Enhance Employee Safety and Security with the Vismo Locate & Protect App

The Vismo Locate & Protect App is a powerful lone worker safety app and employee location tracking app tailored to boost personal safety and security. Equipped with advanced location-based services, real-time employee location tracking, and instant emergency alert features, the app ensures users stay connected and protected in any situation. Ideal for organisations with a duty of care obligation, the Vismo Locate & Protect App provides a dependable and efficient solution for mobile workforce tracking and mass notification - instilling confidence and assurance for both users and employers, knowing that their safety is actively monitored and supported at all times.

The app can be downloaded onto a phone or tablet, or alternatively managed via your mobile device management platform (MDM). Once activated, and based on the licence type, the Vismo Locate & Protect App offers a number of features to better equip your team during an emergency.

What is the Vismo Locate & Protect App?

The Vismo Locate & Protect App is a lone worker app and employee safety app that combines real-time GPS location tracking, emergency alerting, and mass notification into a single mobile application. It is designed for organisations that have a legal or moral duty to monitor the safety and whereabouts of their staff - particularly those working alone, in remote environments, or in high-risk locations.

Unlike general-purpose tracking tools, the Vismo app is built specifically around occupational safety and risk management. It connects directly to the Vismo Secure Portal, giving designated administrators full visibility of their workforce, the ability to manage incidents in real time, and the tools to communicate at speed when a situation develops.

Key capabilities of the app include:

Real-time GPS location tracking via Vismo’s patented BlackBox® technology

Lone worker check-in - scheduled check-ins with automatic escalation if missed

Man-down detection via the lone worker man down app functionality, triggering alerts when no movement is detected

Panic button for instant emergency alerting to designated contacts or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC)

Employee location tracking system integration - all data feeds directly into the Vismo Secure Portal and Monitor App

Send mass notifications across in-app, SMS, email, voice, and Slack channels

The app is available on iOS and Android, and can be deployed via MDM for large-scale rollouts across enterprise organisations. View licence options to find the right fit for your organisation.

Explore the Features

Real-Time Location Tracking

Our patented BlackBox® technology delivers precise real-time employee location tracking and optimised battery life to strengthen global safety and risk management. The same GPS tracking app functionality powers accurate location fixes whether employees are on-site, in the field, or working internationally.

Emergency Response
In emergencies, employees can activate the panic button to request assistance. This immediately informs designated contacts, security personnel or Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) of their situation.

Incident Management

Designated responders can quickly view an incident and identify employees by using their live location. They can then manage the incident through the Portal and send mass messages to individuals in the affected area. The lone worker man down app feature automatically triggers an alert when no movement is detected, ensuring workers who are incapacitated can still receive an immediate response.

User-Friendly Interface
The app is an intuitive and easy-to-use interface, ensuring that employees can quickly navigate and use its features, even in high-stress situations.

Customisable Settings
The app can be tailored to meet your organisation's specific needs by customising it with your branding, settings, permissions, and alerts according to your safety protocols and requirements.

Data Security

Vismo's data security includes end-to-end encryption and strict access controls to protect sensitive information.

Benefits to Organisations

Cost and Risk-Reduction Benefits

By enhancing risk awareness and fulfilling Duty of Care obligations, organisations can comply with legal mandates. Vismo provides reassurance by ensuring prompt location in emergencies, leading to increased employee safety, engagement, and productivity.

Response Options

Organisations can offer employees multiple ways to respond to notifications. This includes checking their safety status in an incident, or requesting a response through various channels like In-App, Email, SMS, Text to Voice and Slack. These response choices can be added to the Vismo Secure Portal and sent out as customisable mass notifications.

Risk Mitigation

Assess and reduce risks by monitoring employees in real-time via mobile workforce tracking, issuing immediate alerts regarding potential threats, and delivering comprehensive reports to enhance safety and security measures.

Partnerships

To accompany Vismo's built-in features, we collaborate with a multitude of partners and others to actively monitor and push geo-relevant intelligence feeds to quickly communicate details of high-impact events and emerging risks.

Vismo Secure Portal

The Vismo Secure Portal is an easy-to-use system for administrators to locate, protect and effectively communicate with their employees to manage and reduce risk. Organisations can add response options to mass notifications to easily identify the employees who require assistance. Any panic alert raised by an employee is instantly displayed on the portal, allowing immediate action to be taken.

To complement the Vismo Secure Portal, its core features are also available to administrators using the Vismo Monitor App, which is especially useful to security teams who may be travelling themselves, or not always with their PC. Delivery of notifications and alerts directly to a mobile device can significantly improve the availability and action from designated responders.

Locate & Protect App FAQ's

Q: What is the Vismo Locate & Protect App, and how does it work?

A: The Vismo Locate & Protect App is a lone worker safety app and employee location tracking app that uses GPS to track employee locations in real time. It sends accurate location data and alerts to the Vismo Portal, helping organisations monitor staff, manage risks and respond quickly to incidents.

Q: What is a lone worker app and what should it include?

A: A lone worker app is a mobile application that enables organisations to monitor the safety of employees working alone, without direct supervision or immediate access to colleagues. The best lone worker apps include real-time GPS tracking, scheduled check-ins, panic alerting, man-down detection, and two-way communication. Vismo’s app includes all of these in a single platform, connected to the Vismo Secure Portal for central oversight.

Q: What is the difference between an employee tracking app and a lone worker safety app?

A: An employee tracking app typically focuses on location visibility and attendance. A lone worker safety app goes further - adding check-ins, panic alerting, man-down detection, and emergency escalation workflows that meet occupational health and safety standards. Vismo’s Locate & Protect App covers both: it functions as an employee location tracking system and a fully featured lone worker monitoring app, operating through a single installation. Learn more about Vismo’s lone worker safety solutions.

Q: How does the Vismo app support lone worker check-in requirements?

A: The Vismo app includes a lone worker check-in feature that lets organisations schedule regular check-ins for employees working alone. If a worker misses a check-in, the system automatically escalates - alerting designated contacts or an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) so a welfare check can be initiated immediately. This directly supports UK lone worker duty of care obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

Q: What emergency alert features are included in the Vismo App?

A: The app includes a panic button, check-ins, countdown timers, geo-targeted risk alerts and automatic escalation. These tools allow employees to raise an alert quickly and ensure responders receive precise location information.

Q: How does the app support duty of care obligations for organisations?

A: The Vismo App supports duty of care by enabling constant visibility of employee locations, proactive risk alerts and auditable incident responses. It helps organisations meet travel safety and ISO 31030 requirements.

Q: Is there an employee GPS tracking app that works without a dedicated device?

A: Yes. The Vismo Locate & Protect App is an employee GPS tracking app that works on any standard iOS or Android smartphone. There is no need for a dedicated device - employees download the app to their existing phone, or organisations deploy it via MDM. Vismo does also offer dedicated satellite devices for environments where mobile coverage is unavailable.

Q: Can the Vismo app be used for mobile workforce tracking across multiple sites?

A: Mobile workforce tracking across multiple sites and countries is a core use case for Vismo. The Secure Portal displays all active users on a single map view regardless of location, and geofence alerts can be configured per site. For organisations with staff in remote or international locations, Vismo’s satellite device range complements the app where mobile coverage is limited.

Q: What staff tracking app options does Vismo offer?

A: Vismo’s staff tracking app - the Locate & Protect App - is available in multiple licence tiers to match the needs of different organisations. Licences range from basic location tracking to full emergency response and mass notification capabilities. View the licence options to find the right fit for your organisation’s headcount and use case.
