How Sales Watch Helps Distributors in Areas with Low Location Accuracy

In our recent case study in Papua, one distributor shared a common issue their field team faced: check-in points often appeared inaccurate or “drifting.” With vast terrain, unstable signals, and device variation, verifying visits in real-time was a major challenge.

After discovering Sales Watch, the distributor’s team felt more confident that they could monitor their field sales activities with greater accuracy — even in areas with limited connectivity. The offline tracking capability and automated reporting system gave them a clearer picture of how performance monitoring can remain reliable without depending entirely on real-time GPS.

Sales Watch’s system is designed with smart location tracking, combining location, time, and device ID data to create more precise activity logs. Supervisors can also validate visits directly through the dashboard, without the need for constant micromanagement.

According to Ken Research, many Indonesian startups are now prioritizing location accuracy because it directly impacts operational efficiency and data transparency. Sales Watch aligns with this growing trend — ensuring efficient field monitoring without adding complexity for users.

Additionally, GeoPostcodes highlights that smarter use of location data — not just raw GPS — is essential to reducing human error in sales and logistics operations.

Even Google Developers Blog recommends combining WiFi, cellular, and fused location data to improve accuracy without draining battery life — an approach now adopted by most professional tracking platforms.

With Sales Watch, distributors can:

• Validate sales visits without micromanagement

• Improve transparency and real-time reporting

• Adapt to varying field network conditions
  

This Papua story proves one thing: digital transformation isn’t exclusive to big cities. With the right tools, technology like Sales Watch empowers teams in developing regions to stay competitive and efficient.
