Leveraging Geofencing Technology for the Staffing Industry

Have you ever wished you could know for sure that your temporary workers are on-site without having to leave the office? Geofencing is an exciting technology that allows you to achieve this and more. It creates and monitors virtual boundaries. And it will know when the perimeter is breached by a device, individual, or item.

Geofencing uses GPS technology and software to handle the tracking. And you can use it for more than monitoring boundaries. If you have ever had a retail app ping you when you’re near a store, it is likely using geofencing to understand when customers are near the location. It is a technology used in countless industries, which is why Global Market Insights predicts the global geofencing market will exceed $500 million by 2023.

The applications of geofencing in staffing can transform the way you do business, enabling your company to use your resources efficiently and confidently. Instead of worrying about where your workers are and what they are doing, wasting time with physical followups, manual texts, emails, and phone calls, you can rely on tech to answer your questions and keep your clients happy.

Aside from using geofencing to make sure your workers are on-site, here are a few great ways to use this technology.

When an employee clocks-in or clocks-out using technology that supports geofencing, it can also automatically generate a timesheet. This eliminates the need to create timesheets manually, which means the information is more accurate, it takes less time and human resources, and you can invoice the client faster with easier approval.
