders and receipts your salesmen bring back; where they went and how far is whatever they say on the evening call. Live Tracking records location only between Start day and End day on the salesman's Android phone, and lays his route beside his orders and receipts.
- Location and battery recorded only during the working day
- A Team Map of who is on duty and who stopped reporting
- Kilometres travelled and the route for each day
- Android phones only; the iPhone app does not track
WHO IT'S FOR
Made for businesses with salesmen in the field
A business that pays travel by the kilometre
- Today. Kilometres come from the salesman's own claim.
- With Takkada. Kilometres are counted per day from his route, and shown to him at End day.
An owner who wants orders matched to visits
- Today. Orders reach Tally with nothing to say where they were taken.
- With Takkada. The day view lays his route, check-in pins, orders and receipts side by side.
Work you stop doing
- Calling each salesman to ask where he is
- Paying travel claims with nothing to check them against
- Finding out a phone went quiet only when he does not pick up
LIVE TRACKING
One working day, from Start day to End day
He starts the day, tracking starts
The home screen carries a Start your day card. The first time, he sees what is recorded and agrees to it. From Start day to End day the phone reports where it is, and a notification stays on the whole time, so nothing runs out of sight.
The Team Map, refreshed every minute
Pins for everyone on duty, and a line per person with when they were last seen, the battery left and the kilometres covered today. Anyone silent for twenty minutes reads Stopped reporting, and Day ended or Never started today covers the rest.
His day, drawn out
Tap a name for the day: the route on the map, the gaps where the phone went quiet, the check-in pins, and the orders and receipts he made, including the ones keyed in Tally. End day tells the salesman how many kilometres he covered.
Rules you set
The admin picks how often the phone reports, every 2, 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and the time tracking stops by itself if nobody ends the day. Below 15% battery the phone reports less often. Locations are kept for 90 days.

Tally keeps the books and was never meant to record where a salesman went. Live Tracking records on Android phones only, includes visit check-in and check-out, writes nothing to Tally, and keeps locations for 90 days.
Live Tracking is an add-on, priced by your partner. It records on Android phones only; the Team Map also opens in a computer browser with Web view.

No. Recording runs only between Start day and End day, and a notification stays on the phone the whole time. If he forgets to end the day, it stops by itself at the time the admin sets, eight in the evening unless changed. Owners and admins are not tracked.
No. Live Tracking records on Android phones only, and the iPhone app does not show it at all. The Team Map can be opened on an Android phone, or in a computer browser when Web view is on for the company.
The phone keeps the location points and sends them when the signal returns, holding up to 48 hours of them. If the app is closed and opened again during the day, tracking picks up again on its own.
Members with full access, and anyone you give the View team location permission. Everyone else on the team works without it. Locations are kept for 90 days and then removed, so the record covers about one quarter.
A visit check-in proves he stood at one shop: a camera photo, the location and the time on one record. Live Tracking answers a different question, where he is now and how far he went today, and its day view puts the check-in pins on the same route.
