GPS Locator application

A GPS Locator application that would provide small and medium-sized businesses with real-time visibility into the location of the mobile workforce has been announced by AT&T and Xora Inc.

The new easy to deploy solution is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application designed to help AT&T business customers improve the productivity and accountability of field-based employees, as well as lower expenses related to overtime and fuel costs, said a press release.

The GPS Locator from is based on technology from Xora GPS Timetrack solution, and can be accessed from the same web-based portal as Xora GPS Timetrack and Xora GPS Timetrack In-Vehicle.

The application does not require any software to be loaded on the phone, providing quick and easy deployment. Field-based employees simply power on their mobile devices and office staff can see their locations using Xora's Web-based maps and reports.
