Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers below — for the full explanation, open each question or browse all resource management FAQs.

Which calendar systems does SiteSurvey integrate with?

SiteSurvey integrates with Google Calendar, Microsoft Outlook (including Office 365), and Apple Calendar. Once connected, job assignments created in SiteSurvey appear automatically in each team member's personal calendar, and existing calendar events are reflected back in SiteSurvey as blocked availability. This means schedulers can see a realistic picture of who is free before assigning any job.

How accurate is the GPS tracking in SiteSurvey?

SiteSurvey GPS tracking relies on the location sensor built into the team member's mobile device, which typically provides accuracy to within a few metres under normal outdoor conditions. The app uses the same location services as mapping and navigation applications, so accuracy is consistent with what users would expect from those tools.

Can I control what contractors can see in SiteSurvey?

Yes. SiteSurvey lets you invite contractors as restricted users who can only see the tasks assigned to them. They have no visibility of other projects, other clients, or any data outside their specific assignment. This makes it straightforward to bring external teams onto a project without creating a data security risk.

Does travel time calculation include live traffic data?

Yes. SiteSurvey travel time calculations draw on live mapping data that includes current traffic conditions. When you schedule a job, the estimated travel time reflects actual road conditions at that moment rather than an average or best-case figure. This gives managers a realistic basis for spacing jobs and setting arrival time expectations with clients.

Can I track multiple teams simultaneously in SiteSurvey?

Yes. The SiteSurvey live map dashboard displays all active field team members simultaneously, each shown at their current GPS position with a colour-coded status indicator. Managers overseeing multiple teams or multiple sites can see the entire picture from a single screen without switching between views.

Is the calendar integration two-way?

Yes. The calendar integration in SiteSurvey is two-way. Jobs assigned to a team member in SiteSurvey are written to that person's connected calendar automatically, so they appear alongside other appointments in Google Calendar, Outlook, or Apple Calendar. At the same time, events already in the personal calendar are read back into SiteSurvey and shown as unavailable time when managers are building the schedule.
