Short answer

Where is my field crew right now?

Your AI uses the Arrivy connector to pull live GPS data and estimated arrival times for your staff. You get immediate answers about where people are and when they will arrive at a job site.

Where your data lands

What you get from your AI

The AI handles the data retrieval so you don't have to log into a separate dashboard.

LIVE DATA

Real-time location updates

The AI pulls current GPS coordinates for your field staff. You see exactly where they are without opening a tracking app.

ETA UPDATES

Accurate arrival times

Your agent calculates when a crew will reach a destination. This helps you manage client expectations on the fly.

STAFF STATUS

Current crew availability

Get a quick sense of which teams are moving or finishing up. It keeps your scheduling informed.

HUMAN ACTION

Manual dispatching

The AI provides the data, but you still make the calls. You decide which crew to reroute based on the location info provided.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for locations.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat interface and the Arrivy field data.

  1. Fetch staff data

    Your agent reaches out to Arrivy to find all active field personnel currently on duty.

    list_locations

  2. Locate specific crews

    The AI identifies the exact coordinates for the specific team or individual you asked about.

    list_locations

  3. Calculate ETAs

    The agent processes the distance between the crew and the job site to give you a time estimate.

    list_locations

  4. Report findings

    The AI translates the raw GPS and timing data into a plain English update in your chat.

FAQ

How the tracking works

  • 01

    Can the AI move my field crews to new locations?

    No. The AI can only read location data and ETAs. You must use your primary dispatch software to change routes or assignments.

  • 02

    Does the AI update the Arrivy dashboard automatically?

    No. The AI reads data from Arrivy to answer your questions, but it does not write new data back to the Arrivy system.

  • 03

    How often does the location data refresh?

    The AI pulls the most recent data available in Arrivy at the moment you ask the question.

  • 04

    Can I see a map inside my AI chat?

    The AI provides text-based location details and ETAs. It does not render interactive maps directly in the chat window.

  • 05

    Can the AI delete a crew member from my list?

    No. The AI has no permission to delete or modify your staff records.
