Smart Attendance For Better Field Force Management

Field force attendance management is tricky. We’ll learn why and how to deal with those challenges in this article. 

Field Force Attendance Management Challenges 

The challenges in field force attendance management are many. These challenges are time-consuming leading to massive productivity losses. Here we explain a few of them:

• Wasteful In-Office Attendance: Marking attendance in the office forces executives to spend too much time and fuel on traveling to and from the office. It makes no sense to go out of their way to the office and go to the field on the other side of the city. 

• Faulty Remote Attendance: Executives might mark their attendance at the right time without actually being on the field. This kind of fallacy can be taxing to the company’s productivity. 

• Fooling the GPS System: Yes, GPS tracking is smart, but it is only device-regulated. So, executives can share their devices with someone else to mark fake attendance at specified locations.

• Forgetting to Mark Attendance: Sometimes executives might forget to log into the software before starting a task. This fault can lead to extra communication or even loss of pay if the problem is not resolved. 

How Field Force Management Software Helps 

You're now aware of remote attendance management problems. So, we’ll offer you solutions. Manual management is now ancient since FFM software offers the following benefits:

• Remote Attendance: Through FFM software, executives can mark attendance on the software itself. They do not have to travel unnecessary distances only to mark attendance in the office. 

• Geofence-enabled Attendance: Through this feature, executives can only mark attendance when they are on or at a stipulated distance from the field. Marking attendance from home without moving an inch is not an option anymore. 

• Geocoded Visual Attendance Verification: Executives need to reach the field, click a picture and upload on the software. The software will then read the latitude, longitude, and the time it was clicked in picture geocodes. Only when all the information matches with the requirements can the attendance be approved. 

• Attendance-Task Linking: TrackoField only allows executives to start a task after marking attendance. Otherwise, they will be on leave and not only on paper.
