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.

  • anyone else having issues with the mobile app showing wrong times after the 3.3 update. my tech in phoenix says his schedule is off by an hour now. was fine before

    is this related or separate bug

  • 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).
