Keeping employees safe in a changing world is more important than ever. With Vismo’s Locate & Protect App, you can track, support and protect staff in real time, whether they’re lone workers, international travelers, or teams in high-risk areas. Trusted by over 450,000 users worldwide, Vismo gives organizations peace of mind through instant alerts, secure check-ins and powerful mass notifications.
The app is built to help organizations track, locate and protect their workforce. Whether employees are traveling nationally or globally, or domestic lone workers, Vismo have a license type to suit their risk profile. Managing an incident such as terrorist attacks, severe weather warnings or just pre-warning staff of risks in their area is all possible and intuitive.
Vismo offers an expansive range of features to help organizations track, locate and protect their employees. We understand no one solution fits all. That's why we have curated our offer into four different license options, enabling employers to pay only for the features they will use and are relevant for the potential risks faced, roles and locations.
The Vismo Secure Portal enables managers or a security team to monitor the locations and safety of traveling or lone working employees on a live map and by receiving active alerts, in real-time, through the Portal.
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, traveling 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 organizations with mobile workforce tracking needs, field engineers, healthcare workers, aid organization staff & corporate travelers. 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 US?
Yes, with the right framework in place. In the US, employee location tracking is generally lawful provided staff are informed of the monitoring, a legitimate business purpose exists (such as safety or duty of care), and data handling complies with applicable federal and state privacy laws. Requirements vary by state — California, for example, imposes specific employee privacy protections under the CCPA, and several other states have introduced or are introducing similar legislation. Vismo's platform is designed to support transparent, policy-compliant workforce monitoring that can be configured to meet your organization's legal requirements.
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 field healthcare workers and security staff to field engineers and remote site workers. If your organization 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 US or traveling internationally, the platform provides continuous location visibility and emergency escalation, with satellite device options for areas without cellular coverage.
