Vehicle Location & Asset Tracking: Monitor/track people or assets that are mobile using a Global Position System (GPS) device so that field locations are visible on a computerize map in an office. May have other features to obtain field data and handle back-office requirements.

Workforce Automation: Supports specific tasks done by a field worker or provides a tailored interface to corporate systems to do key activities on client sites. Includes wireless Customer Relationship Management or CRM where mobile worker is not "dispatched".
Project Management: Records hours and tasks related to jobs or cost centers. Input is done when task is completed or at set times to yield real-time information on job status. Eliminates paper trail because data is imported to other applications, such as billing or payroll.
