Tracking Event Assets for Better Resource Allocation
In the fast-paced world of event and production management, efficient resource allocation is crucial to ensure smooth operations and on-time execution. Event managers must oversee a multitude of assets, including equipment, personnel, and materials, all while maintaining effective communication across various teams and locations. QUICKTEL offers an innovative solution to this challenge with its 2-way Push-to-Talk (PTT) radios that come equipped with real-time GPS tracking, livestreaming body cameras, and an array of other features that simplify asset tracking and optimize resource allocation.
By combining real-time tracking, instant communication, and live visuals, QUICKTEL's POC (Push-to-Talk over Cellular) solutions enable event teams to stay on top of their resources, troubleshoot issues in real-time, and allocate assets efficiently. Here’s how QUICKTEL can enhance resource management for your event or production team.
Real-Time GPS Tracking for Resource Visibility
Knowing the exact location of your assets and crew members is essential for optimal resource allocation. QUICKTEL’s real-time GPS tracking provides event managers with full visibility of their crew and equipment across large venues or multiple locations. This technology allows event managers to quickly identify where resources are located, whether that be crew members working on setup, equipment that needs to be delivered to another location, or supplies waiting to be used.
For example, if you’re overseeing a large-scale event and need to move a piece of equipment quickly, GPS tracking can help you find the nearest available resource to complete the task. This capability reduces time wasted searching for missing equipment and ensures that the right asset gets to the right place at the right time.
The ability to track assets in real-time also minimizes the risk of losing equipment or supplies during the event, ensuring that nothing is misplaced, stolen, or left behind. By providing detailed location data, GPS tracking ensures that every asset is used efficiently and is always accounted for.
Livestreaming for Immediate Problem Resolution
Sometimes, event issues require immediate attention, but getting supervisors or key staff members on-site can take valuable time. QUICKTEL’s instant livestreaming feature allows crew members to transmit live video from their body cameras directly to supervisors or other team members, even from long distances. This allows for faster decision-making and problem resolution.
For example, if an equipment setup is going wrong or there’s a logistics issue that requires immediate feedback, the team member on-site can activate the livestreaming body camera, which transmits live footage of the situation to a supervisor. The supervisor can then offer real-time guidance or solutions, providing hands-on assistance without being physically present.
The night vision and flashlight capabilities of the body cameras also ensure that problems can be addressed, even in low-light environments or after dark. This feature helps improve the responsiveness of your event team, allowing them to fix problems on the spot and keep everything running according to schedule.
Hands-Free Communication to Keep Teams Connected
During busy event setups, the ability to communicate efficiently without interruptions is key. QUICKTEL's hands-free communication feature allows your event staff to stay in constant contact while keeping their hands free to perform tasks. With the Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality, team members can send and receive messages with a simple button press, making communication seamless and uninterrupted.
By keeping communication channels open while staff are on the move, event managers can ensure that no task is overlooked, and resources are used effectively. Whether it’s relaying an urgent task, confirming details, or providing guidance, PTT allows for clear communication even in the most demanding environments.
LCD Playback Touchscreen for Easy Access to Information
QUICKTEL’s LCD playback touchscreen gives event managers and crew members immediate access to key information, whether it’s tracking equipment, confirming location details, or reviewing past communications. This easy-to-use touchscreen feature ensures that managers don’t waste time flipping through complicated menus or paperwork.
For example, event staff can use the touchscreen to verify the current location of a piece of equipment or check in with other teams to ensure everyone is on track. Managers can also use the touchscreen to review livestreaming footage or GPS data to make quick, informed decisions that improve resource allocation.
Point of View (POV) Headset Compatibility for Visual Communication
For high-demand or complex tasks, it’s often difficult to relay all the necessary information over the radio. QUICKTEL’s Point of View (POV) headset compatibility takes communication to the next level by allowing crew members to stream a live, first-person perspective directly to a supervisor or team leader.
This is especially useful when working with heavy or difficult-to-position equipment, as the supervisor can see exactly what the crew member is looking at and provide precise guidance. It’s also incredibly helpful for teams working in large areas, where it’s hard to communicate effectively over long distances.
This added visual communication improves coordination between the crew and supervisors, making it easier to allocate resources and ensure tasks are completed according to plan.
Nationwide Coverage for Seamless Communication
Whether your event spans a single venue or multiple locations across the country, QUICKTEL's nationwide coverage ensures your team stays connected. The ability to communicate across various sites and even over long distances provides event managers with the flexibility to coordinate tasks and allocate resources wherever they’re needed.
In larger-scale productions, event managers often need to oversee several teams at once. With nationwide coverage, team members can remain in contact regardless of location, ensuring that equipment is distributed, set up, and used in a timely manner. Whether managing teams across a single city or multiple states, QUICKTEL’s nationwide coverage makes managing resources effortless.
Text Messaging for Quick, Non-Intrusive Communication
Sometimes a simple text message is the most effective way to communicate without disrupting the flow of operations. QUICKTEL’s text messaging capability allows for quick and discrete communication between team members. Whether confirming the delivery of equipment, providing updates on asset status, or clarifying specific details, text messaging ensures that communication is streamlined and efficient.
In event environments where time is of the essence, having multiple methods of communication ensures that your team can stay on the same page without missing important information.
