Challenges for Multi-site Organizations with Field Teams

Multi-site companies and organizations (maintenance, construction, services, industry, emergency services, logistics) rely on mobile field teams, spread across multiple agencies, bases, or operational areas.

Every day, managers must answer the same question:
who is available, where, and for which mission?

Without a suitable tool, coordination quickly becomes time-consuming and a source of errors.

Limitations of Non-Centralized Field Management

In many multi-site structures, organization still relies on:

• unsynchronized local schedules
• communication by phone or messaging
• Excel spreadsheets per site

This leads to:

• poor visibility of available staff
• uneven distribution of workload
• downtime at some sites and teams under pressure elsewhere
• loss of responsiveness to unforeseen events

The organization functions, but at the cost of a heavy mental burden for supervisors.

Centralizing Coordination with eBrigade

To streamline daily organization, the structure adopts eBrigade as its central tool for field team coordination.

All sites are grouped within a single platform:

• agencies
• construction sites
• operational areas
• mobile teams

Each field agent has a profile including:

• their assigned site
• their skills and qualifications
• their availabilities
• their mission history

Daily Organization of Field Teams

Managers schedule teams:

• by site
• by mission
• by geographical area

At a glance, they visualize:

• available staff
• teams already deployed
• reinforcement possibilities between sites

If needed, teams can be quickly redeployed, without cascading calls or improvisation.

Simplified Local and Regional Management

• local managers handle their daily operations
• regional managers visualize stresses or overcapacities
• management benefits from a consolidated view

Coordination becomes seamless, without micromanagement.
