**Astra** is a secure field force management application designed exclusively for authorized Sales Officers (SOs) and Area Sales Managers (ASMs). The app simplifies daily field operations by combining geo-validated doctor visits, order booking, attendance, leave management, and team monitoring into a single mobile platform.
### Key Features
Geo-Validated Order Booking
Astra validates the Sales Officer's location while creating a Physical Order Booking (POB). If the current location does not match the registered doctor outlet location, users can update the outlet location (subject to permissions) or proceed with a Tele POB when a physical visit is not feasible.
Physical & Tele POB
Create Physical Order Bookings from verified doctor locations or use Tele POB for remote order booking when location verification cannot be completed.
Team Management
Authorized managers can monitor team attendance, location update requests, and field activities to improve operational visibility and coordination.
**Selfie-Based Attendance**
Mark attendance securely using selfie verification. Managers can monitor attendance records for their reporting teams, improving accountability and compliance.
**Leave Management**
Apply for leave, view leave history, track request status, and manage approvals through a streamlined workflow designed for both Sales Officers and Area Sales Managers.
