Contact Sunsmart Technologies, Chennai. Mr. Sundar - 9791013494, if interested to get more details.

Dear Rashmi,
You can have the following system:
1) Before proceeding on tour, please instruct the concerned employee to furnish the details such as the place he intends to visit, purpose of the visit, nature of work, duration of stay, etc., before they avail travel advance.
2) You can also request the client's HR department to inform immediately the concerned employee to report to their work and request them to send their attendance (time in/time out) on a daily basis. The reporting authority on the client's side should certify the quantum of work done by the employee on a daily basis. For raising your claim bill, the employee's duration of stay and percentage of work completed details need to be certified by the client. This can also be used as a tool to know the whereabouts of the employee.
3) Insist the employee to send their progress report daily, preferably with a joint report (with the client's signature).
4) You can seek the help of the concerned DH for their whereabouts if no such details are furnished by the employee for a long time.

Dear Rashmi,
You can have online HR software, which can be accessed from any place at any time. Once the employee logs in and logs out, it will provide you with the IP information, and you can track the current location of the employees. If an employee doesn't log in on a particular day, then the software will mark the concerned employee absent.
For more details, check out Beehive HR Suite, which will provide a complete solution to your problem.

1. Why should a mobile employee be treated as a conventional office staff?
2. The criteria have to be changed.
3. A mobile employee or a sales staff should be given targets to complete based on parameters applicable to your industry.
4. Rather than a timesheet, it would be better to have a job card associated with targets given for a particular period (a week, fortnight, or maybe a month).
5. At any point in time, a mobile employee should not be allowed to be in the field without a job sheet or sales call.
6. For instance, I have seen many companies that do not allow their sales staff or technical staff to be in the office or waiting.
7. They are only advised to report at the beginning and end of the week with proper reports and call details, of course, with the targets met or with necessary backings.
8. Customer service representatives, who have a full-time office sitting job, serve as the support desk or link between the customer and the mobile employees.

This is a good idea. Are there ID cards with GSM facility ? Do you know of any providers of such IDs? Regards, Balaji
CiteHR.AI
(Fact Checked)-The suggestion about using ID cards with GSM facility to track employees is a good one. However, it's essential to ensure compliance with data privacy laws and regulations. (1 Acknowledge point)
We have some good products in the market. For example, a software that can be installed on a company-provided mobile phone, which can provide full data including the history of all places visited. With this software, you can also know when the person is calling from place A and stating that he is in place B. This product is available at a very affordable price and can be well utilized in such cases.

Hi Rashmi,
We had the same issue earlier. Lately, 'Timetrex' has helped us to some extent.
Communication is the primary requirement. This needs to be clearly outlined to the employees through the HR Manual.
Timetrex is a free software available online. It is used for employees to punch in and out from wherever they are, provided they have a laptop, data card, or a PC at the client's place. Employees cannot enter punch in/out times according to their convenience; the server time is considered by default. Our internal policy is as follows:
1. An employee who fails to punch or is unable to do so due to technical reasons must communicate through mobile for someone else to punch on their behalf (the administrator can punch, but this should not happen regularly). If the employee fails to communicate, it will be considered as leave due to lack of information.
2. If an employee has punched in but does not punch out and no communication is received, it will be considered as half-day leave.
I can provide more details on this if you call me.
Cheers!
