Google Coordinate - mobile workforce coordination app

In some companies, there is a need to coordinate the work of teams that are constantly being on the move - out of office. For example, it may be teams supporting complex equipment, transportation and security companies. In such cases manager (or supervisor) in any moment needs to know the geographical location of each employee and his current availability. For such companies Google has launched a new service - Google Coordinate. It was not very difficult, because Google has its own maps service - Google Maps and has an experience with GPS-positioning (remember Google Latitude). In addition to displaying the location of employees Google Coordinate allows to assign tasks to workers and track their status (receive check-in notifications and reports). The supervisor can even manage the entire workflow via the phone:



The service provides Android-application and mobile web interface. Google Coordinate is available globally for Google Apps users. It costs $15/user per month.
