The Power of Location Tracking in Managing Field Sales Teams

The Power of Location Tracking in Managing Field Sales Teams

Managing a field sales team can be tough, especially when your agents are always on the move. But with real-time GPS location tracking, you can track every move your agents make, ensuring they are productive, efficient, and on the right path.

Here’s how real-time location tracking benefits businesses:

  • Monitors Route Efficiency: Location tracking helps you verify if agents are taking the most efficient routes. It ensures that no time is wasted by taking detours or roaming around unnecessarily.
  • Improves Task Assignment: Managers can make quick decisions based on real-time location data. For instance, if a last-minute client request comes in, the nearest available agent can be assigned to attend it immediately, reducing delays.
  • Boosts Productivity: Knowing their movements are tracked, field agents tend to be more accountable and stick to their planned schedules. This helps in improving overall team productivity.
  • Enhances Planning: Managers can analyze route history and time spent at each location, allowing them to design more efficient journey plans in the future.
  • Reduces Costs: By ensuring agents follow the best routes, real-time tracking minimizes fuel costs and helps complete more visits in less time, driving higher productivity.

Other Key Features of BreezeFSM

In addition to real-time location tracking, BreezeFSM offers several other essential features that make managing field sales teams easier:

  • Attendance Management: Field agents can mark their attendance only within a specific area using geo-fencing. This ensures that they are at the assigned location when clocking in and out, improving accountability.
  • Reimbursement Management: BreezeFSM helps calculate accurate travel reimbursements by tracking routes taken by agents. This eliminates guesswork and prevents overestimated claims, ensuring fair and transparent reimbursement processes.
  • Offline Tracking: One of the standout features of BreezeFSM is its offline tracking capability. Even when agents are in areas with poor or no connectivity, the app continues to track their movements. Once they regain signal, the data is synced back to the system, ensuring continuous monitoring.
