GPS Tool that Tracks Your Employee

A local integrated security systems company called Xtend Services Sdn Bhd has developed a portable GPS (Global Positioning System) system that can track their employee whereabouts and positioning. The device also comes with the capability to act as an emergency mobile phone via a two-way link.

Xtend Services is a member of Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) group.

Called Never Alone, the tool gives the employer access to key information on their mobile workers such time spent on traveling, the exact location, rest time and so on that ultimately convert to the measurement of productivity. The mobile workers can be drivers, support personnel and other field staff who are often traveling and are tasked to carry out duties outside of the office.

The tracker captures the worker’s information (location) via satellite and is sent through SMS via an around-the-clock operation center. Apart from productivity, employers can also gain other benefits and bank on this portable GPS tracker for sales evaluation, response, safety, customer service and support monitoring. In summary, the tool encourages improvement in productivity and limit time wastage.

Never Alone has a small size and fits perfectly into the palm of one’s hand, and cost a company RM75 subscription per month to use the service.
