The following scenario compares the experience of a driver and an operations team, one based on an in vehicle GPS tracking solution with a paper based workflow and the other utilising the xmotion™ workforce application.
The scenario highlights the additional visibility a mobile workforce solutions provides and the removal of the need to have administrations teams process the paperwork returned by workers at the end of day or on completion of jobs.
