Can the phone track me?

The phone can track you while you are logged in and using the app. If you logout and turn off the app the system can no longer track you. We have no interest in tracking your whereabouts when you are not working and the NowGo app cannot track you if you are logged out.

I cannot login to NowGo, my device shows a spinner on login.

Force close NowGo, restart NowGo and attempt to login. If that doesn't resolve the issue, uninstall and reinstall NowGo.

I forgot my password, how do I login to the app?

Please contact your supervisor to assist you with a password reset.

Sequencing my route doesn't work.

Make that you have internet connectivity and location services enabled on your device. Reattempt sequencing on your app or contact your dispatcher to sequence your run on your behalf.

When should I log out of NowGo after completing my shift?

After completing your shift, wait about 10 minutes to log out of your shift to allow data to sync to the NowGo cloud. If you do not, important information such as PODs might not sync.

How much data does NowGo require on my device?

NowGo uses a minimal amount of data. On a typical day it might use between 30-100MB of data. Note that background applications may cause additional date use.

No pre-advice shown when a barcode is scanned

Make sure you have internet connectivity, and that you have enabled location services on your device. Attempt to scan the barcode again, or manually enter the address for the stop.

My stops do not update in the stops screen.

Make sure you have internet connectivity, and that you have enabled location services on your device. Pull down the stops screen to refresh.

I can't view my shift

Make sure you have internet connectivity, and that you have enabled location services on your device. Attempt to refresh the stops screen.

NowGo is slow and doesn't update my stops

Make sure you have internet connectivity, and that you have enabled location services on your device. Attempt to refresh the stops screen.

I can't scan a barcode for a stop

Make sure you have internet connectivity, and that you have enabled location services on your device. Make sure you have set the correct permissions for NowGo to access the device camera. This issue could also be related to barcode masks: check with your system admin or dispatcher for information on the barcode masks used.

Can I work through my suburbs in a different order?

Yes, you can. The sequencing might want you to take a different route, but if you want to drive in a different order, drive to the first suburb, and then sequence again. NowGo uses your new location to sequence again.

Can I do the stops in a different order than NowGo recommends?

Not usually. Follow the NowGo recommended sequence unless there is a safe way to find local efficiencies. If you think the order is slightly out you can try to sequence again to improve results. If you’d like to start in a particular suburb you can go to that suburb and then sequence in NowGo to find a new sequence to follow.

What if I can't find an address when using NowGo?

If the search bar does not find your address you can manually enter the address by clicking “? this address is not listed”. You are prompted to enter the address details manually in a set of fields.

When I try to log out, the app warns me that data syncs are pending.

Go to the Stops screen and pull down to refresh the app. On the More screen, go to SettingsView sync process. And wait for the sync process to complete. When the sync is finished, log out and back in again.

If NowGo advises that data couldn't get synced, make sure you have internet connectivity, wait a while and retry. If possible, you can also retry the next day.

If the issue persists, even after multiple retries and with best possible connection, the data in NowGo might have been corrupted or is incomplete and therefore can't be synced. To ensure recovery of all available information, tap Move data to recovery. Be aware that data from recovery logs can't easily get processed and might take several days to appear in tracking systems.

NowGo is frozen, what do I do?

If NowGo gets stuck, you might see a never-ending spinner. If this happens, make sure you have good internet connectivity and try restarting your device. You can also ask your supervisor or dispatcher to force close the app from device settings → Apps → NowGo → Force Stop. If it is still not working, contact Premonition support. If the device is stuck during a workflow completion, attempt the completion again after NowGo is restarted.
