GeoTracker

One tap in the field, the whole week on a map

Street outreach tracking software has to work with one thumb, standing on a sidewalk. GeoTracker logs where an encounter happened in one tap from the client's profile, gathers those logs into places your team names, and puts everyone's week on a supervisor's map. It's in heavy daily field use at a large Oregon agency.

An illustration of the GeoTracker supervisor map: one team's week of location logs, clustered into places — two named by staff, one still waiting for a name.

What GeoTracker does

Not a roadmap item — this module is in heavy daily field use at a large Oregon agency, and it shows in the details.

Log it in one tap

From the client's profile, one tap on the quick-action menu records a location log with a Global Positioning System (GPS) stamp — the client's record attached, and a task attached when you want one. No form, no typing an address that doesn't exist.

Home visits, verified

For home-visit programs, creating a task can capture a GPS location automatically — so field tasks carry a location stamp without anyone thinking about it.

Logs become places

Locations within about 250 feet of each other cluster into a place automatically. Staff give it the name the team actually uses — the underpass, the camp behind the fairgrounds — and dissolve it when it no longer applies.

The week on one map

Supervisors see every log on a map with marker clustering, filtered by worker, client, task list, place, or date range. Coverage, gaps, and patterns are visible at a glance instead of assembled from memory.

Proof for funders

When a home-visiting or outreach funder asks you to verify where services happened, every log is a location-stamped answer — and the whole set exports to Excel.

Ready for the PIT count

The Point-in-Time (PIT) count — the one-night count of people experiencing homelessness that HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) asks communities to run — is field logging at its most intense. Count teams log each contact where it happens; the map shows what ground was covered.

Questions outreach teams ask

How does logging work in the field?

From the client's profile on a phone, one tap on the quick-action menu creates a location log with a GPS stamp and a timestamp, with the client's record attached — and a task attached when the worker wants a follow-up. There is no form to fill out and no address to invent for a tent site or an underpass.

What is a place, and who controls the list?

When location logs land within roughly 250 feet of each other, GeoTracker clusters them into a place automatically. Your staff give each place the name the team actually uses, and dissolve a place when it stops being one. Named places then work as a filter on the supervisor map.

What do funders actually get?

Location-stamped service verification: each log records where and when a service contact happened, tied to a client and a worker. Supervisors filter the map by worker, client, task list, place, or date range, and location logs export to Excel for home-visiting and outreach reporting.

Can we run our Point-in-Time count with it?

Yes — GeoTracker is a strong PIT count tool. The Point-in-Time (PIT) count is the one-night count of people experiencing homelessness that HUD, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, asks communities to conduct. Count-night teams log each contact where it happens; afterward, the map shows what ground was covered and the Excel export supports the tally.
