Not every worker is based on site and this presents a whole raft of management challenges. When staff come into an office or a warehouse for example it's easy to manage and monitor what they are doing. Looking after a team of sales reps or van drivers is a different story. Mobile working is totally different. Managers aren't out in the field with them and they have limited data and visibility as to what is going on. They need somehow to build up a picture of the things that they doing well and what if anything needs to be corrected and made more efficient. When it comes to mobile working time is of the essence, so too cost. If drivers are taking routes that are too long customers will suffer. If sales reps are using too much fuel then fleet costs rise. Managers in all industries are under pressure to save money right now and by looking at this way of working in more detail and making a few simple changes it's possible to cut costs and improve efficiency. The start point is tracking the vehicles that staff like this use. Vehicle tracking systems help management build up a picture of what exactly is going on. How many miles are being done, which routes are being used and an idea of fuel consumption. The data that such systems generate can be extremely enlightening and allow managers to suggest different ways of working that are more time and fuel efficient. Vehicle tracking systems are an investment that can pay off to a spectacular extent. It's a simple way to get a better handle on what exactly is going on out there in the field without being overly intrusive. With a better idea of routes, plans, journeys and driving behaviour managers can implement better ways of working that iron out any issues.
