Technology is essentially changing the way we do our business and why shouldn’t it? With the growth of any business that has a field force, it becomes a pressing need to have a closer eye on each activity; robust GPS tracking could be a possibility here. Handling a field force without technology is not only beyond the bounds of possibilities but unintelligent as well.
No matter how big or small your team is, managing and monitoring it, effectively, is difficult. And helping them do their job better is undoubtedly a big challenge. One of the key things about managing a field force is enabling them to do their jobs better.
Why is GPS tracking important and its challenges?
Regardless of the context of your business and operations – a core pillar of a field force is and will always be their coverage of a set of locations. These locations take many forms – in FMCG and Consumer Durable space – they’re retailers, in Pharma – they’re chemists and doctors, in BFSI – they’re customers themselves; in all of these contexts – GPS based location tracking of your field force can be a gamechanger.
GPS tracking allows you to know, firstly, that the person was essentially there where they were supposed/needed to be. Secondly, through an additional layer of timestamps – you can solve for tracking key aspects like…
- Attendance surety
- Presence Hygiene
- Facetime with the customer
- Actual & timely coverage of the beat plan
With BeatRoute, GPS based coverage by your team and tracking and monitoring it, not only gets tremendously effective, but is also further enhanced with supporting features that makes it very powerful.
BeatRoute has made offline sync a part of the everyday reality now with the much-anticipated advent of tools. Poor or even no connectivity, won’t be able to hamper the work of your ground team. This not only enables you to eradicate the chances of hearing to excuses, but also your team members will have the satisfaction that their work will be worth the effort, and won’t go unnoticed.The moment a person creates a customer or a retailer the picture is geotagged. The GPS gets stored locally on the mobile and the moment they get connectivity, it gets synced to the server and the owner can see it.
It is sure to bother, even the most subordinate member of your team, that a tracker like this might hinder their privacy. But with BeatRoute you can be sure that a lot of thought is put into the slightest of the details. Keeping that in mind our tracker is so designed that the privacy of a worker, stays completely intact but whenever an action is done on the app, his/her timestamp & GPS is captured. Thus, BeatRoute empowers your team with a digital footprint and captures it when required without risking their privacy, at all times.
