Leading Fortune 500 Global Property Maintenance Company Implements myGeoTracking Mobile Workforce Management Solution to Enhance Operations & Comply with Contract Needs
Sunnyvale, CA (PRWEB) May 05, 2016 -- Abaqus, Inc., a provider of the first-of-a-kind myGeoTracking hosted mobile workforce management and transportation logistics platform, today announced that a Fortune 500 leader in professional real estate services and investment management services, has transformed its mobile workforce management practices at industrial sites through a highly customized implementation of the myGeoTracking service.
“One of the challenges the company faced was complying with very particular SLAs associated with maintenance contracts at some of the large factories and industrial facilities they manage,” said Shailendra Jain, CEO of Abaqus, Inc. “Some of these require detailed proof of service – employee attendance, rich data capture to record service performed, and strong privacy controls for the employees.”
The company launched a determined search for a service that could improve its operations and help it meet its SLA requirements, and ultimately chose the myGeoTracking solution. The highly customized implementation combines a range of automated and manual data collection for service inspection and maintenance staff including GPS tracking, geo-fencing, QR code scans at specific points of interest, note capture & GPS-tagged photos. This data collection was then tied to a complex “If This Then That” (IFTTT) workflow rules to provide management with job status and exception alerts.
The Customer has said, “We’re absolutely impressed with how myGeoTracking performs within the 4-walls environment of the facilities we manage. We now have the ability to monitor and collect employee attendance, inspection and process data throughout the day, across all three shifts – it’s is exactly what we needed to address the management of a very mobile workforce. The myGeoTracking team has been great to work with and have gone above and beyond to assist us wherever possible.”
The myGeoTracking solution has helped the company achieve its contract compliance goals, control payroll and operating costs, and boost employee productivity, accountability and safety. Read the case study here.
