Vismo offers an expansive range of features to help organisations track, locate and protect their employees. We understand no one solution fits all. That's why we have curated our offer into four different licence options, enabling employers to pay only for the features they will use and are relevant for the potential risks faced, roles and locations.
Employee location tracking is the use of GPS, cellular or app-based technology to monitor the real-time whereabouts of staff during working hours. Unlike employee monitoring tools focused on productivity or screen activity, location tracking in Vismo’s context is a safety-first function designed to protect people working alone, travelling internationally, or operating in high-risk environments.
Modern employee tracking platforms like Vismo combine employee GPS tracking with real-time alerts, secure check-ins and mass notification to give security teams full visibility of their workforce. This applies equally to lone worker tracking in isolated domestic environments and remote employee monitoring for teams deployed across multiple international locations.
For organisations with mobile workforce tracking needs, field engineers, healthcare workers, aid organisation staff & corporate travellers. Staff location tracking gives HR and security teams the ability to locate, alert and assist employees the moment a situation develops.
Is it legal to track employee location in the UK?
Yes, with the right framework in place. Under UK GDPR and employee monitoring laws UK guidance, employers can use employee location tracking provided staff are informed of the monitoring, a legitimate purpose exists (such as safety or duty of care), and data is handled in line with your organisation’s privacy policy. Vismo’s platform is designed to support compliant, transparent workforce monitoring.
What is lone worker tracking and do I need it?
Lone worker tracking refers to monitoring the location and safety of employees who work alone or without direct supervision — from community nurses and security staff to field engineers and remote site workers. If your organisation has a duty of care to staff working in isolation, lone worker tracking devices and apps are one of the most effective ways to meet that obligation. Vismo’s Locate & Protect App functions as a lone worker tracking app as well as a full enterprise workforce safety platform.
What is the difference between employee tracking and employee monitoring?
Employee tracking in Vismo’s context refers specifically to real-time GPS location and safety status. Employee monitoring is a broader term that can include productivity monitoring, screen recording or computer activity tracking. Vismo does not provide productivity or surveillance monitoring — its platform is focused entirely on physical safety, location awareness and emergency communication.
Does Vismo work as an employee location tracking app?
Yes. Vismo’s Locate & Protect App is available on iOS and Android and functions as an employee location tracking app for organisations of any size. It provides real-time GPS location, SOS alerts, check-in scheduling and two-way communication all visible to security teams through the Vismo Secure Portal.
Can Vismo track remote and mobile employees?
Yes. Vismo is built for remote employee monitoring and mobile workforce tracking at scale. Whether staff are lone workers in the UK or travelling internationally, the platform provides continuous location visibility and emergency escalation, with satellite device options for areas without cellular coverage.
