LITTLE ROCK, Ark.--
Alltel Wireless, America’s largest network, today announced that Alltel Workforce Locator, a tracking and mobile resource management (MRM) solution designed by Autodesk, is now available on the first in a series of BREW devices enabled with location-based services (LBS) such as the Samsung R430, Samsung U520, LG AX260 and the LG AX300. Alltel Workforce Locator provides a scalable, easy-to-manage solution that empowers even small businesses to monitor their mobile workforce in real time, improving crucial aspects of business such as operational efficiency, customer service and workforce deployment costs.
Alltel Workforce Locator allows businesses to gain visibility into the field by viewing Web-based maps enabling management to quickly locate their workforce. The software maximizes resources by streamlining routing and fleet management, which can help reduce fuel costs. For example, Workforce Locator directs employees to the correct job site and improves communications between office management and staff, with the ability to send job updates via text messaging. Workforce Locator also delivers improved response time to customer service calls and reduces employee downtime. In addition, the scalable platform can accommodate any number of workloads or users for businesses, regardless of size.
“Due to the high cost of transportation, customers have been seeking solutions to increase efficiency within their mobile workforces,” said Rod Egdorf, head of worldwide sales and marketing, Autodesk Location Services. “Workforce Locator is a powerful and flexible tool that helps boost productivity and, as a result, reign in business expenses.”
