The challenge
Indigo Paints' field teams spend the day visiting sites and dealers. The company needed to see who was working where, what each visit was, and how far people travelled, and to bring expense claims into the same place as the work.
What we built
Fieldproxy set the system up with Indigo Paints' HR team: daily check-in and check-out, site visits and team activities as tasks, live location for managers, distance travelled from check-in to check-out, and an expense module, with managers on the same mobile app as their teams.
The results
- First batch of field users trained and live 13 days after signing
- Rolled out to the wider sales force in batches from March 2024
- Expense claims brought into the same app as the field work
- Distance travelled tracked from check-in to check-out

Get DemoThe job: a field team that is always on the move
Indigo Paints' field executives spend their day out visiting sites and dealers. For the company, the questions were simple and hard to answer: who is working today, where, what did each visit cover, how far did they travel, and what did it cost.
What we built: Indigo Paints' day, in one app
Check-in and check-out
Each day starts and ends in the app, which also gives the distance travelled for the day.
Site visits and team activities
Visits and activities are tasks in the app, so each one has its own record.
Live location
Managers can see where their teams are, and location intelligence dashboards show the day's movement.
Expense claims
Claims are raised in the same app as the work they belong to.
How fast: 13 days to the first batch
The first batch of field users was trained and live 13 days after the agreement was signed. Managers joined their teams on the mobile app from the start. The rest of the sales force followed in batches, and when Indigo Paints' team wanted the app to fit the day better, Fieldproxy's team spent a day in the field with one of its executives and planned the changes from what they saw.
