Case Study: Enhancing Sales Efficiency with Perk Payroll's Geo-Tagging Feature

Direct Marketers Pvt. Ltd.*, a dynamic small business specializing in direct marketing solutions, faced significant challenges in tracking the activities and validating the work hours of their field-based sales representatives. With a workforce of 40 sales reps who operated across various regions, ensuring accurate time tracking and payroll processing was becoming increasingly complex and error-prone.

The Problem

The primary challenge for Direct Marketers was the difficulty in verifying the locations and hours worked by their sales reps.
