PG Smart vs Strathclyde; Jump

PG Smart by Pick Protection is an easy to use lone worker application that contains proactive and reactive features built to protect lone and high risk workers. Your device must be registered on Pick Protection's system before you are able to set up the app (see www.pickprotection.com for more information). PG Smart is BS8484 accredited and works over a mobile or WiFi data connection. In the event of an emergency, the PG Smart Application allows you to raise an SOS alarm by pressing the alarm button for two seconds. This will open a 2-way audio connection allowing the monitoring centre to establish the appropriate course of action including escalating to the emergency services if appropriate. Disclaimer: PG Smart App requires continued background usage of location services to ensure accurate reporting of your location in an emergency which can decrease battery life.
