Work location control. Where are your mobile employees?

Work location monitoring can be a convenient tool for tracking productivity and motivation. This module will be especially relevant for companies with field work. Today, we'll tell you how Shifton's online service will help you manage client visits and presence at workplaces.

Why do you need work location control?

Work location control is crucial for companies whose specialists spend all day in the field. These include security agencies, field masters in the B2C sector, sales agents and merchandisers, and delivery service couriers. Most often, these employees work solo and visit several sites during the day. Phone calls and reports in this situation don't always provide reliable information, as there's always the risk of dodgy practices. But Shifton has a solution - the new module "Work Location Control". Our online service allows you to automate work location monitoring, even if you manage a large team of field workers. Tracking is done using the Shifton mobile app with a GPS tracker. The app is installed on your smartphone and tablet, and the company manager or CEO can track the presence of employees at the site from both a computer and a smartphone.

How does it work?

Our new work location control module operates in conjunction with the Tasks module and is linked to the shift schedule. When a task is assigned, the manager specifies the address where the task is to be carried out. Once the employee arrives at the location, the application records it, and the worker can complete the task. If the worker is elsewhere when the task is marked as done, they can't check it off as completed. An additional benefit of the Work Location Control module is a significant boost in productivity. Since employees are aware of the control, they can't report to work when they're at home or check in on-site for their mate. Want to know more? Contact Shifton tech support and stay updated!
