Vismo is a global mobile tracking solution which tracks individuals around the world using an application installed on their smart phone. It turns their phone into a wireless tracking device with panic-button capability enabling your security team to track, protect and respond to employees as they travel to higher-risk areas of the world. You can use Vismo to show the latest position of any employee in the vicinity and perform on-demand GPS location fixes.
Vismo allows you to get regular GPS locations direct to a secure web platform as well as view current locations and historical trails together with battery life and signal strength. Each smart phone has a panic button which triggers E-mail and SMS alerts in real time to key contacts and covert audio recording. Once the “panic alarm” is raised, the appropriate action can be taken based on the dialogue we have with the individual through our Alarm Response Centre.
Using powerful and precise location technology that enhances the user experience
