Common questions
How do I choose a lone worker device?
Work backwards from how the job actually goes wrong. Four things decide it: whether a phone can be relied on, whether the worker needs to raise an alarm without reaching for anything, whether they could be hurt and unable to act, and whether you need evidence afterwards. Coverage sits underneath all of them, because nothing works without a path to a responder.
Is an app enough, or do we need hardware?
An app is enough for many teams and it is the lowest cost by a wide margin. It stops being enough when a worker cannot get to their phone in the moment that matters, which is usually a confrontation, or when the phone cannot be relied on to be carried and charged. A wearable button is the control for that gap.
What about work with no mobile signal at all?
None of our devices work beyond cellular coverage; we have no satellite product. For genuinely off-grid work, a satellite-integrated tool or a satellite messenger is the right answer and we would rather tell you that than sell you something that will not raise an alarm where you need it.
Can we mix devices across a team?
Yes, and most organisations of any size do, because a community nurse and a night-shift storeperson have different problems. The licence and the monitoring are the same regardless of what the person carries.
Does the recommendation change what we get quoted?
No. This is a guide, not a quote, and nothing you answer is sent anywhere. Use the cost calculator for the number, or ask for a written quote if you want it on paper.
