I am using Survey123 that generates a feature point at a default location. Every new point contains the name of the Road and from to information for the line segment. I am wondering whether there is a way to auto move that point right on top of the line segment using the Road Name information.
Is there any functionality in FME that would allow me to move those points?
You can use the AnchoredSnapper with the roads as anchor and the points as candidates. You do need to set a distance tolerance (if the point is further away than that distance it won't get snapped to the line) and you can use the road name attribute (provided it is called the same in both datasets) to group by, so you can make sure the points snap to the correct roads.

Thank you, will give this a try.
