Among the highest costs for businesses today is paying for employees.

Thankfully, with today’s technology, companies have access to a digital footprint of information to more efficiently and effectively calculate worker time and attendance.

For those businesses with multiple locations and mobile or remote employees, geotracking is a fast-growing trend for data collection. Using Global Positioning Systems (GPS), companies are able to supervise their off-site workers through an app on their electronic devices.

IPS offers mobile time-tracking software designed to monitor employees when they are on the job and using the app. Some companies also use mobile time tracking software for safety reasons. Many employees today work off-site and could be involved in accidents or on a job site bracing for bad weather. This option is especially attractive to industries such as health care, construction, landscaping and those who work in the service sector.

How can your company benefit from geotracking?
