5 Hilariously Accurate Stages of Parenting Every Parent Will Recognize

/

I think we’re all in agreement when we say that parents have their work cut out for them. And that’s putting it lightly. When you decide to take the plunge and have children, you basically get yourself a subscription to Planet Parenthood for at least the next 18 years… and older parents would know that their duties go well into the years past, even after the children left the nest. So when we saw an infographic that broke down the duty of parenting into a number of stages, we couldn’t help but laugh out loud, literally. They were so eerily spot on that we wanted to share them with you because of how relatable they are. Every parent in their life is bound to go through these stages… 1.     The Zombie Stage Ah, how amazing is it that your tiny little bundle of joy has been born with relentless vocal chords meant to keep you awake for at least 2 years of your life. When your baby comes in, your sleep goes bye-bye. Most parents of older kids would recognize this phase and shudder when the memories hit. The constant attention required. The never ending diaper changes. Thinking you’ve finally put the baby to bed. Sitting down with your well earned glass of wine to realize, NOPE, the baby is yelling and no way is your bundle of joy about to have some shuteye anytime soon. Trying to get the baby to stop crying. Quitting and crying with the baby yourself. Then finally, in the wee hours of the night, getting the baby tired enough to get ‘em to sleep. Finally settling in yourself… only to have your alarm clock go off on you, telling you it’s time to go off to work! Yup, those were the zombie years and most parents would much rather never revisit them ever again. 2.     The Finger-paint Artist Stage At one point in their lives, parents would have found themselves either as an contemporary avant-garde finger-paint artist… or at the other end as their child’s free form canvas. This stage is as much about performance art as it is about modern art itself you see. Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Banksy, they’ve got nothing on your toddler that is unleashing his innermost feelings through paint and paper and finger and dragging you along with it. This stage can be rather therapeutic, you’d do good to enjoy it while it happens. 3.     The Chauffer Stage And then school begins! Your child is finally old enough to start an education and you couldn’t be happier. But it’s not just going to school, you see. They also want piano lessons, and ballet lessons, and softball and football, and music and karate and what have you. At this stage of your parenting, you’re going to find yourself being your child’s chauffer more than an actual guardian. You’ll be behind the wheel a lot, driving them from one place to the other. Maybe you’ll even become the designated driver parent, carpooling for a lot of other parents. 4.     The Bad Cop Stage Now your child is growing up and you find yourself setting rules that they may not like. This stage is not fun for either party—not the child, nor the parent. There are a lot of tantrums and bad moods involved in this stage and often you’ll feel like your relationship is being tarnished. Just remember that by being assertive and setting some rules, you’re not turning into the bad guy. You’re in fact doing what is right for them and their future. Your child may not like you too much around this time but don’t stress. In a couple of years, they will come to realize how right you were. 5.     The 007 Monitoring Stage Finally; the stage where parents start realizing the importance of incorporating technology into their routine. This is where parents understand just how essential mobile monitoring is in everyday parenting and begin to take practical steps into monitoring their children on social media, instant messengers and dating apps. At the end of the day, every parent has a lot to be proud of. Like we always say, childrearing is not easy work but it is immensely satisfying—once you’ve gone through all these stages, you’ll remember it fondly. What stage of parenting are you at?

Dealing With Addiction With iPhone Monitoring—Part 3

Here is the final part of one XNSPY Dad’s experience on dealing with his son’s addiction. Make sure you go through parts 1 and part 2 to understand his story better. In this blog, he talks about how iPhone monitoring helps him mediate his son’s situation… How iPhone Monitoring Helped It was at this stage that I began to use the iPhone spyware on my son. When he first attained sobriety, I wanted to make sure he never ever got back into his old ways again. At the same time, I knew relapse was part of the recovery. So I absolutely wanted to be prepared when something like that would happen. My iPhone monitoring software helped me do two things. It helped me track his current location and give me a log of all the places he had been. It also helped me read every single one of his messages and modes of communication, be it through text, WhatsApp, Facebook, or even email. I knew who he was contacting and what sort of things he was talking about. Another thing that the iPhone monitoring app had was something called the Watchlist. This was an alarm system where I could mark suspicious activity. Immediately, I put in the numbers of all the kids that my son used to hang out with when he was using. I also made sure to mark all the places on the map where he used to visit his “dealer”. I also specified the names of the drugs and other suspicious words. The Watchlist would give me an instant notification anytime there was any activity happening relating to the things I had Blacklisted. Sure enough, a month after his recovery, my son contacted one of the kids on my Blacklist who was supposedly his “dealer”. I confronted him right away and asked him if he wanted to go back into the centre if he felt like he wasn’t ready. He was embarrassed and said he was stop. But I knew he was relapsing and soon the urge to use would become strong again. I was right. He somehow found a way to communicate with the dealer without his phone and decided to meet up with him in one of his old spots. Because I was tracking his location, I found out the exact moment he went to see the guy. This was the toughest part of his recovery, having to go through it all over again. But once we got through this part, things got much better. Helping Him Stay Clean I still continue to use my iPhone spyware on my child, even though he is 11 months sober now. He has gone back to his normal routine. He is doing well in school again and he is staying out of trouble. But I still keep an eye on the Watchlist. I still go through what he browses for on the internet and make sure I read through his messages as they appear. I have to be vigilant now because I wasn’t then and had to pay a huge price for it. The reason I wrote this piece was to share with you some of the methods I used to help my son. I know everyone always talks about helping through counseling and through moral actions. But when I was experiencing this, I wanted someone to give me a tangible solution. Something like a cure, a medicine I could use to fix my son, or a magic want I could wave to make it all go away. Although I found no magic want, I found a great way to monitor my child’s progress. So I guess I’m writing this to tell you that some tools do exist. And even if this post benefits a single parent, I would consider my job done. Share this experience blog with anyone who think could use some help.

Dealing With Addiction With iPhone Monitoring—Part 2

Here is Part 2 of our XNSPY dad’s story on how he dealt with his 16 year old son’s addiction. In this blog, he will be talking about the importance of realizing your child’s problem early on. We will let him take the stage… Realizing Symptoms The one thing you’ve got to do is know what the symptoms of addiction are. Sometimes I wish I had been better informed early on. This way, I could have found a way to take my son out of the darkness before it got this far. The guilt eats me up to this way and has caused me to have many sleepless nights. So I’m sharing them with you now so that you can help your kids when it counts. If your child is using, you will see the following symptons: They may appear aloof and reclusive They will stop paying attention in school; their grades will plummet They may be eating too little or too much They might neglect activities that otherwise interested them They will be irritable or have increasingly more problems with their friends and family They will hang out with new “friends” They would become more secretive and would lie excessively They will show definite physical changes such as improper hygiene, dilated pupils, dark circles, and a big loss in weight They will have definite changes in behavior to the point where they will have run ins with authority such as their teachers or even the law. I must admit that I did notice some of these things in my son, but I misjudged them for being part of puberty. When my son was moody or hugely irritable, I thought he was just being an angry teenage boy. When he stopped eating for a while, I thought he was depressed and suggested that I take him to a good therapist. Never did I imagine that my boy would be having trouble with drugs. I should have known then, but although my time has passed, you can recognize the early onset signs in your child now when it matters. Dealing With Relapse The other thing you’ve got to know is that whether you like it or not, you will have to deal with relapse. The key is not to be discouraged by it and recognize it as being a temporary setback in their road to recovery.  It is a sweet victory when you see that your child has stopped using and is finally starting to get clean. You start to feel like things are normal again. So I know it is a scary prospect to have to go through the same horror all over again. You just have to know that relapse will be part of the process. Don’t start blaming your child right away. Don’t presume to think that just because they have relapse, they never wanted to get clean in the first place. Don’t treat the relapse as a tragedy, a horrible disaster that you can’t undo. Most of all don’t make the relapse about yourself. Focus on your child and they fact that they are suffering and that it is their life that has to be put in order. As unnerving as it can be, you’ve got to realize that this is all part of the process and that you will have to help them get on track again. It takes a certain amount of trial and error to get things right. The best way to deal with recovery is to take it one day at a time. Relapse can occur days, weeks, or even months after a person has been sober. Stay tuned for the final installment of this dad’s account of his son’s struggle with addiction. Part 3 coming soon!

Dealing With Addiction With iPhone Monitoring—Part 1

A XNSPY father wrote to us with his son’s struggle with addiction. He wrote to us in great detail and explained what this situation feels like as a parent. We wanted to give amazing father the platform to express his story in the greatest detail. His story will be published in a three part blog so that he may explain all stages of his and his son’s journey as they made their life better. Here he is in his own words. You can only imagine what I went through when I found my son lying in a heap on the hospital bed as his stomach was pumped because he had just overdosed on some sort of narcotics. All the while, his “friends” made a run for it because if they hadn’t, they would have faced the police and then their parents. These boys were only 16 years old, you see, so their fear and their utter stupidity came from their immaturity. But none of that mattered to me. All that mattered to me was that my son should make it out alive. He did. We got through it. When he woke up, he was a mess. The guilt that he experienced from knowing that I had found out about his addiction should have cured him. But it didn’t. He spent that entire night crying and begging for forgiveness. I suppose in some way, that was the first step to his rehabilitation. He had realized that he was in the wrong. And I had decided that he needed help. He was going to get clean, and I was going to help him through it. I had plenty of help along the way, but for this post, I’m going to tell you how I monitored him very closely to make sure he does not go back to his old habit. I used an iPhone spyware on his iPhone without telling him so that I could know exactly what he was up to at all times and know when he was lying to me. And boy was that helpful. Understanding Addiction The thing is, anyone can fall prey to addiction. In fact, the younger you are the more vulnerable you are to this disease. In its simplest terms, addiction is said to have occurred when a child continues to use drugs even after knowing and suffering through its consequences. It is a continued use of that drug which develops into a compulsion. The urge for the drug becomes so strong that the child is unable to control it. The only way to curb that urge is by using more. Usually, the road to addiction begins with experimentation. Kids use experimental drugs such as marijuana without actually wanting to get addicted. But soon after, they begin enjoying the effects of the drugs and keep on going back to it. They begin trying newer drugs to get better “highs”. Eventually, the narcotics begin affecting the user’s brain. In this case, the users now want to the drugs to feel normal again because not taking them makes them feel like they’re missing something. I want to take this moment to tell you that the “urge” we’re talking about is not to be underestimated. It is the urge that ruins lives. The urge makes the user constantly think about the drug. It makes them feel like nothing in their life will be okay unless they use. They don’t pay heed to eating or sleeping. In fact, it becomes the most important thing in their lives, more than family or relationships or talents or anything else they held dear in their lives. All that matters to them now is that they curb that urge with another hit. This is why drug addicts are so unpredictable. They would do anything—they would lie, cheat, steal, harm others, do whatever it takes to keep on getting their fix. You should also know that addiction can change a person, sometimes for good. It changes how their brain functions, and these changes can be long lasting. It can even cause cognitive problems. Can you imagine a child not being able to think straight because their need for a substance is so strong? It is so necessary for parents to have a full understanding of how addiction works because it is a disease. Parents need to understand it fully instead of blaming the child right away. Think of it this way. If your child would have diabetes, you would want to do as much research as you can to find out more about the disease, right? Think of addiction in the same way. Understand how it works and find out how you can help. Stay tuned to hear more from this dad as he shares his experience with his son’s addiction.

Why You Need Remote WhatsApp Spying as a Parenting Tool—Part 2

Hey XNSPiers! As promised, here is part 2 of our remote WhatsApp monitoring blog, where we will talk in detail about what it takes to review your kid’s instant messaging applications. In the first part of our blog, we went over the pros of WhatsApp monitoring. Now it is time to look at a few down sides. The Cons of Using WhatsApp Monitoring Of course, there are a few drawbacks. First of all, the functional cons. (https://www.foleyengines.com) Unfortunately, our app does not work on Blackberry, only if you’re an Android or iOS user. We are always trying to work towards reaching as many people as we possibly can, which is why we chose Android and iOS platforms first. Hopefully, we can expand toward more platforms in the future, so always keep an eye out! Secondly, the deeper cons. Some would say that monitoring kids on such a deep level is probably not a good idea. Building a relationship based on trust is important with children, and letting them use WhatsApp to their discretion is an arbitrary but important part of the trust. But I don’t view it as such. I feel like as parents, you have a duty to look after your kids and while they are minors, you should be able to monitor their conversations for their own safety and wellbeing. Moreover, using XNSPY entails that you are comfortable enough with apps and smartphones to have sought out an app to make your parenting better. Are There Alternatives? The alternative to WhatsApp spying through an app? Monitoring in the real, physical world. At the end of the day, you mean to read through your child’s WhatsApp messages, don’t you? You can do so by actually getting hold of their phones and reading through their instant messenger. Of course, kids are smart and will be quick to hide the suspicious stuff before the inspection. It then sounds much easier to just use a discreet app that will help you do the monitoring for you. Parting Words So, are you ready to spy on WhatsApp remotely using your mere wits and a monitoring tool? One the one hand, you’ll have all the information in the world to tell you what your child is up to. You’ll know if they’re being mischievous, you’ll know if they are talking about something unethical, you’ll know if they’re sad, you’ll know if there is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, sometimes it will make more sense to have an open conversation with your child rather than have to go through their messages. But then again, technology merely enables what we do in the real world, doesn’t it? So, who says we can’t have a bit of both? See Also:  Here is how you can monitor Whatsapp on iOS and Android.

Why You Need Remote WhatsApp Spying as a Parenting Tool—Part 1

Parents have enough on their plates as it is without having to worry about what goes on on their kid’s instant messengers. To be fair, not every parent is completely comfortable with technology to know that kids have moved on from texting to Kik, from MSN messenger to WhatsApp. WhatsApp, most popularly so. It has taken over text messaging in a big way because it is a lot more interactive and a lot more, well, instant. It is a new found way for kids to communicate with each other and express themselves. So, it doesn’t surprise me when parents aren’t completely on board with it. What surprises me is the lack of caution they take in monitoring them on that very platform. In truth, they should be gathering all their tech comrades that would help them make parenting a whole lot easier. Now, there are a few ways in which they could spy on WhatsApp remotely and keep a good check on their kids, intervening when need be. XNSPY is out parenting app through which WhatsApp spying for parents is made easier. Because yes, it is remote, but it is also very easy to use. Let’s weigh our options here. The Pros of Using WhatsApp Monitoring The transparency of information. Parents will know of every single message that is sent or received through WhatsApp on their kid’s phone. This means they know of every contact their kid is communicating with, they know of the content that is being shared amongst them, they know of the context in which the conversation is occurring, and they know of every single media file that is being transferred. The correct timing of action. XNSPY relays the information to parents in real time. This means that parents can read messages as they appear on their kid’s actual devices. Moreover, all logs are stored for future reading as well. Other than that, XNSPY has a Watchlist system that sets alarms for very specific kinds of activities—WhatsApp messages contained suspicious words, or messages from suspicious contacts all trigger the alarm system, keeping the parent informed at the right time. The wireless ability. The key word here is “remote”, and this means that most of the monitoring occurs wirelessly. The parents just have to install the app onto the kid’s phone once and then they operate from an online remote control. In our next blog, we’ll be reviewing some cons of WhatsApp spying as well so that you know all sides of the coin and can make a decision on your own. We will also be giving you an overview so that you have a better understanding overall of what you need to do as a parent when WhatsApp is all they want to use. Here at XNSPY, we want our parents to know about the good and the bad of all the apps their kids use. We personally do not think the apps themselves are bad! We just want parents to know that kids can use them in ways that can be risky. Keep a look out for part 2, which should be coming soon!

Safety Tips for Kids Who Cannot Have Enough of Pokémon Go

/

Listen up, parents! As promised, we are back with our blog on safety tips that you should follow if your children are addicted to Pokémon Go. In case you missed our last blog, here is a quick recap on what Pokémon Go actually is: It is a mobile app video game that uses augmented reality to stimulated catching Pokémon. Kids need to physically walk certain number of miles to catch Pokémon. It uses location tracking. If you have any idea what the anime series was all about, you will know that the point of the game is a quest to catch ‘em all… that is collect all the Pokémon they can find. So, here’s the thing. We had a lot of good things to say about the video game in our last blog. But you also need to know about the other side of the coin. There are obviously some risks associated with this game that you need to be aware of. Let’s go through them one by one. The Dangers of Pokémon Go The video game requires your children to step outside of the house and walk around town. That is a good thing. However, once they are out, the general risks of stepping out without adult supervision apply. Therefore, the risks associated with Pokémon Go are generally the same as any as when a child steps out unaccompanied. However, the sense of adventure that the game brings encourages kids to wander off in their search. Which has brought about some really bizarre outcomes. In Wyoming, for instance, when 19 year old Shayla Wiggins set out to find Pokémon, she ended up finding a dead body in the river instead. In a similar story, three girls were wandering about in San Diego park, looking for Pokémon when they found a corpse in a creek within the park. These incidents actually pushed the developers to flag a warning to its players to be aware of their surroundings while playing the game. Other risks associated with the video game are: The risk of running into malicious strangers while playing the game. Remember, the Pokéstops and “Pokémon gyms” are the same for all players, so there could be a chance that predators use these as a way to target vulnerable children. There are quite a few in app purchases. To earn Pokécoins, your child can spend as much as $80. Privacy issue. The app uses a lot of your child’s personal information (date of birth, email, social media information, and other such app permissions). We all know how data breaches can be rather problematic. Playing the Vigilante Now you know that the risks with Pokémon Go are not dissimilar to the risks of going out, or using any other gaming app for the matter. You are not in unfamiliar waters here. Therefore, the same parenting precautions would apply when you play the vigilante. Use your XNSPY location tracking feature to know your child’s current status at all times. Use geo-fencing to mark unsafe areas. Tell your children not to enter these areas when they go out to play Pokémon Go. If they enter those places, you will get an instant notification. Keep an eye on your credit card purchase history to make sure your kids aren’t sneaking their way into getting more Pokécoins. In case they run into anything suspicious (such as the weird incidents given above), tell them to call 911 immediately. And that’s about it. Let your kids enjoy this new fad of theirs but make sure they are being safe and responsible when playing the game, just like they would be with anything else. Do you have any Pokémon Go safety tips you use to protect your children? Share them with us!

Cyber Espionage
Business

How to Prevent Cyber Espionage in Your Start Up

/

New business ideas are getting a face lift day by day. We have moved on from the dot com world to the universe of mobile applications. As many as 60 thousand new apps are added to the store everyday and app ideas are bounced to investors by the millions. It is all in the idea isn’t it? It is not about supplying to an existing demand anymore. It is about seeing a gap in the market and creating a demand, creating a need that people didn’t even realize was missing from their lives. So when you do set up your start up, that very idea is going to be the most valuable asset in your arsenal. That idea could tank and mean you close down your business the very next day, or that idea could very well make you a millionaire. What happens when that idea gets stolen? What happens when the one thing you were banking on to build your empire is pried from your hands? What if that idea was taken away by an inside job? The Scope of Cyber Espionage Believe it or not, cyber espionage is the greatest threat of our time. And you’ve got so many examples in front of your from our own time that can tell you the extent of it all. Take the Chinese hackers incident where information of 4 million or so government officials was leaked. Or how about the infamous Wikileaks that vows to expose politicians around the world? Then you had the game changing Panama Papers that were revealed as part of a huge international espionage cartel. At this time while one might argue that the examples quotes above may have caused good more than bad (as far as information released to the public is concerned), the reason these were quoted were to explain to you the scope of cyber espionage. Now bring back the concept to your small business where there are fewer stakes (and no international players lol). Imagine your idea being breached and relayed to your competitors by one of your own employees. Here is what you can do. Combating Cyber Espionage Hands On What you need to do is monitor all data being received and transmitted from your office first hand. Our employee monitoring tool does just that. Once you’ve installed it in your employee’s devices, you will be able to see what they do on their phones. For instance, you can: Read all the emails being send and received. You can know who your employees are communicating with and what information is being exchanged. Sieve through all the photos being exchanged. Often, you will find that employees breach data by taking photos of your documents and sending it to your competitors. But monitoring photos, you can prevent that from happening. Read all IM messages and SMS. This way, you can keep an eye on all exchanged text messages as well. Record phone calls. You can keep an eye on all the contacts and listen to the phone conversations as they are happening. What you need to do is make sure you are one step ahead of your employees at all times. When communication is transparent, there won’t be many ways in which your employees can move information around without being noticed. XNSPY employee monitoring will make you in charge of your own fate.

Everything Parents Need to Know About: Pokémon Go

/

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably heard of the latest craze in all things mobile gaming apps: Pokémon Go. It is the game that all man, woman and child has been playing. What is Pokémon Go? If you’ve heard the theme song for the anime series, it goes something like “Gotta Catch ‘Em All”. And so, Pokémon Go is basically is a mobile game where you walk about and catch Pokémon. That is pretty much the entire concept. However, what elevates is the fact the game uses augmented reality and simulates the catching of Pokémon into real life. It is a mashup between and actual life game and a video game. The game uses the device’s GPS tracker to hash out your actual map. Then, you’ve got to walk about and find Pokémon around your town. You collect Pokémon, you train them, then you battle them against other Pokémon. What Has the Reception Been Like? Pokémon Go has quite easily taken over the entire world. Everyone is playing it. In fact, the game has surpassed the actual Pokémon fan base… people who have never seen the anime series are playing the game. It is also not limited to an age group. Like I said earlier, kids, teens, young adults, adults—everyone is playing it. That is what the developers were aiming for. They wanted to keep the game simple. By not making it super complicated, they allowed other people to experience the Pokémon universe and play a game where they get to mix reality with video games. A Lot of Walking Involved It has had quite the impact on people! In order to collect Pokémon, people are stepping out of the house, taking long walks. You collect Pokémon eggs and in order to hatch them, you’ve got to walk a certain distance. For instance, there are 2 kilometer eggs, 5 kilometer eggs and so forth. Oh, and it is giving the Americans a chance to learn the metric system, too (okay not really, but you bet people are doing a lot of math converting kilometers into miles). That is the amount of walking you have to do to hatch the eggs and earn yourself a Pokémon. And you can’t cheat out of walking, either! If you drive, the app will detect the motion and it won’t be included in your miles. Earlier, people found a cheat where they would tape their smartphones onto ceiling fans to get the miles, but the developers found a way around that as well. You really have to do the walking with this one. And that is a brilliant thing! People are stepping out, getting some air and getting some physical activity in their daily lives through a video game. I mean think about it. Gen Y and Gen Z are criticized by their elders for • Spending too much time on their devices • Not getting enough fresh air • Preferring video games over outdoor games • Living generally sedentary lifestyles With Pokémon Go, these kids get to have the best of both worlds. They get to play their favorite video games, and they get in some physical activity. Walking, running, collecting Pokémon… there really isn’t anything bad about this game, is there? Well, unfortunately, there are grey areas with every development in tech. Things parents should know about if they want to protect their kids. In our next blog, I’m going to talk about all the red flags that are associated with the game so you can take the right precautions. Till then, I’ve got to go out and hatch some Pokémon…

Going Digital With Fleet Management is the Need of the Hour

Going Digital With Fleet Management is the Need of the Hour

/

Internet marketing has paved way for an entire virtual marketplace that has enabled entrepreneurs to start off independently. That’s the good news. The bad news is; an intangible workspace makes management harder than you’d think. Fleet managers lose money at every bit of the supply chain. Demand is never constant, and businesses find themselves at odd with retailers and warehouses, all because of a poorly managed logistics system. When relying on so many people who are out-bound, businesses seem to take a little bit of leap of faith. All the while, the easiest solution is to make their operations go digital, too. There is no other way around it, really. It is the need of the hour. Even if you’ve got to make a tiny investment into going digital (which you won’t always have you—keep reading ahead to find out why) it is absolutely worth it. Businesses that stay analog eventually become obsolete. They lose out to competitors because they’re simply not as fast, as efficient or as cost effective as the others. And here’s why your fleet needs to take in the mobile storm: 1.      It’s Not that Expensive The top reason why small businesses don’t go digital right away is because of expenses. But the biggest misconception is that to start any business that involves delivery, you’re going to need a massive budget for sophisticated security systems, or at the very least, tracking devices for every vehicle. Do a little bit of research and you’ll realize that employee tracking doesn’t have to be so expensive when you’re starting out. Because you’ve been thinking actual 007 type trackers when you should be thinking in terms of mobile apps. There are lots of efficient apps that are willing to do the job for very little. For example, XNSPY, which is works brilliantly as an employee app, can be downloaded under $10 for a month. 2.      It Minimizes Risk Going digital is going to control (if not end) leakages from theft, miscommunication, misplacement and other technical issues. You will be able to keep an eye on your goods as they travel across the supply chain, so you won’t be blindsided anymore. Because you’d be tracking employees, you can make sure they’re delivering the goods where they are supposed to. 3.      It Allows Transparent Communication Your employees will understand that by going digital, they have greater accountability. A tracking app will lay it all out in the open so communication between you and your fleet staff will be transparent. Managers will be able to regulate and direct staff more precisely. This also makes both the employee and manager’s jobs easier. 4.      It Manages Expenses Another great thing about going digital? It manages your expenses. A good tracking app will also allow you to do a fair bit of route monitoring, so you can decide what the shortest distances are. This will save fuel cost. The managers can also be sure that employees aren’t using company vehicles for personal purposes. (https://symboliamag.com) Employee tracking is way more accessible than one would think. The internet has made it possible for entrepreneurs to start their business right at home. But all your operations need to go digital too, not just your presence.
