Project Overview

Ontrek partnered with Epistic Technologies to create an employee tracking app for sales and service teams working outside the office. The goal was to ensure location visibility, attendance accuracy, and task updates from the field.

The solution was designed for sales tracking, route history, visit logs, and lead management—making it easier for supervisors to stay informed and for employees to complete tasks on time.

Key Project Objectives :

  • Enable live location tracking of field employees
  • Replace paper-based check-ins with GPS-tagged attendance
  • Record visit updates and customer interactions from the field
  • Manage leads, follow-ups, and task assignments in one place
  • Give supervisors access to real-time performance reports

Challenges Faced by the Client

Limited Visibility of Field Teams

Managers had no way to view where field employees were  leading to poor coordination and unnecessary delays.

Unverified Attendance

Manual attendance entries led to timesheet issues, making payroll management time-consuming and error-prone.

Delayed Customer Updates

Field agents couldn’t easily update visit outcomes, often causing missed follow-ups or unclear customer status.

Lead Follow-Up Gaps

Without a structured system, many sales leads were lost or followed up late, reducing the chances of conversion.

High Operational Costs

Employees often took long or unnecessary travel routes, which increased fuel usage and wasted productive time.

Lack of Reports and Insights

Supervisors couldn’t access daily reports or summaries to understand individual or team performance effectively.
