I was part of the implementation team for SmartBarrel at our company, and the rollout went smoothly. One of the biggest wins was how easy it was to train our field employees, even those who aren’t very comfortable with technology. The system is straightforward and has helped improve accuracy and accountability with our time tracking. It’s been a great addition to our operations.
