Technology advancements continue to shape how we accelerate performance and make smarter business decisions every day. Location intelligence can pave the way for more efficient field operations.
In mission-critical situations involving powerful equipment, field operations can mean the difference between success and failure.
But how can location-based insights truly improve the safety, quality and productivity of your field operations?
Plan Field Operations Digitally
On-field operations require meticulous coordination between field personnel and managers back at the office. Location awareness can lead to effective resources dispatching per the location of the job site.
Field activity planning will also include determining the best route to arrive at the site on time and meet critical deadlines. Drivers can also gain visibility into road blockages and hazard-prone zones to avoid incidents and ensure safety.
Replace Paper
Eliminate obsolete paper-based workflows with field applications that sport location awareness. Feed data directly into databases and enable workers to perform at high productivity with technology-backed location-aware applications.
Collected location data alongside other data points leads to in-depth analytics leading to data-backed decision making around dispatching and rerouting workers.
Supervise On-field Personnel
Leverage easy visibility into worker locations and job status with dashboards and interactive maps. Keep a tab on ongoing tasks, locations, and communicate them to managers seamlessly.
Real-time data feeds and location tracking open gates to productive field operations and quick decision-making. Allocate field workers more efficiently and support field activities from the office.
Enable Spatially Variable Field Operations
Spatially variable field operations need data points such as spatial variability in crop and soil parameters. Such operations can be executed easily with a location-based field application that records data on-field and streamlines it into the application to support functions and analytics.
Prevent Theft on Site
It is a common wasted expense many businesses struggle with. Company vehicles and assets get stolen on the job site. Geo-aware applications ensure that assets stay within a confined geofence.
Alerts and notifications issued when an asset moves out of the safety zone see to it that critical and expensive assets are safe.
Avoid Resource Misuse
Oversee drivers and on-field personnel to prevent misuse of resources such as fuel, time and effort. A location intelligence-powered app will issue automatic alerts to your workers if they enter an incorrect location.
Similarly, managers can keep a tab on workers and issue alerts when they are seen whiling away. This leads to a compounded gain in productivity and efficiency and prevents resource loss.
Facilitate Communication
Having the ability to track your worker fleet can mean better communication with the customer. Send out alerts to the customer when the fleet reaches a job site. Alert the customer about reroutes. And continually update the customer about shipment status.
Clear and concise communication goes a long way in eliminating hassles and providing a smooth customer experience.
Overall Customer Satisfaction
All of the above benefits of installing a location intelligent app within your business for field operations can lead to one huge consequence- customer satisfaction.
Increased productivity, efficiency, quality and timely delivery of service go toward ensuring that the customer is satisfied with the overall experience. As customer expectations evolve, high productivity and timely service become essentials instead of nice-to-haves.
