Electronic monitoring service keeps track of merchandising teams
1 February 2012 – Panztel are targeting contract sales and merchandising companies with their eziTracker electronic monitoring service. This follows the success of eziTracker in Australia and New Zealand where it supports leading brands such as Coca Cola and Pepsi. In the UK eziTracker is more widely known for its use by cleaning companies, homecare service providers, facilities management companies and other organisations that employ staff who work on their own at remote locations.
Commenting on this new direction for Panztel, Managing Director Jonathan Hudson commented, “We are a market leader in areas like cleaning and homecare services where our customers employ large numbers of remote staff. The key issue they face is the need to provide electronic proof of service provision to their own clients. Companies that provide outsourced sales and merchandising teams have exactly the same need – to keep track of the whereabouts of their remote staff and confirm to their clients that site visits have been completed as agreed or scheduled.
“Once at a store, field sales or merchandising staff simply have to dial a free-phone telephone number using a fixed line phone and key in their unique PIN and eziTracker automatically captures the employee ID, site ID and attendance hours. Data can be accessed online by authorised managers in real time, at any hour, every day of the year. By alerting supervisors to staff ‘no shows’ eziTracker enables management to respond immediately to any breakdown in service.
“eziTracker monitoring not only enables automated matching and verification but also removes the need for manual processing of timesheets. This can mean a massive reduction in the administrative burden of paper time sheets and result in major savings in payroll processing”.
Hudson concludes, “eziTracker avoids service breakdown, increases accountability, reduces administration, eliminates fraud, enhances communication and improves health and safety. We are looking forward to having positive dialogues with field sales and merchandising specialists that we believe will benefit from these and the many other recognised benefits of eziTracker”.
