Our solution is to provide the driver with a device which they keep on them at all times. In the event that they are suspicious about something or are subject to an incident which threatens them or the stock they are carrying, they will press a discrete red alert button on the device they have. This will then make an immediate discrete call to a monitoring station who will know who they are. Using GPS technology on the device the location can be fixed.
If required our monitoring operators can make an immediate call to the emergency services.
The benefit of our system is;
- Its Discrete, always at hand.
- it conveys the sound going on around the device to the monitoring centre
- The driver can activate even on the basis of suspicision.
- The monitoring centre can provide assurance and support to the driver
- If required, because of criminality, a request can be made for Police support
- The system provide support for your workers, meeting health and safety requirements
- The system provides a mechanism to protect your business from stock losses.
- The device also has 'man-down' functionality to react to medical or impact situations.
