Title: Monitoring staff operations
Post by: sunshine windows on April 07, 2012, 07:48:38 pm: Hi,

For those of you that employ or are considering employing. Would you be interested in a system that could not only be tracked to location but also tell you when the pumps are in use and for how long.

This would be a great help in ensuring your staff aren't doing work on the side out of your vehicle, as you could monitor the amount of water being used in each location and how long the pumps were running for.

If anybody has already developed this technology then i'll get me coat but a business partner of my Dad's has offered this technology to me as he is currently using it in cavity wall insulations.

Not sure about the costs as i have yet to discuss it in full with him.

Regards,
Lance

I will be finding out more over the next few weeks so will keep you posted

I'm going to look into it for myself anyhow and will keep you guys informed as to how it goes.
