Global Positioning System or better known, as GPS is a technology by which any device can be tracked, but it should have a GPS system, fitted into it. This GPS is connected to a tracking satellite through which the position of the object to be tracked is presented with a background of a real time or a schematic map. A few years ago having GPS tracking systems just to track somebody’s location involved a lot of hardware and expenses and thus GPS tracking systems were not considered to be economical at small scale. Now days the growth and transformation in field of mobile technology has brought GPS tracking systems in every hand. IamTreked has been leading a revolution in the field of mobile applications as there are a large number of mobile applications being developed which include the feature of GPS tracking systems. Each and every software development company today includes the GPS feature into almost all of the important applications that are being developed.

GPS tracking systems can be very expensive with huge hardware costs with features that you will never use – so what’s all the fuss about? Just as any manager wants to know what’s really going on in the office, mobile workforce managers want to see what’s going on out in the field. So how do we do this? This is where mobile workforce management solutions come into play enabling managers to see what’s going on with their mobile workers.

Some GPS trackers, track workers in their vehicles showing managers what route they take, however they do not allow effective communication from employees to managers and vice versa. With some SaaS (software-as-a-service) applications, employees are able to report back to their manager in real-time with the touch of a button. Employees receive an electronic version of their job card on their iPhone or Android phone and fill out all job details in the electronic form. Who would have known that going paperless would be achievable for mobile workers one day? Managers now can see where their employees are heading to and halting in their job process and can see when an employee has arrived at the job site and completed the job. With traditional GPS systems the communication channels are limited to tracking with little to no interaction with workers.

Mobility solutions tailored to business needs and have enhanced many business processes. Many companies with mobile workforces are making the change to a dispatch and scheduling software and ditching the diary and the whiteboard. There is less stuff ups with this organized way to manage your mobile workforce.

IamTreked’s mobile workforce management solutions come with all that and more. Remember effective mobility solutions pay for themselves by the increase in productivity from workers and your ability to do more jobs!
