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. Watch the video to learn more. |
