Clock-in-Clock Out Traveling technicians and outside sales agents must use Clock-in-Clock out procedure to record all their working hours.
Mobile device support Traveling technicians and outside sales agents require time entry via mobile devices.
Geo tracking Mobile users are at increased risk of recording hours incorrectly. (Time spent away from designated locations.) Dispatchers must know where technicians are
Managers must know source of time Mobile workers may use manual time entry to make corrections . Punch-in Punch out time is more reliable.

FIORI – Great out of the box but not for GEO tracking
The original plan to build the GEO tracking capability in FIORI was revised. Deployment of the standard FIROI applications were very simple. The team did not spend much time on this task at all. Recommendation: Infrastructure setup is more difficult than the deployment of the FIORI applications. Plan accordingly.
FIORI has its own security setup
FIORI security roles are separate from the ERP security roles. We ended up building a tool to automate the security setup from the ERP system to the FIORI boxes.
Try not to reinvent the wheel
Loosely coupling a well developed system such as Tsheets was one of the best decisions of this project. The 3rd party tool was a good fit, very well developed and user friendly. It allowed the deployment of functionality that was not even planned at the beginning of the project.
