Basic Features include: - HELP: alert with acknowledgement that “pings” your location to our Emergency Centre integration with 24/7/365 monitoring services and responders. - MESSAGING: Instant messenger style conversation tools for direct communications or mass notifications to provide information, guidance or support during an emergency. - MAPS: show major hospitals, police stations, embassies and “safe-haven” locations. - BLUETOOTH: simple integration with Bluetooth wearable and accessories. - DOCUMENTS: useful browser to view references such as health and safety advice, briefs and policy information. - INCIDENT LOGS: time-stamped for all location information and communication. Premium Features also include: - CHECK-IN and MONITOR ME: one-click track and trace to ensure employee welfare. - ITINERARY TRACKING: linked to your travel management company. - ALERTS: near real-time news and travel alerts as well as regional risk information. - LOCAL RISK INFORMATION: unlimited access to insights, risk information and intelligence with local emergency contacts, vaccinations, currency, local laws and religion. The management control platform connects many types of device across multiple networks to monitor people, places or things. We currently have over 200 device types (including phones, satellite devices, alarms and sensors) connected and communicating with the platform – clearly visible on a single map displaying locations, alerts and communications. Important: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
