Anyone managing a team across multiple time zones in FieldPulse?

We are exploring how distributed field service organizations are navigating the complexities of multi-timezone operations within FieldPulse. This is an area where we see significant growth in customer needs, and your insights directly inform our roadmap.

Key Questions for the Community

  • How are you currently configuring technician availability across time zones?
  • What friction points have you encountered with dispatch scheduling when your team spans regions?
  • Are you leveraging any integrations or workflows to streamline coordination across boundaries?
  • How do you handle customer-facing communications (SMS, email) when appointment windows may shift relative to local time?

We have observed that organizations with 15+ technicians distributed across three or more time zones often develop sophisticated operational patterns. Your real-world experiences will help us unlock more seamless multi-timezone capabilities.

Please share your current approach — whether polished or works-in-progress. We are particularly interested in edge cases that have required creative problem-solving.

Thank you in advance for your contributions to this discussion.

  • Teresa — this appears to be a separate issue. The Settings > Timezone configuration in the mobile app now respects device location by default, which can override the user profile setting in certain conditions.

    Please advise your technician to:

    1. Open FieldPulse > Settings > General
    2. Toggle "Use Device Timezone" to Off
    3. Verify the "Timezone" dropdown displays America/Phoenix

    If the issue persists after these steps, please open a support ticket with the technician's device model and app version (visible in Settings > About).
