With the Vismo Monitor App, your Security Team or designated administrators can easily stay informed about alerts related to potentially threatening events involving your travelling or lone working employees - even when they are away from their desks. It is Vismo’s mobile lone worker monitoring app and employee safety app for the people responsible for responding when something goes wrong.
This powerful app provides essential information to enable swift action in critical situations. Offering immediate access and a user-friendly interface, it empowers organisations to closely monitor and respond to alerts, prioritising employee safety.
The User Search feature allows administrators to search for an employee by name or email address within the App to see their last known location, without the need to log into the Vismo portal on a laptop or computer. The location address, time, coordinates and what3words will be displayed as well as an option to contact the employee directly.
Employees raise alerts using the Vismo Locate & Protect App. The Red Alert feature acts as a lone worker alarm app trigger - activated easily if an employee finds themselves in a high-risk situation. The alert immediately notifies security teams or managers through an in-app message on the Vismo Monitor App.
All important details are displayed: the individual’s last known location on the map, the time and date the alert was activated, their phone number and email address, and immediate access to an audio recording from when the alert was activated. The administrator can press the number to directly call the individual from the app - turning a lone worker protection app alert into a live conversation in seconds.
Administrators can set up biometric authentication - fingerprint sensors or Face ID - to securely open the app on their mobile devices. This optional but highly recommended feature protects sensitive employee location and alert data while ensuring administrators can access the app instantly when a lone worker monitoring app alert arrives, without delays caused by manual authentication.
The Vismo Monitor App is the administrator-facing companion to the Vismo Locate & Protect App. While the Locate & Protect App is carried by employees and used to raise alerts, the Monitor App is used by security teams, managers, and GSOCs to receive those alerts and respond - wherever they are.
Together, the two apps form Vismo’s complete lone worker safety app platform: the employee raises an alert on one device, and the administrator receives it instantly on another. The Monitor App gives that administrator everything they need to act - last known location, contact details, time of alert, and an audio recording from the moment the alert was triggered.
Key capabilities of the Vismo Monitor App:
Instant panic alert reception with location, contact details, and audio recording
User Search - find any employee by name or email to see their last known location without logging into the portal
Alert acknowledgement - mark alerts as being handled to prevent duplication across the response team
Biometric authentication (Face ID / Touch ID) for secure, fast access
Direct call function - call the employee directly from the alert screen
Available as part of the Alert, National, and Global licence tiers
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 the employee-facing companion to the Monitor App. It optimises location services on smartphones and tablets to understand an employee’s whereabouts in relation to risk and to assist their employer in the event of an incident. Together, the two apps form a complete lone worker solutions app - one for the worker in the field, one for the team keeping them safe. Highly optimised for accurate locations with minimal battery impact; deployment is simple and quick, even for employees already abroad.
For teams operating in areas without mobile coverage, Vismo’s satellite devices provide an alternative location feed into the same monitoring infrastructure.
What is the Vismo Monitor App and who is it for?
The Vismo Monitor App is a lone worker monitoring app designed for security teams, managers, and GSOCs - the people responsible for responding when an employee raises an alert. It receives panic alerts from the Locate & Protect App and displays the employee’s last known location, contact details, and an audio recording from the time of the alert. It is the administrator-facing half of Vismo’s complete lone worker safety platform.
What is the difference between the Vismo Monitor App and the Locate & Protect App?
The Locate & Protect App is carried by the employee - it is the lone worker safety app that enables them to share their location and raise a panic alert. The Monitor App is used by the administrator or security team who receives that alert and coordinates the response. Both are required for a complete lone worker monitoring app setup - one app per role.
Does the Monitor App work as a lone worker alarm app?
Yes. The Monitor App receives all alerts triggered by employees using the Locate & Protect App, including the Red Alert (panic) function, missed check-ins, and man-down triggers. It functions as a lone worker alarm app for the response side - displaying the alert with full context (location, time, audio) and enabling the administrator to acknowledge the alert, preventing duplication across the team, and call the employee directly.
What lone worker protection app features does Vismo provide?
Vismo’s lone worker protection app functionality spans both the employee-facing Locate & Protect App and the administrator-facing Monitor App. Protection features include: real-time GPS location tracking, scheduled check-ins with automatic escalation, man-down detection, panic alerting, biometric authentication, and direct call from the alert screen. For organisations requiring 24/7 coverage, these features are complemented by Vismo’s outsourced monitoring options.
Can the Monitor App be used for travelling employee safety?
Yes. The Monitor App is specifically designed for organisations with employee travel safety app requirements. It works wherever the administrator’s smartphone has a connection - giving security teams and managers the ability to monitor and respond to alerts from employees in any country. For employees operating in locations without mobile coverage, Vismo’s satellite devices feed location data into the same alert infrastructure. Learn more about Vismo’s approach to travel security.
What employee safety app options does Vismo offer for administrators?
For administrators, Vismo offers the Monitor App (mobile) and the Vismo Secure Portal (web browser). Both receive the same alerts and location data - the choice depends on whether the administrator is desk-based or mobile. Many organisations use both: the portal for the primary security operations function, and the employee safety app for on-the-go responders. View Vismo’s full range of monitoring options.
Which licence tier includes the Vismo Monitor App?
The Vismo Monitor App is available on the Alert, National, and Global licence tiers. The Notify licence (entry-level) does not include the Monitor App as it is focused on outbound mass notification rather than inbound alert response. If your organisation needs individual-level monitoring and alert response capability, the Alert licence is the minimum recommended tier.
Does the Monitor App support emergency response?
Yes. The Monitor App is a core component of Vismo’s emergency response capability. When an employee raises a panic alert, the app instantly notifies designated administrators with everything needed to initiate a response - location, contact details, and audio. Administrators can acknowledge the alert, call the employee directly, and coordinate with the Vismo Secure Portal for a full incident management view. For 24/7 coverage, the same alerts can be routed to Vismo’s monitoring partners.
