Managing a team that is always on the move is not easy. When your staff work across different locations you usually depend on phone calls, WhatsApp messages, manual check-ins, or updates from supervisors just to know where your team members are located.
That can become a real problem when a field employee is working alone, visiting a customer/client, or inspecting the project site. This is exactly where real-time staff location tracking can make a practical difference.
A connected wearable like WachMe can help you stay connected with your on-the-ground team while also supporting communication, safety and workforce coordination.
Knowing where your field representatives are is not always simply about keeping an eye on them. In many workplaces, location information is directly connected to safety and operations.
You need to consider a maintenance employee visiting different sites or a hospital worker moving between departments. A security professional patrolling a larger facility or a field service engineer travelling between customer locations.
In these situations, you need to answer 3 questions: where is the employee? Are they on unexpected routes? Can they be contacted quickly? Traditional phones can help with communication but they are not always the most convenient solution. Where employees might be busy working in areas where phones are not practical or simply unable to respond immediately.
WachMe uses location tracking technologies including GPS network positioning and Wi-Fi-based location capabilities. Its nearby functionality can also support indoor positioning in places where GPS might not provide the same level of visibility. For your business, this can be useful when employees move between outdoor and indoor environments. A manager can keep track of employee movement and coordinate teams more effectively.
Every organisation has a different workforce. A field service company might need to know when technicians reach customer locations. A hospital might need better coordination between staff members across a large facility and a hotel might need visibility across multiple floors.
WachMe wearable technology location and route monitoring capabilities can support these different situations. WachMe wearable solutions are capable of being customised for institutions or organisations with specific operational requirements.
Location tracking is really useful but it becomes much more powerful when combined with communication. WachMe supports 2 way calling and video calling along with voice messages and quick call functions.
Just think about a supervisor who needs to contact field employees who are currently working at a site. Instead of repeatedly calling a personal phone, you can communicate through the wearable. It is especially useful for teams that are constantly moving or working with their hands.
Staff safety becomes especially important when employees work in remote or isolated places, especially solo. Your field team member might face an accident, security concern or another unexpected situation. WachMe wearable also includes an SOS feature. On supported models, pressing the power button activates SOS with emergency tests and calls sent to configured contacts.
The device can also use SMS as a backup communication method in poor network conditions. This gives your on-ground staff a direct way to ask for help. If you are operating in environments where response time matters, having an emergency communication option available on the wrist can be valuable.
Some employees might not be able to manually trigger an alert after an ac WachMe safety features include fall detection on supported models. The device can identify certain fall events and provide alerts helping you build a more responsive safety process.
That makes a wearable particularly useful for:
