Many companies have processes and strategies in place for managing remote workers, mobile assets and loss prevention programs. However, many companies fail to attain the maximum benefit from these core processes because they lack the location tracking features necessary to ensure their success. Through our industry, functional and technical specialists, Omnilink has earned a reputation as a market leader in the development of cost-effective, high-return tracking solutions that enable companies to leverage advanced location technologies to help track their people and valuable assets. 

Omnilink has had the opportunity to work with companies in all types of industries, however, there are a few common areas where many companies can benefit from a defined Location Strategy including:

Remote Workers: Managing and ensuring the safety of a remote workforce is a concern for most companies, but has traditionally been a hard goal to accomplish. By combining advanced location technologies with the work processes and practices of their remote workers, businesses can achieve significant cost savings, improve Field Force productivity, and help ensure the safety of each individual in the field.

Mobile Assets:  When assets are in the field, business decisions are often made with data that is not timely, resulting in problems such as higher operating costs; lower asset utilization rates; delivery or service delays; lower customer satisfaction and loyalty; and more. By location enabling existing asset management solutions, companies gain an invaluable tool for maximizing their return from mobile assets or goods in transit. 

Loss Prevention:  In many industries, theft and lost goods represent one of the most significant operating costs, with a significant percentage of each year’s budget being allocated to helping control these losses. Recovery and/or prosecution have the most promise for effective cost control. Location-based services provide a key tool in any loss prevent strategy, producing significantly higher recovery rates and lower costs.

Developing an effective Location Strategy is the first step in truly location-enabling any company. However, without an effective plan for conveying the value to the organization and establishing clear measurements of success, the strategy cannot be integrated into a company’s daily processes. Omnilink’s LBS Planning services work to transform a comprehensive Location Strategy into a true business and implementation plan.
