## What is Ember by SnapGIS?

Ember is real-time team tracking and safety for businesses with people in the field. No hardware, no setup — download, invite your team, and go.

REAL-TIME GPS TRACKING
See every team member on a shared map. Movement type detection shows who's on foot, in a vehicle, or on a bicycle — no check-ins needed.

SOS ALERTING
One tap broadcasts your exact location to designated responders instantly. Built for lone workers and high-risk environments.

GEOFENCING
Save locations and get notified when team members arrive, depart, or exceed a set duration on-site. See everyone inside a location during emergencies.

ENCRYPTED MESSAGING
Send text and photo messages to individuals or groups. End-to-end encrypted, built into the app.

DIGITAL FORMS & CHECKLISTS
Vehicle inspections, safety reports, incident logs — configurable forms that work offline and sync automatically.

VEHICLE TRIP LOGGING
Track journeys using your phone's GPS. Trips, routes, and stops logged automatically — no hardware needed.

SATELLITE CONNECTIVITY
Integrates with Garmin inReach to extend tracking and messaging beyond cellular coverage.

PRIVACY FIRST
Users control when tracking is active. Set schedules, pause anytime. Location requests when tracking is off require explicit approval. Data is encrypted and never shared with third parties.

SPARK WEB DASHBOARD
Pair Ember with Spark — our web-based command centre for ops rooms. Real-time map, geofence management, location history, alerts, and forms — all from any browser.
