Employee Tracking

If we apply the same concept to the field sales team, it can help the business with insights that could change the way a sales review would happen. A manager will have all the data needed to evaluate sales performance. 

Here are some of the benefits for the company:

• Task scheduling

If you know where your employees are, you can allocate a new task middle of the day, based on their real-time location data. Adding up new task will reduce employees travel, saves time and cost.

• Verifying the claims

Employers will save money and employees will get their claims on time. Lystloc stores historical data along with distance traveled by the sales rep. It makes the job easier for the sales manager when the sales rep applies for reimbursements.

• Catch hold of Time Theft

On average a sales employee who travels every day is losing some hours doing nothing. As per our analysis, a single field employee loses about 3.5 to 4 hours per week. Live tracking devices will help the management to keep an eye on these time-theft activities. This will help in better planning for the subsequent weeks.

• Track Customer meetings

Your customer is King. The business should know if the employee is meeting the customer as per the schedule. On time, every time.
