Worker productivity tracking software
Benefits
Why worker productivity tracking matters
In large industrial operations such as construction, mining, oil & gas, manufacturing and logistics, managing workforce efficiency is complex. Manual tracking and shift logs often fall short, costing time, accuracy and visibility. Automated tracking improves decision-making with reliable data - enabling faster response, clearer accountability and higher productivity.
Common challenges on industrial sites
Manual time tracking slows operations
Relying on badges and paper logs leads to delays, errors and inconsistent reporting, especially across multiple shifts or large sites.
Poor visibility across dispersed teams
Coordinating large field crews or maintenance teams without real-time insights often leads to bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Inefficient handovers and shift starts
Shift changes create downtime when staff manually check in, report status and distribute work.
Heading
An oil and gas construction company improved real-time monitoring of staff across large sites.

How RFiD Discovery improves productivity tracking
Real-time productivity insights
Our system uses a hybrid of GPS, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and LoRa technologies to track worker location and activity in real time, both indoors and outdoors. This delivers a clear, up-to-date view of workforce activity across the entire site, supporting accurate productivity tracking in complex environments.
Team productivity dashboard
Geofencing and workflow analytics
Define production areas and work zones using geofences to automatically capture time spent in each location, task start and end times, and movement between zones. These insights create a reliable performance baseline to optimise schedules, improve workflows and reduce idle time.
How LoRaWAN supports outdoor worker-tracking in high-risk environments
Automated reporting and alerts
Generate daily or weekly productivity reports and configure alerts for no-shows, extended inactivity or deviations from expected routes and tasks. This enables managers to act quickly and focus on continuous operational improvement.
Standard KPI dashboard
Seamless integration with operational systems
The platform integrates smoothly with existing HR and operational management systems, ensuring productivity data feeds directly into planning, monitoring and performance dashboards without adding complexity or manual effort.
LoRa tracker
Workers wear a LoRa tracking tag that enables geolocation and remote monitoring over several kilometers - either in open pits, underground mines or indoor facilities. Each tag device leverages multiple GNSS constellations (GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou) and our embedded algorithms to improve standard accuracy and battery lifespan.
Enhanced satellite positioning
Tags send their position and status to LoRa-compatible stations, which provide enhanced satellite positioning over a private LoRa network, or via a public cellular network.
Real-time location information
Information is then sent to a central RFiD Discovery database which provides real-time location updates including notifications about when employees are present in production zones. This can be integrated with existing operation systems to provide analytic data and real-time information about operational events.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is productivity tracking software?
Productivity tracking software collects data on employee activities and time tracking to generate productivity metrics and insights that help organisations improve team performance and workflow.
How does productivity tracking improve team performance?
By providing real-time visibility into team productivity and project execution, managers can identify inefficiencies, optimise workflows and support teams more effectively.
Can productivity tracking software be used across multiple projects?
Yes. The system tracks productivity across multiple projects, zones and teams, providing consistent data for planning and performance evaluation.
Are dashboards customisable?
Yes. Dashboards and reports are fully customisable, allowing each stakeholder to focus on the productivity metrics most relevant to their role.
Is productivity tracking suitable for industrial environments?
Absolutely. The solution is designed for large-scale, industrial environments where accurate time tracking and workflow visibility are critical.
