Compas features GPS-Enabled Search

Allow anyone to walk into a location with historical audit information and a list of outstanding action items

All locations are geo-coded. Simply click on the “find me” feature and, by using the smartphone’s Google® Mapping and GPS functionality, Compas will default to the closest physical location.

The “find me” feature uses the GPS technology built into the Blackberry® device to find an individual’s latitude and longitude. Then, it queries the location structure to find the closest physical location to where that individual is standing and the relevant audit information.

The “find me” feature can provide visibility to your audit program for all key stakeholders across the organization and can benefit auditors and executives alike.

Imagine you are an auditor. You just pulled into the parking lot of the location you are auditing and you initiate the “find me” function on your Blackberry® device. By the time you reach the front door, you have the location up and access to previous audit scores as well as a list of all outstanding action items. You approach the Location Manager and immediately discuss the previous audit and outstanding action items prior to beginning your new audit.

Imagine you are an executive. You are planning a few unannounced location visits to understand what’s going on at the ground level and you initiate the “find me” function on your Blackberry® device. By the time you enter the location, you have access to the audits performed and a list of outstanding action items, providing intelligence that can help drive valuable conversations with location management.
