Would you like to start tracking the amount of travel time it takes for your technicians to get to a job? Would you like to send a quick and automated message to your customer letting them know that the technician is on their way? Look no further than the 'On My Way' job status in FieldPulse.
First things first, let's make sure it's enabled in your account.

After enabling, when you complete scheduling a new job, you'll notice the 'On My Way' status appear on the job record.
Technicians can easily select in one click the 'On My Way' status through the mobile app to begin the travel time as well as notify the customer.

There will be a 'Travel Time' section that appears on the job record.
