Staff Management App by Field Team Tracking

Staff management app for teams that sell and serve

A staff management app should answer the owner’s three daily questions: who is working, where, and on what. Field Team Tracking answers all three in one account. Each workday starts with a selfie taken live in the app, accepted within the office area drawn for that branch unless the branch allows outside punches. The branch rules set working hours, days off, the minute after which an arrival is marked late, and when a short day becomes a half day. A button records each break. For people on the road, the phone logs position only during duty hours, once the employee has agreed on a consent screen, which yields a route with stops and kilometres. For people on the phone, each call lands in the owner’s login, and leads assigned to each person sit in a pending queue. The owner reads attendance and distance in a browser report covering any branch and period, downloadable as Excel, and each day’s route on the web route view.

Staff management app: what it does not do

Search results for these words are full of payroll apps. This is not one. It records the attendance, hours, breaks and late marks that payroll needs, and leaves salary sums to your accounts software. It has no shift rota and no leave approvals. Its strength is joining attendance to the work itself. Attendance rules in detail are on the staff attendance app page, field routes on the employee location tracking app page, and the whole field picture on the employee tracking app page. How the punch itself blocks photo proxies is covered on the selfie attendance app page. Handing over customers when someone leaves is on the employee management app page, and measuring output fairly in how to track employee work. Firms whose staff mostly work outside can read the field force management app page, and branch-by-branch working-time rules are set out on the field workforce management software page.

• Scheduling. No shift rota or leave approval flow.
• Tasks. Work is assigned as leads, not general tasks.
• iPhone calls. Call logs and the dialer need Android.

Staff management app example: a security services firm in Chennai

A fictional firm, numbers only to illustrate. A security services firm in Chennai has 40 guards at client sites and 5 sales staff in the office. Attendance came in by phone calls each morning, and sales follow-up was invisible.

Guards now punch in with a selfie, and each client site is set up as a branch location. Sales staff work assigned leads, and the owner sees their calls without asking. Month end used to take two days of sorting attendance; the web report’s Excel export now takes minutes.
