Transport & logistics safety, built for Australia.
Drivers, depot staff, and field service teams. Wherever your people work alone, Duress goes with them.
Used by VicRoads, Tip Top and Kaefer across Australian transport, logistics and field services.
The risks transport & logistics teams already know.
- 01 Long-haul drivers in remote areas
- 02 Depot incidents after-hours
- 03 Roadside breakdowns and altercations
- 04 Multi-state operations needing one platform
- 05 Reception blackspots on rural routes
What transport & logistics buyers care about.
The decisions our customers in this segment tested us against before they signed.
-
Driver ID and journey log.
Eagle pairs the device to the driver at the start of each journey. Every alert tagged with driver, vehicle, route. Chain-of-custody evidence for fatigue, journey, and incident audits.
-
HVNL and Chain of Responsibility.
Fatigue flags, journey logs, and incident records satisfy NHVR Chain of Responsibility evidence requirements. Quarterly compliance pack ready to forward to the regulator.
-
Remote coverage.
4G with satellite fallback. Drivers stay covered through gaps in cellular coverage on long-haul routes, mining sites, and remote operations.
-
Mandown and impact.
Accelerometer-driven mandown, fall, and impact alerts. Critical for owner-drivers and crews who work alone overnight. Audited under WHS lone-worker controls.
Where Duress earns its place on a transport & logistics shift.
Each scenario maps to a Duress product and to an outcome we can show in the audit log.
-
Eagle ›A long-haul driver on a regional route at 2am.
Eagle on the dash with Iridium satellite when 4G fades. Live breadcrumb to dispatch, SOS reaches an operator in seconds. Even on the parts of the network map marked blank.
-
Falcon ›A depot worker after the gates close.
Falcon on the wrist with indoor positioning across the yard. Fall detection auto-escalates if they're knocked down between trailers. Dispatch knows which bay before they're out of the office.
-
App ›A roadside breakdown at sunset.
Duress App on the phone in the driver's pocket. Slide-to-alert if a stop turns hostile, live audio to operators, local police routed to the exact GPS pin.
-
Falcon ›A field-service technician at a remote site.
Falcon plus Safety Timer on the climb in. If the tech doesn't cancel within the configured window, alerts escalate automatically. No requirement to remember to check in if everything is fine.
-
Eagle ›A driver-ID handoff at shift change.
Eagle pairs to each driver's Duress App at the start of the trip. Journey logs attribute to the right driver. Chain-of-responsibility evidence is automatic, not reconstructed from logsheets.
-
PathfinderEnd-of-quarter HVNL audit.
Pathfinder produces the journey log, fatigue-flag log, driver-ID assignments, and activation history. Compliance evidence ready to forward to the regulator without anyone going through paper sheets.
An answer for every reviewer on your transport & logistics deal.
Different roles will have different questions. Pick yours.
Your primary concern is that workers are protected, incidents are documented, and your safety management system meets regulatory expectations. Duress addresses each: real-time visibility across your team, automatic incident logging, and a technology control that satisfies the hierarchy of controls under the WHS Act.
From minutes to seconds.
Buddy calls and manual check-ins leave response gaps measured in minutes. Duress triggers operator response averaging 7 seconds with live video, audio, and GPS.
Auditable due diligence.
A complete record of every safety interaction, alert, and check-in. Documented proof of a systematic, technology-based approach to lone-worker protection.
No IT project required.
Deploys via email invitation. No servers, no infrastructure changes. Your team is protected within days of signing, not months.
Real-time dashboard.
Every worker's status, location, and check-in in real time. Full incident history for quarterly WHS reviews and board reporting.
Your concern is whether this expenditure is justified and what the financial exposure looks like if you don't proceed. The math is straightforward: one preventable incident costs more than the entire platform.
Predictable total cost.
All-inclusive subscription: hardware, software, monitoring, SIM, onboarding, customer success. No hidden fees. Annual invoicing. Pricing locked for the term.
Zero upfront capital.
Hardware billed once upfront. Software per device per month. No surprise capex. Opex-friendly. NFPs stack a 5% discount on both.
Reduced liability profile.
A documented technology-based safety system demonstrates reasonable practicability under WHS legislation. Reduces incident exposure and indirectly insurance premium.
Measurable cost avoidance.
One avoided incident, one reduced workers compensation claim, two fewer resignations: the platform pays for itself within the first year.
Your concern is data sovereignty, integration complexity, and security posture. Duress is a standalone system: no integration with your infrastructure, no access to your network, no changes to your security environment.
Zero integration required.
Devices connect via 4G. App connects over TLS 1.3. No VPN, no firewall exceptions, no Active Directory integration. SAML 2.0 / SCIM available if you want SSO.
Regional data hosting.
AU on AWS Sydney. UK on AWS London. NZ data agreement under Privacy Act 2020. US on AWS Virginia. ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified. No cross-region replication without consent.
99.9% uptime SLA.
Contractual SLA. Dual-redundant monitoring centre. Offline device capability: devices trigger alerts even without data connectivity.
Central device management.
Provision and manage all devices centrally. Remote wipe. RBAC. Full audit log. SAML 2.0 / Azure AD / Okta / Google Workspace SSO available.
Your concern is strategic alignment and reputational risk. Under the WHS Act, officers carry a personal duty of care. A serious incident that could have been prevented with available technology is not just a financial exposure, it is a governance failure.
Personal duty, discharged.
A documented technology-based safety system removes a foreseeable, addressable risk from your organisation's governance profile. Defensible at board level.
People first, visibly.
92% of Duress-protected workers report increased confidence and safety. A tangible commitment to your people with measurable impact on engagement and retention.
No cross-department dependencies.
No IT project. No infrastructure change. Predictable annual invoicing. Operational from week two. The procurement path is short.

Maps to the acts your auditors quote in Australia.
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (Cth) and state mirror legislation
Australian transport operators carry a WHS duty of care, with the additional Chain of Responsibility obligations under the Heavy Vehicle National Law and route-specific obligations under the Rail Safety National Law and aviation/maritime frameworks. Duress provides the activation log, driver-ID attribution, and incident-response trail each scheme expects in an investigation.
- Heavy Vehicle National Law (and state equivalents in WA/NT)
- Rail Safety National Law
- Civil Aviation Safety Regulations 1998
- Safe Work Australia: Workplace violence and aggression. Code of Practice

From contract to live in your transport & logistics team.
Three weeks is the standard. Faster paths exist for urgent deployments.
- 01
One depot, two routes.
Start with a single depot. Pair Eagle to two crews running typical routes. Run a fortnight, capture baseline data on fatigue events, incident frequency, response times.
- 02
Roll the fleet.
Distribute devices to remaining crews. Connect Pathfinder to your existing TMS / telematics. Train ops managers on the journey log and fatigue dashboard.
- 03
Compliance cadence.
Monthly fatigue review. Quarterly NHVR Chain of Responsibility evidence pack. Annual regulator briefing supported with real journey log data.
What transport & logistics buyers ask before signing.
Does Duress help with Chain of Responsibility compliance?
Can owner-drivers and sub-contractors be covered?
Does it integrate with our existing telematics or fleet management?
What about the parts of the country where 4G has no signal?
Can different agencies / customers see different driver pools?
Will deployment slow down our roll-out of new trucks or vans?
