Enterprise mobility apps have over the past few years effectively changed the enterprise IT landscape and have also improved the personnel productivity for firms. Adding Gps Tracking functionality to the Field Services Mobility applications would help provide real time insight about the locations being serviced by the field workers. Once we have the GPS data and know where the mobile app is being used frequently, the routes can efficiently computed and customer requests can be serviced more effectively.

Firms have started to integrate GPS into mobile applications with greater functionalities hence providing benefits to the enterprise as follows:
Ø Theft Recovery & Liability Minimization: Adding GPS functionality to the mobile applications helps reduce non work related stops, track and locate stolen or lost company assets and assist police in recovery of the same.

Ø Increased Security: With the help of GPS enabled apps firms can receive automated alerts whenever workers violate safety policies or break beyond the safe boundaries of the firm’s assigned territories. Workers can also receive immediate help if they are stranded in trouble since the GPS app can locate them exactly.

Ø Improved Customer Service: This also helps responding to customer requests and queries instantly and re-routing mobile workers to the relevant job sites and hence bring more efficiency in the entire chain.

Ø Reduced Costs: GPS tracking helps improve usage of company assets, avoid excessive idling and makes sure that the company personnel stick to the pre-determined routes. Also once the workers are aware that they are being monitored they tend to stick to the agreed guidelines.

Ø Increased Productivity: GPS tracking also help improve productivity since they rectify wrong worker routes to more efficient routes, workers follow guidelines more strongly and reports can be generated based on driving activity of the vehicles.
