AMI, or Activity Management Inc., offers the Insight service, which tracks employees that work outside the office, giving up-to-date information on their current location and how long client visits last. The software works by using the concept of “geocodes” and “geofences.” A geocode is simply a translation of a physical street address into latitude and longitude coordinates. A geofence is an area centered on a geocode that precisely describes the area a client site encompasses. When an employee enters the geofence their exact arrival time is recorded, while their departure time is recorded when they leave. All the information is recorded in a database, which managers can query to get daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly reports on employee visits.
