2. Productivity improvement
Productivity improves when you can monitor assets utilization and progress and personnel presence in real-time. Knowing exactly the progress of each single assets, enables better job allocations for increased efficiency. With the help of specific reports, it is possible to understand the areas that need improvement.
3. Customer service improvement
