One of the greatest challenges for a company with a mobile and distributed workforce is keeping employees connected, especially when they are spread out over large geographies. Managing workers who are frequently on-the-move requires constant communication to make sure that employees are on task, on time, giving regular updates from the \ufb01eld, and being held accountable for their work. These are critical needs for \ufb01eld service companies, and traditional push-to-talk (PTT) services are not delivering e\ufb00ective solutions to accomplish these day-to-day business operations.<\/p>\n

Problems with Traditional Push-to-Talk and Phone Calls<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nextel once represented the gold standard in wireless push-to-talk, but the service couldn\u2019t keep up with advancing technology and usage was in steady decline before they shut down the iDEN network in 2013. Since then, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon have touted their PTT services running on 3G data networks, yet failed to provide a solution that combines utility with modern functionality.<\/p>\n

CB radios lack multimedia capability and are not interoperable with multiple devices and networks. Not to mention, if you miss a message on a CB radio, the message is gone. When communication can only be live, important information is lost when an employee is\u00a0unavailable. And often in field service roles, employees are not in their vehicles, which makes them unreachable. This wastes time and causes delays which can a\ufb00ect a company\u2019s bottom line.<\/p>\n

Many businesses with \ufb01eld service operations now give their employees smartphones or tablets, and use calling and texting as their primary means of communication. However, for dispatch-driven companies, this can mean employees and managers are making thousands of phone calls per day, which is incredibly ine\ufb03cient, or sending thousands of text messages which can pose safety risks in the \ufb01eld.<\/p>\n
