HOW TO OPTIMIZE YOUR BUSINESS WITH FIELD FORCE TRACKING

Field force tracking is a very useful productivity tool which helps you manage the field force of your business very efficiently. The technology is essential for various industries, some of which are: transportation, logistics, shipping etc. to monitor their ground-level teams in a very effective manner. Companies requiring remote fleet management can take the advantage of a robust field force management system to respond to situations in a faster and more efficient manner.

This article illustrates the importance of field force tracking for your business and its use in making smart, informed decisions. This can be implemented on a managerial level to track location or can be integrated in a web or mobile application to facilitate communication between two or more teams. Let’s have a look at how Field Force Tracking helps:

1) Efficient route planning
Using field force tracking, you can see real-time traffic details on the route your fleet has chosen. This helps in deciding the shortest possible route between source and destination. With in-app communication with the driver, you can suggest the best paths to take. By saving on fuel and time, you ensure better quality of service to your customers while keeping cost to a minimum.

2) Track your vehicles
Knowing the real-time location of your vehicles can be a big benefit to your business especially if it involves transportation of goods over long distances. With vehicle tracking, you can ensure the safety of your driver, vehicle and the goods carried by it. In case of any emergency, quick action can be taken to recover the vehicle and supplies. As an added advantage, field force tracking will help you recover vehicles in case of theft or car-jacking.

3) Location based notifications
By enabling location services in your logistics/transportation business, your company can display reminders, points of interest, deals, offers etc. based on the current location of your customers. Location based notifications work on pre-defined instructions which are triggered as soon as the user enters a particular geographic area. Reverse alerts can also be sent to managers, notifying them about the location of fleets as they enter particular areas.

4) Coordinate among mobile team – on ground, sales, alerts etc.
Another way to implement Field Force Tracking is for the management of your ground-level team. Let your teams synchronize amongst themselves to work efficiently. Giving teams a platform to communicate on opens up new opportunities to collaborate.

TAKE BETTER DECISIONS IN AN EMERGENCY USING GOOGLE MAPS

Let us look at how emergency response teams can optimize management of disasters using Google Maps. On a familiar Google Maps platform, layers of customized data are placed to assist the population in times of crisis. Here’s how it works:
  • Real-time update of emergency imagery. For example in case of floods/tsunamis, it can be used to mark areas completely inaccessible.
  • Evacuation area can be located on the map to help in the quick recovery of people stuck in water or rubble. This is used for team members to co-ordinate the process amongst themselves.
  • If shelters have been planned in advance, they can be marked on the map, along with instantaneous update of its occupancy. Recovery vehicles can analyze the closest shelters with ample capacity to house the survivors.
  • The recovery buses can be integrated with the application to show their real-time location and capacity on the map. Response teams can communicate with them to ask for pickup and delivery of affected people.
  • Since an entire area is affected by the crisis, not all routes will be safe. Users of the application can mark a road to be dangerous and accordingly recovery buses will reroute to their destinations.

Emergency management using Google Maps has the following key features:
  • Helps in quickly making smart decisions. Time is not wasted in reporting and analysis.
  • Real time tracking of vehicles and shelters for co-ordination among team members.
  • Optimization of resources to be allocated for relief. Based on density and proximity of shelters.

Lepton Software provides Google Maps API for Emergency Management. Safety and security of people is of utmost importance to governments and this is one of the few ways to increase the effectiveness of the recovery process to save maximum number of lives.

WHAT DO GOOGLE MAPS OFFER FOR YOUR LOGISTICS BUSINESS?

Over the years, Google has become the most prominent and accurate platform for Maps. Google has standardized the map environment, giving a familiar and easy to use interface to its users. It has even started customizing the map interface to suit your industry’s requirements. From retail to telecom, Google has found a way to let companies unleash the power of location based services (including analytics) to help them run smoother operations across multiple domains.
When we talk of leading industries today, the name logistics pops up. Very little has been done to enhance this sector and companies are looking for efficient and effective changes to their daily processes to minimize wastage and in turn increase revenue. Let us analyze the various ways in which Google Maps can be a key factor in bringing a revolution in this stale sector.

Telematics
One of the major concerns in the logistics industry is to hold transporters accountable for their services. While there are many ways to ensure an efficient journey, nothing compares to a real-time and accurate tracking of vehicles. Telematics could be defined as the combination of telecommunication over a long distance, in this case with a moving vehicle. This is achieved by a ground-breaking integration of location and communication over a map-based platform. Knowing the real-time location of a vehicle along with communication gives fleet managers a virtual control of the shipments ensuring an efficient delivery system.

Traffic Management
Google not only provides a map-based platform, but is also a very renowned source of traffic information. Customer satisfaction in the logistics business is simply based on safe and on-time delivery of products to clients. Traffic management using Google Maps will help in taking pre-emptive decisions based on traffic information. It will show areas of high traffic density on the chosen route, for making smart decision for rerouting consignments.

Safety and Security
Anyone in the logistics industry would agree that while products are being shipped over distant destinations, safety of the driver, vehicle and shipment is of utmost priority. In case of theft or carjacking, having a real-time track of vehicles will prove to be most useful and will speed up the recovery process. In case of accidents or other emergency, a map based real-time system guarantees that help is sent at the right location quickly.

Google Maps Partner
Integration of location-based services, like Google Maps for Logistics, in your web or mobile application may sound like an easy task for your tech team but it is far from the truth. A lot can go wrong if you don’t do it right.
