In "ST Locator .web" the OpenStreetMaps cards, detailed at the time of a product yield, are used. On them routes of "field" employees in the form of tracks and location of outlets are displayed. Markers give an evident idea of a situation in "fields". For each situation: whether it be planned or unplanned visit, the admission of the planned visit or registration of a visit with a deviation from a route — is provided a certain designation. Information on a route is saved on the server: at emergence of disputable situations it is always possible to recover information on its way on outlets and to learn what documents were created during the visit.

For the companies which implemented the automation equipment in business, "ST Locator .web" can serve as the instrument of increase in efficiency. Evident operational data on a situation in "fields" will help to increase labor productivity and level of responsibility of mobile employees, to save time which is required for control of removed personnel and to manage the current processes at office and out of it.

Alexey Borroto-Yakubovsky, the sales development director of Sistemnye Tekhnologii Group, told: "Regulations for sales often are formed taking into account marketing researches, data analysis about sales and requirements of logic. Having enclosed such resources in development, the company wants to receive result in the form of increase in sales volumes, loyalty of outlets and so on. Or to understand that the error somewhere crept in that then to correct it. But without tool for control of contractors it is impossible to be sure that instructions are observed, and check of exit employees in the manual mode is impracticable. We developed ST Locator .web service — the specialized module of the software package "ST Chicago" intended for control of removed personnel. In it we integrated data from office and mobile part of a software package: information on location of outlets and on the agent's route with all his activities. As a result received service not just for viewing tracks of agents on the card, and the tool for operational analytics of a "field" situation".
