Track lone workers

The app from Safe Apps works on iPhone, Android and BlackBerry and offers a wide range of functions including a panic button, working session expiry and low battery warnings, GPS tracking, inactivity and duress alerts. If an employee activates the app’s panic button or fails to check in, alerts are automatically triggered on screen and via text and email, allowing an employer to take immediate action. Monitoring can be done in-house via an online hub or outsourced to Securitas who offer 24/7 monitoring and response services. 

StaySafe operations director Jeff Carroll said: "StaySafe takes advantage of smartphone technology across the leading platforms with apps for both the B2B and B2C markets. The business is focused entirely on protecting lone workers across a wide range of sectors as well as lone persons."

Staysafe Business has been announced as a finalist in the Mobile App category of the Surrey Digital Awards. The awards look to reward progressive thinking by businesses across the county. They focus on digital media which demonstrates first class conception, design and user experience, with real innovation. The winners will be announced at a ceremony on 5th March 2015.
