Geofencing integration

Abax integration:
hours and trips automatically on your work order

With the Abax integration, hours and trips recorded by Abax are automatically assigned to the digital work order scheduled for that day. A work order scheduled at an address also automatically activates a geo-fence in Abax. Zero manual entry, always accurate records.

Time tracking for field technicians shouldn't be an extra task

Without the Abax integration, technicians log their hours and trips manually at the end of the day. That's error-prone, time-consuming, and rarely produces perfect data. On top of that, you have to manually track when someone was present at a location.

With the Abax integration in Deskflow, this runs fully automatically. Abax records the technician's GPS data, and Deskflow links that data to the right work order. A scheduled work order also automatically activates a geo-fence, so arrival and departure at the location are logged automatically.

Sound familiar?
  • Technicians log hours manually at the end of the day, leading to errors
  • No automatic link between driving data and the right work order
  • Manually tracking when someone was present at a customer address
  • Wasted time and disputes over timesheets at invoicing
Two core features

Abax integration: two features
that automate everything

The Abax integration delivers two concrete automations that completely eliminate manual work for technicians and planners.

Feature 1
Hours and trips automatically on the work order

Abax uses GPS to record every technician's hours and trips. Through the Abax integration, these records are automatically assigned to the digital work order scheduled for that day. The technician no longer needs to enter anything themselves.

  • Abax records hours and trips via GPS tracking
  • Deskflow automatically links to that day's work order
  • No manual time tracking by technicians
  • Always accurate timesheets for precise invoicing
Feature 2
Automatic geo-fencing at the scheduled address

When you create a work order in Deskflow with a customer address, the Abax integration automatically activates a geo-fence around that address. Abax detects when the technician arrives and leaves, and logs this automatically on the work order.

  • Create a work order in Deskflow → automatic geo-fence in Abax
  • Arrival and departure at the location logged automatically
  • Always know when who was present at a customer address
  • Transparent tracking for customers and internal reporting
How does it work?

Abax integration in four steps:
from work order to automatic recording

Set it up once, and everything then runs automatically for every work order and every technician.

1
Create the work order in Deskflow

You create a digital work order in Deskflow for a customer at a specific address and assign a technician. The work order contains all customer and project data.

2
Geo-fence automatically active at the address

Through the Abax integration, a geo-fence is automatically created around the work order's address. Abax detects the technician's arrival and departure at that location.

3
Abax records hours and trips

Abax uses GPS to track the technician's hours and trips on the day of the work order. All data is collected automatically, with no manual entry required from the technician.

4
Automatic link to the work order

Through the Abax integration, recorded hours, trips and location data are automatically assigned to the right work order in Deskflow. Accurate timesheets, precise invoicing, full transparency.
