New Rostering Service

Mobile-e-Solutions Ltd Adds New Rostering Service to Portfolio

Ready for work | Mobile-e-SolutionsMobile-e-Solutions Ltd has teamed up with Chorley-based technology firm, HT Projects, to bring a new fully integrated time-planning and rostering system to new and existing clients.

This innovative new product allows businesses to fully plan staff schedules  and ‘whereabouts’ from a central system before sending the information out to staff in the field via SMS, E-mail or Mobile Internet. This completely trackable and paperless system uses the existing Mobile-e-Solutions mobile phone technology ( SoloAdvance) which tracks the location of staff members for general management and lone worker protection purposes, and feeds back a report to the central payroll reporting system via an e-time plan meaning the need to manually fill out time sheets is eliminated.  This also ensures 100% accuracy when recording how much time the individual worked on the project in hand.

SoloAdvance can now utilise GPS

GPS now available with SoloAdvance

With many of the newst mobile phones with NFC also providing GPS capability, SoloAdvance can now utilise the GPS capabilities to provide additional services for our users.

GPS locations can be used to capture informationLocations can be anywhere.

Previously locations had to be identified by RFID tags,  QR codes or bar codes. With more and more NFC enabled smart phones coming with GPS technology, a location can be defined as a defined latitude and longitude (i.e. GPS location).

Instead of the user arriving at a location and touching a tag to prove where he/she is, they can now simply get within (say) 10metres and check in with SoloAdvance and the system will then activate the menu appropriate to that location.

In this way users are able to set up locations anywhere for temprary or permanent information to be recorded.

Redundancy – what’s at stake if you get it wrong!

Redundancy is a traumatic experience for anyone, but unfortunately, in the current economic climate, more and more people are being subjected to it and worryingly, some people are being wrongly made redundant and are losing their jobs unfairly based on false information.

One industry, in particular, at risk of the latter, is that of remote workers, where businesses often rely on their staff to attend and fulfil appointments under their own steam. Mobile-e-Solutions provides a ‘proof of attendance’ solution, which allows businesses to keep track of its remote employees’ movements  to ensure that they are attending appointments on time and carrying out the required jobs properly.

Failure to have an accurate recording of a worker’s movements could result in customers claiming that workers haven’t turned up at the required appointment time or completed the work as instructed. This ultimately could result in redundancy or dismissal for the worker if the customer claims they haven’t fulfilled their obligation.

In some cases, however, customers may make false accusations to avoid paying for services rendered and therefore the Mobile-e-Solutions “SoloAdvance” package protects not only the individual workers but also the business for which they work by providing an accurate, real time, information service to verify the worker’s whereabouts.

Mobile-e-Solutions’ Managing Director, Mike Lister, explained the rationale behind the solution : “Our aim with the proof of attendance package is to protect individuals and the companies they work for. With real time data capture, there is no ambiguity about the worker’s whereabouts or the status of any job. This is not only reassuring for our customers but also a key business tool to ensure they are protected with their customers.”

He added: “The technology is so simple that employees can go about their work in a much more efficient and independent way with the reassurance that their progress is being tracked and there is real evidence of their movements should anyone make false claims against them.”

This new technology is helping businesses and organisations across the country to reduce the number of unfair dismissals as it eliminates the uncertainty of a where a worker is and what he is doing.

For more information on Mobile-e-Solutions and how its mobile phone and ‘proof of’ technology can work for you and your business, please call Mike Lister on 0845 643 4898.
