Location Tracking

The Directed App uses location tracking to provide core functionality, including route management, task verification, installation validation, pickup validation, and operational reporting.

SMS messages are intended for internal operational use only and are not sent to customers or the general public as part of this program.

Message frequency varies based on user role, assigned work activity, and system notifications. Message and data rates may apply.

By providing a mobile phone number during onboarding, account setup, employment, contractor registration, or internal system setup, users consent to receive SMS/text messages related to internal operational use of the Directed App.

Users may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP. After replying STOP, the user may no longer receive SMS notifications related to internal task and workflow updates. Users may reply HELP for help or contact Artisan Direct at sales@artisandirect.us or +1 704-662-2417.
