Satrack OnTime brings GPS tracking and job scheduling together in one app that monitors every appointment for you.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s 8:42 a.m., and your phone has already rung four times. One technician is stuck in traffic. A customer wants to know if anyone is showing up. And nobody’s quite sure who’s handling the first job of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For many field service businesses, that’s not a bad morning. That’s every morning. It’s not the work itself that’s wearing you down. It’s the constant chasing: calling, texting, checking the map, and crossing your fingers that nobody shows up late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satrack OnTime was built to put an end to that. You schedule the job and assign a vehicle. From that moment on, OnTime monitors the appointment for you. It automatically confirms arrivals, alerts you when a job is running late, and sends you a daily performance summary every morning. Stop managing vehicles. Start managing jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, Satrack OnTime is field service scheduling software with built-in GPS tracking. It connects every job to its assigned vehicle, sends real-time delay alerts, automatically confirms arrivals and departures at customer locations, and delivers a daily summary every morning. Available on Android and iOS, starting at $13.99 per vehicle\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call #1: “Where Are You?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> It’s the most common call in field services\u2014and often the least useful. You’re interrupting a technician who’s driving, and by the time you hang up, their location has already changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Satrack OnTime:<\/strong> All your vehicles and scheduled jobs appear on the same map, in real time. Open any job to see the customer’s name, address, service details, and assigned vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you gain:<\/strong> The answer in two seconds. A technician who can keep driving. And a phone that stays in your pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call #2: “Have You Arrived Yet?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> Knowing where a vehicle is doesn’t necessarily tell you whether the appointment has actually started. So you call again. And again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Satrack OnTime:<\/strong> The moment you assign a vehicle to a job, monitoring starts automatically. When the vehicle arrives at the customer’s address, OnTime confirms the arrival for you. No geofences to draw. No check-in button for your technician to press. No extra setup required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you gain:<\/strong> Automatic confirmation that each appointment has started\u2014without lifting a finger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call #3: “Why Hasn’t Anyone Shown Up?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> This call comes from your customer. By the time they reach out, they’ve already been waiting, they’re frustrated, and they might even be writing a negative review. You shouldn’t have to hear about a problem from your customer first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Satrack OnTime:<\/strong> You receive a real-time “Vehicle Delayed” alert when a vehicle is running late for a scheduled appointment. If a 2:00 p.m. appointment is running behind at 2:05, you already know. You can notify the customer, reassign the job, or reschedule the appointment before they pick up the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you gain:<\/strong> More on-time arrivals, fewer complaints, and more opportunities to earn five-star reviews. Same delay. Completely different customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call #4: “Who’s Handling This Job?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> An unassigned job is one of the fastest ways to miss an appointment. And too often, you don’t realize it until it’s too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Satrack OnTime:<\/strong> Scheduling takes seconds. Just enter the customer, address, date, and type of service. Daily and weekly calendar views give you a clear picture of every scheduled job, while unassigned jobs are flagged so nothing slips through the cracks. Already using Google Calendar? Sync it in just a few taps. Running a roofing business? Connect AccuLynx and see your scheduled jobs alongside your vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you gain:<\/strong> A schedule where every job has someone assigned\u2014and nothing gets overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Call #5: “How Did We Do Yesterday?”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The problem:<\/strong> Figuring out what happened yesterday means more phone calls, more text messages, and a lot of guesswork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With Satrack OnTime:<\/strong> Every morning, your daily performance summary is waiting on your phone. It shows you how the previous day went, job by job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you gain:<\/strong> Start every morning knowing what worked, what didn’t, and what needs attention\u2014before the first call comes in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
