A manager's evening used to be a second job. Twenty people in the field, twenty versions of the day, and a phone that does not stop. Some reports are a thumb-typed line. Some are a paper sheet that will be copied on Saturday. Some never arrive, and the only way to know is to call the person and ask them to say it all again.
PeopleG is the other way around. The person who made the visits calls once, as described in a field report by phone. The manager reads. They do not collect the day one conversation at a time, and they do not file a field report themselves.
Tonight, not next Saturday
Arun covers a branch of field people and the managers under him. The name is an example. The screen is not. Through the day, Today shows three things for that branch:
- Who has filed, and who has not.
- The visits that were actually said: who was met, and what was discussed or sold.
- The flags that come from something in the report. A missing detail. A problem the person mentioned. A sample line that does not match. More than 12 packs of one drug for one doctor in a year.
He can open one person and read that day's report. A visit that was not said is not added later to make the page look full. Empty stays empty. That is the difference between a record and a story someone cleaned up.
The same page is there at 4 pm, when half the branch has called, and at 9 pm, when the rest should have. He does not wait for a weekly sheet to learn that three people have not filed, or that the same stock problem showed up in two towns.
The branch, not the whole company
Arun sees the people in his branch: the field people he covers, and the managers under him, with their people. He does not see another company's day, and he does not need a login for each person. One screen is the branch.
A name typed into a chat is not proof of who is asking. On the dashboard, the signed-in person is the manager. They can ask about their own branch. They cannot pull another team's reports by typing a name.
An owner or an admin sees further, because that is their job. A manager's job is the branch in front of them.
What a flag is
A flag is not a guess. PeopleG raises one only from something in the report. If nobody said there was a problem, there is no invented problem to make the evening look busy.
For a pharma team, the sample warning is a count: packs of one drug, for one doctor, in a year, past 12. It is there so the company can see its own record. It is not legal advice, and it does not replace the company's own check. Keeping free samples on the record is that record in full.
For everyone else, a flag is the thing the person said was wrong, or a detail the template treats as missing. The manager still decides what to do. The screen does not send them a plan they did not ask for.
The evening note
The company chooses the time of the evening note. It is not fixed at 9 pm. A team that finishes at 7 can read it at 7. A team that is still in the field at 9 can set a later time.
The note is short on purpose: who filed, the flags, and a way back to Today. It is not a second copy of every visit. The visits stay on the report, where a manager can open them.
WhatsApp is not connected yet, so that note is not sent to a phone today. Until it is, the manager reads Today. The shape of the note is the same either way. The time remains the company's setting.
What a manager does not do
- They do not file the field report. The person who made the visits calls. A manager who wants a visit written still needs that person to say it.
- They do not retype twenty chats into one sheet before they can see the day.
- They do not invent a doctor, a product, or a quantity to close a blank. A blank is the truth of that call.
- They do not manage another company's people, or a branch that is not theirs.
Adding a person, turning one off, and reading the branch are the manager's tools. The call is the field person's. Why there is no app is why that split matters on a bad network. Field reporting in India is why the old evening, of late notes and half-filled lines, does not scale past a handful of people.
Questions people ask
Can a manager see the day before everyone has called? Yes. Today updates as each person files. Who has not called is visible on purpose, so the follow-up happens the same day.
What if a report looks thin? Open it. If a visit was not said, it will not be there. Ask the person to call again. A later call the same day adds to the same report, and the latest clear answer wins.
Does the manager get a phone call from PeopleG? No. PeopleG does not dial the field team, and it does not dial the manager to read the report out. The manager opens Today.
Where is this stored? Reports are stored in India, on servers in Mumbai. The security page is the detail. Setup for the team and the call is on how it works.
