South African Field Agents
Tested and trusted field reporting.
When you have field agents visiting micromerchants across South Africa, knowing whether the work is being done correctly and on time is always top of mind. Replacing manual field reporting with a fully digital, GPS-verified operation turns guesswork into certainty.
Traditional field reporting runs on trust and delayed paperwork, but when you’re dealing with a remote workforce operating across South Africa, this leaves you completely exposed.
Our digital app features:
- GPS location verification
- Date and time stamps
- Digital check-ins per outlet
Solution provided by the Three by Three app
GPS location verification
Using built-in location tracking, the Three by Three remote workforce app allows field agents to log every store visit. Each visit creates verifiable evidence that the agent had physically been on-site.
Result: The system records thousands of visits, giving management a live view of rollout progress across the country.
Proof of work
Field reps can upload photographs during visits. Each image is automatically date- and location-stamped, and provides visual proof of equipment condition, confirmation of correct placements, and ongoing asset monitoring.
Result: Sporadic manual audits are replaced with continuous, scalable oversight.
Monitoring remote workers in the field becomes a fully digitised, transparent, and measurable operation with the Three by Three field reporting app.

Field agent app FAQs
What is the best field reporting app in South Africa?
The right field reporting app for South Africa needs to work in low-connectivity environments, run on older devices and be reverse billed so data costs don’t fall on your field reps. The Three by Three app was built with all of that in mind. It gives operations managers a real-time view of what their field reps are doing, where they are and whether the work was done correctly, without relying on delayed paperwork or taking agents at their word.
Does the Three by Three field reporting app work on Android?
Yes. Android holds over 83% of the mobile operating system market in South Africa, so it made sense to build the Three by Three field reporting app for it. The app also runs on older Android devices, which matters when your field reps are working across informal retail environments where the latest smartphone is not standard issue.
How do I choose a reliable field reporting app?
For South African field operations, start with the basics: does it work in low-connectivity environments, does it run on older devices, and is it reverse billed so data costs don’t fall on your agents? From there, look for GPS-verified visit logging, built-in training with completion tracking, photo capture with automatic timestamps, and real-time issue logging. If it can’t do all of that in a South African environment, it is not built for your operation[TE2.1]. The Three by Three field reporting app ticks all these boxes.
