You must be wishing to have a real-time app like staff tracking system that can help you to determine the businesses served by your salesperson or field staff without creating any manual errors. To simplify all these, we are introducing an Odoo-based app- Trackoo, a smart tracking system to satiate your entire business needs. Read further to know more about Trackoo app-

 What is Trackoo app?

    A smart tracking app built on OpenERP/Odoo platform

    Offers tour planner feature that pre-plans the schedule of a salesperson for the areas to be served.   By default, monthly tour plan is made from admin/business owner's side

    Ensures salesperson management and allocation based on its zone, state, city and area

    Offers real-time GPS tracking feature for business/client/site location registration and salesperson OR field staff reporting

    Helps to plan and optimize the trip

    Calculates deviation in actual location and reported location

    Offers real-time reporting with map view

How Trackoo app works?

1. Salesperson / Field staff registration and work allocation

    Define Monthly tour plan

    Allocation is done on the basis of salesperson / field staff location. Key considerations for this are- zone, state, city and area

    Complete list of client is auto-filtered in the system and salesperson / field staff is allocated to those clients

    Staff's location and reporting status is recorded real-time on Google map

    You can prepare monthly marketing strategy based on the salesperson's tour plan

2. Real-time reporting by salesperson / field staff on each client visit

    Reporting status is recorder by field staff after login into app

    In case of meeting to new client, field staff registers the name and real-time location of client into system and enters reporting status

    Real-time reporting is also done for total transactions made by field staff on each client visit

    In case of failed visit, salesperson / field staff checks “Failed Visit” check box and its location is also tracked in the system

    Reporting is done only through mobile app

3. Real-time client registration

    List of all clients is registered by admin itself

    New client-registration can be done by salesperson / field staff through mobile app

    Location of client is tracked real-time in the app through GPS

4. Activity report generation

    Salesperson / field staff activity report is generated with its corresponding location tracking

    In order to confirm the activity done, distance difference is also recorded in the system

    False reporting records are auto highlighted if the reporting is done out of deviation range. This means, salesperson hasn't visited client's place and did false entry from some other place other than client's location. This action is termed as “Deviated by Location”.

    Flexible deviation range till 100 mts. is acceptable

Thus, this is how Trackoo app- a real-time salesperson tracking software works by recording each and every action instantly at real-time, whether it is client's registration or location deviation by salesperson. Want to know benefits of this app? Read further-
