AT&T has announced that it will provide its large and small business customers with a solution for improved workforce management thanks to a partnership with Xora for their Xora GPS TimeTrack solution.

 
With Xora GPS TimeTrack, AT&T business customers can keep better tabs on their company and ensure they're on the right track with timesheet data collection, job/work-order management, payroll integration, location tracking capabilities and businesses timesheet data collection, on AT&T-powered smartphones.
 
Available on May 23 via wireless download, the Xora GPS TimeTrack uses GPS technology provides companies with a mobile punch clock where employees in the field can log starting and ending times for shifts, breaks and specific jobs as well as a place for listing scheduled jobs for the day and other relevant information. The solution can also be leveraged by mobile workers to record specific job-related data for more accurate billing, tracking of inventory, and more. Also, the solution offers management back at the office with the ability to view information in near real-time on a PC.
 
"With the addition of Xora GPS TimeTrack to our robust portfolio of GPS-based offerings, AT&T business customers have access to one of the leading mobile field-service solutions on the market today," said Michael Woodward, vice president, Business Voice/Data and Wireless Products for AT&T's wireless operations.

That translates into increased efficiency, reduced costs and improved customer service."
