The challenge
Westvlaams Tegelhuis was losing time to unclear scheduling and untracked working hours.
With more than 25 employees, Westvlaams Tegelhuis is a familiar name to customers large and small. Filip Vankeirsbilck contacted GeoDynamics so that his company could keep its focus on its core business and keep its customers satisfied.
He found that keeping an eye on the scheduling of every delivery was costing a considerable amount of time.
On top of that, tracking the hours worked by the tile fitters and other staff out on the road was never straightforward.
With GeoDynamics, Westvlaams Tegelhuis saves on payroll administration, has full control over hours and allowances, and keeps its scheduling running smoothly — which sharpens job costing and supports further growth.
The solution
GeoDynamics gives Westvlaams Tegelhuis real-time insight into hours and locations through vehicle tracking and a badge reader.
Working closely with the GeoDynamics team, Westvlaams Tegelhuis has fitted every vehicle in its fleet with a vehicle tracking unit and a badge reader.
Efficient time registration: workers badge in each day in their vehicle, so GeoDynamics records their hours worked automatically.
Immediate access: staff no longer have to wait until they are back at the office to check their hours — everything is available straight away.
Real-time scheduling: the scheduling team has continuous insight into where every employee is and can run detailed analyses to monitor progress.
“With time registration from GeoDynamics, we can finally concentrate on our core business. And for our people out on the road, it is much simpler now that they no longer have to write down their hours.”
