Vismo Global Tracking Solutions has launched an upgrade of Vismo, a tracking portal and mobile tracking app that integrates with the portal and can be used on smartphones, tablets, personal GPS trackers and satellite devices. The new version of Vismo includes intuitive search for user location, points of interest, geo-fences and places – all accessed by administrators via a single search bar.
Colin Dale, Director of Global Sales, Vismo Global Tracking Solutions, says: “Our focus with this iteration of Vismo has been on making it the future of personal safety, however much at-risk or remote users are in the world. We’ve therefore worked hard on improving security of user data, enhancing location accuracy and maximising user experience. With the app that means a more consistent, unified and cohesive user experience. This launch demonstrates our long-held commitment to use the latest technologies, including our own patented tracking technology, to improve location accuracy and security of users and their data.”
There are two versions of the app. The Vismo Global Traveller App and has been in use by businesses and others since launch in 2012, typically Fortune and FTSE companies and NGOs. The new, upgraded version allows employers to personalise the interface to specific requirements including using their own branding. As for incident management, live incident feeds into the platform mean users within an affected area are automatically identified and notified via mass notifications. Within the Traveller App, users can respond to notifications with their relevant safety status, which is sent to the portal for operations teams to act on.
The Vismo Lone Worker App, unveiled at the trade show Global Security Exchange (GSX), in Chicago in September, helps offers yellow alert timed check-ins, assignments and location history.
Now dashboards allow administrators to customise what is viewed on a map. The dashboards can be configured to show an app user or groups of app users, incidents, locations and map types. Dashboards let administrators access relevant users, locations and information to monitor their employees, saving time in an emergency, the developers say.
A “Point of Interest” can be added to a location on a map’s dashboard to help administrators gain a deeper understanding of a traveller’s location should an emergency arise. A POI can be anything, whether offices or a shop. It is a point on a map, with a radius around it of the administrator’s choosing – 50m, 100m, ten miles or more.
