Vismo provides an extensive range of features and solutions to help organisations track, locate and ensure the safety of their teams - meeting their duty of care obligations under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. Recognising that every organisation has unique needs, we offer four different lone worker solution licence options tailored to specific requirements. This approach allows organisations to select only the features relevant to their staff and the risks they face, irrespective of their location.
Ideal for organisations requiring a Mass Notification solution that is quick to deploy and capable of sending messages based on actual geographic location as well as fixed addresses.
Includes all Notify features with the addition of Panic Alert, location sharing and check-ins.
If active tracking employees is required in addition to Mass Notification and alerting.
Global coverage, additional customisation and features.
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 ‘red 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.
The Vismo Locate & Protect App is easily deployed on smartphones and tablets, helping your security professionals monitor a team's whereabouts in relation to risks and incidents, and react quickly when required. The individual benefits from proactive notification of risk and is able to raise their own alert.
Vismo’s patented technology delivers high accuracy location fixes with minimal impact on battery performance. With the App running in the background of a device, it provides individuals with reassurance that assistance can be provided if a crisis occurs.
What is the difference between the four licence options?
Each licence builds on the previous one. Notify provides mass notification and geo-targeted alerts. Alert adds panic alerting, check-ins, and location sharing - making it the entry-level lone worker alarm system. National adds live GPS tracking and geofencing for the UK. Global extends this worldwide with custom branding and intelligence feed integration. All licences run on the Vismo Locate & Protect App and connect to the Vismo Secure Portal.
What lone worker system does the National licence provide?
The National licence is Vismo’s full lone worker system for UK-based organisations. It provides live GPS location tracking, breadcrumb history trails, task assignments, and geofencing - giving administrators complete real-time visibility of their teams. It builds on the panic alert and check-in features of the Alert licence, adding the lone worker GPS tracking layer that organisations in high-risk sectors require.
What lone worker software does Vismo offer?
Vismo’s lone worker software is the Locate & Protect App, operating under one of four licence tiers. Unlike standalone apps, Vismo’s licenced platform connects the app to the Vismo Secure Portal and, where needed, the Vismo Monitor App - giving security teams a full management and response layer, not just an alerting tool.
What is lone worker protection and what does UK law require?
Lone worker protection refers to the policies, technology, and processes an employer puts in place to fulfil their duty of care to employees working without direct supervision. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers are legally required to ensure - so far as is reasonably practicable - the safety of all staff. Learn more about Vismo’s approach to lone worker safety.
What is a lone worker device and when is one needed?
A lone worker device is dedicated hardware - separate from a smartphone - used to monitor and protect employees in environments where mobile coverage is limited or where a discreet, rugged device is preferable to a phone. Vismo offers both a software-based lone worker safety device solution (the Locate & Protect App) and a range of purpose-built satellite devices for teams working in remote or off-grid locations.
Can Vismo’s licences support emergency response?
Yes. All four licences include mass notification capability, and the Alert, National, and Global licences add panic alerting, location sharing, and escalation workflows for emergency response. Organisations that need a 24-hour monitored response can complement any licence with Vismo’s 24/7 monitoring options.
Does Vismo support lone worker protection for travel security?
Yes. The Global licence is designed for organisations deploying staff internationally - combining worldwide GPS tracking, intelligence feed integration, and encrypted messaging. This makes it Vismo’s primary solution for travel security and duty of care for business travellers, field teams, and NGO staff operating in high-risk regions.
Choosing the right solution for your workforce will depend on the type of work your team do, where in the world they operate and the risks they may face.
For many, the Vismo App will be the best and most flexible solution. If you’d rather not use Vismo’s highly optimised Apps, or if your team operate where there is no cellular coverage then consider Vismo’s range of dedicated, fit for purpose devices that are an alternative way to monitor individuals’ safety, no matter how remote the area is.
