A few months ago, we previewed a new way to map your team movements. We're happy to announce that this product is now available as Pinpoint!
Pinpoint lets you track geolocations, giving you quick visibility into the whereabouts of team members or key assets on the move. Other solutions for geolocation tracking often involve expensive proprietary hardware and IoT infrastructure. With Pinpoint, you can achieve similar results with your mobile device and a $30 monthly subscription to Tendrel Frontline.
We’ve heard some powerful use-cases for Pinpoint from our customers. While this isn’t comprehensive of every use-case for Pinpoint, here are some common areas where we think it will be useful:
We’ve all been there - there’s a fire that needs to be put out and there’s only one person for the job, but no one knows where they are. You have a messaging app but they’re just not answering their phone.
Whether it’s the maintenance team or a forklift driver, many folks have jobs that cover a whole facility. Pinpoint lets you see the last known location of each member of your team, letting you find them immediately when they’re needed.
Maybe you have more trouble finding things than you do people. Let’s say a team member is using a piece of equipment and leaves it out on the facility floor. Maybe they report that it’s broken and requires maintenance. Your maintenance team goes out to find the equipment, only to find it missing. Sometimes it takes days to find the missing asset. We’ve heard this story countless times.
With Pinpoint, there’s no more relying on memory. You can review the path taken by that employee and retrace their steps exactly to find the equipment.
Sometimes, you have assets that don’t stay at a single facility - especially if your industry relies on vehicles. In emergency services, we’ve heard from teams that want to be able to track their ambulances as they respond to calls. Other industries, such as construction and delivery, have similar use-cases for tracking vehicles.
Simply have the driver track with Pinpoint and you have instant access to their location. There are tons of benefits to being able to watch your vehicles on the move, including safety and security, the ability to verify mileage reports, and just knowing drivers are where they say they are.
We’ve heard customers quoted $50,000 annually for expensive IoT tracking solutions. Pinpoint may not have all the capabilities offered by one of these solutions, but you’re able to track geolocations for less than 1% of the cost.
Tracking locations starts in the Pinpoint mobile app. After logging in with your Tendrel account, you can start tracking your location by clicking “Start”. Once you’re checked in, there’s various ways to view the data in the mobile app. You can view your own location history, and review any individual tracking session.
Across both the mobile app and web console, supervisors can view their team’s current status and history, and review path taken by team members.
Supervisors can access a map of the last known location for every team member.
