  • CommTrack on a mobile app is designed for mobile agents who are assigned to collect and report logistics data of products in facilities. They are created by supervisors on CommTrack web.
  • Once they log into the CommTrack mobile app with the credentials provided by supervisors, their associations with given products and given facilities are synced to their mobile app.
  • Data cannot be edited by the agent once it gets submitted. The phone syncs with the server automatically when there is internet connectivity.
