Econz Wireless has announced the availability of its wireless workforce management applications for BlackBerry 7 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones in South Africa. The company’s solutions help businesses of all sizes to improve efficiency and boost profitability by using mobile technologies to streamline the management of their workforces.

The following Econz applications are now available on the BlackBerry World storefront:
* Timecard GPS is a feature-rich GPS tracking application with time and attendance features that makes it easy for managers to track fieldworkers’ movement throughout the day via a Google maps interface; and
* Timecard GPS Lite offers basic GPS time and attendance features for organisations that do not need the functionality of the full platform.

The applications are targeted at a wide range of industries including construction, distribution, healthcare, utilities, telecommunications, government and field service.
