How does Salesforce Maps integrate with Field Service Lightning?
Suggested answer
Salesforce Maps (formerly MapAnything) provides geospatial visualization and routing capabilities that enhance FSL:
1. Live Tracking — real-time technician location updates on the Dispatcher Console map, powered by Maps Live or the FSL mobile app GPS.
2. Route Optimization — turn-by-turn navigation for technicians with traffic-aware routing, integrated with the Field Service Mobile app.
3. Territory Planning — visual territory boundary creation and balancing using Maps Territory Planning.
4. Marker Layers — overlay customer locations, appointment addresses, and resource positions on a single map.
5. Drive-Time Analysis — calculate realistic travel times between appointment locations for scheduling. Maps data feeds into the FSL Scheduling Policy to improve travel-time estimates used by the optimizer.
