Now, mobile app that tracks employees


Chennai: The big boss is watching you. Companies are now deploying a mobile application, which would track their employee movements and how long they stay in one place, besides the speed at which they travel.

Sosaley Technologies, a Chennai-based electronics company has come up with a solution to track employees and vehicles at an inexpensive rate.  “Once you download the application, you can start tracking people who are networked to your system.

You can track the speed, the distance, the place of the vehicle in which the person is traveling,” said J. Srinivasan, CEO of Sosaley Technologies, who added that it can also be used to track whereabouts of elders and children.

He further said that their mobile application works on android platform in smartphones, sim card with GPRS and A-GPS on their phones. “While phones manufactured by Samsung, LG and Sony can use it now, we will soon extend this to use on other platforms like Apple and Blackberry,” he said.

Giving an example of how a FMCG distributing company can track its salesman and also areas he covered, with the help of the software, Srinivasan pointed out that the service would be of immense use to companies which deal with elevators, emergency unit providers, pharmaceuticals, service engineers and so on.
