January 23, 2004—Aligo Inc., a provider of mobile software solutions, recently launched WorkTrack, a hosted solution for managing the time and productivity of mobile employees. WorkTrack utilizes Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to offer companies real-time centralized view and control of their distributed workforces, resulting in cost savings, increased worker productivity, and improved job log accuracy through an easy-to-use attendance and job reporting system.
WorkTrack is targeted specifically toward industries in which the employees work outside the office—and according to the Bureau of Labor statistics, there are roughly 16 million US workers in this sector. Aligo will target other industries such as installation, landscaping, security companies, delivery companies, and construction and building trades. As a hosted service, WorkTrack eliminates the need for companies to buy and manage additional hardware or software while delivering the cost savings with only a GPS-enabled mobile phone. WorkTrack is priced at $15.00 per user monthly.
Key features of WorkTrack include:
- Intuitive, one-button commands that allows field service workers to report job start, break, and finish times—a process that requires very little training. In addition, WorkTrack’s advanced synchronization technology ensures that data is always accessible, even if field employees are in locations with intermittent wireless connectivity.
- A “dashboard” view that centralizes employee and job information, giving management the ability to easily see the location and job status of their workers. Administrators can take an “at-a-glance” view of the entire workforce, or can drill down to individual worker location and job completion status. In addition, the console provides the ability to add, remove, or reschedule jobs.
- Instant time, job, and location reports that easily format to existing management and reporting programs.
