Field Staff Tracking in UAE
Business owners who employ field staff are well aware of the challenges. When the staff leaves the office and stays out of sight, finding them can be challenging.
Even more problematic is finding out whether they are even working on the task, their location, and if they have reached the customer site.
Field Staff managers obviously want to keep updated which tasks have been completed and whether the workers need any help from the office itself.
The biggest concern is making sure these employees are taking their job seriously, and not wasting this time, which is where field staff tracking in UAE comes in. In this case, you need GPS employee tracking system.
Employee Tracking Solutions
Employee tracking solutions do not have to be limited to those working in the field, rather, GPS employee tracking can also be used to keep track of those within the premises, especially when the building has multiple floors, or is based on a complex.
It may also provide a centralized system when a supervisor wants to keep records of the location of company employees in different branches across the city.

How to choose the right Field staff tracking app for your Company?
Field staff tracking using GPS technology makes your outdoor staff visible at all times. By knowing where they are and their task status at any point of time enables the company to optimize their productivity at the same time the employees feel happier as their performance is continuously monitored and their rewards are based on measured KPI. The biggest challenge is on convincing the staff of the benefits. The word “GPS” immediately rings a “fear bell” in their belly causing a various degree of resistance ranging from a protest to open revolt. We have had companies who have asked us to remove GPS Fleet tracking units totally from their fleet due to an open revolt. The biggest reason for such non-cooperation is due to their ignorance of the benefits of GPS monitoring system.
Informap Director, Mr. Sahib shares his insights on the benefits of Field staff tracking system to help convince your staff and educate them before you implement the system
