When you create a supplier, you have the option of typing all the supplier's address details in or using the address that Google prompts when you start typing. If you select Google's suggestion, the address as well as the GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) for that location are recorded. With these coordinates in the system, your Field users can quickly locate their nearest outlet.

Search for a Supplier via GPS

GPS coordinates

For this feature to work, you must have GPS coordinates entered on your supplier cards.

In this example, Google has found matching coordinates for '1 Chapel Street, Blackburn, VIC' so 'Level 2' has been manually typed into the 'Location Name' field.

 
 

From Menu Purchase Orders, or when creating a purchase order from a task:

  1. Tap (green plus).
  2.  Make sure Wholesalers is selected.
  3.  Tap (filter) > Nearest (GPS).
  4. If you have GPS Coordinates loaded against your suppliers as described above, AroFlo Field will use your position to find the nearest suppliers.
  5. Tap the supplier and continue building a PO as usual.
