Features and Benefits
Vismo's flexible approach to licencing allows you to deploy the features most appropriate to your staff, their hybrid working hours and any risk profile. The following is a snapshot of some of the main features often deployed to hybrid working staff. Click here for how Vismo licences are structured to meet your specific needs.
Wellbeing
Working from home can be isolating at times, therefore it is essential for organisations to check on their employees wellbeing. The Vismo Wellbeing feature can send a notification to ask employees how they are feeling, they can select 'Good', 'OK' or 'Not Good'. Employers can add options for an employee if they select 'Not Good' such as calling a helpline, requesting a follow up or remaining anonymous.
COVID-19 & Risk Feeds
Auto Geo-Fencing of designated home and office addresses can be overlaid with known Covid-19 cases data, allowing employers to best notify home working staff of corporate policy updates or key messaging if case data changes. Use in conjunction with risk feed data from Riskline or others.
Red Alert
If a hybrid worker has a need to raise an alert, notifications are instantly sent to the necessary teams through In App, Email, SMS and/or Phone Call. Audio is automatically recorded on the device when activated and sent back to the Vismo Secure Portal for security teams or 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre to understand the situation at hand.
Incident Management
When an incident occurs, locate your hybrid workers instantly within the vicinity of the impact area or close by. Use Incident Management as part of your action plan to help safeguard those at risk. Bolt-On options for the inclusion of a 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre are also available if you'd prefer to outsource incident management.
Mass Notification
Securely provide immediate & critical information to employees within a specific geographic area, a large group or to selected individuals. Find out employees safety status by using Vismo’s Notify end to end secure in-app messaging and deploy client defined user responses. A full audit trail of send, delivery and read is available. Additional costed options to send via SMS and/or automated voice are also available.
Privacy Mode
To protect privacy, home workers can enter Privacy Mode whilst still maintaining the Red Alert feature in cases of emergencies. Alternatively, Vismo's scheduled tracking capability can help you pre-define those hours or days when locating staff is important, and those that are not.
The Vismo App
To protect the safety of hybrid working employees, the Vismo App can be easily downloaded onto an individual's smartphones or tablet or alternatively, managed via your MDM. Once activated and based on licence type deployed, the Vismo App offers a number of features to better equip your employees and their safety.
Ease of use and highly optimsed location and battery performance are always key focal points but there's many more benefits to Vismo. The Vismo app has multiple features such as Red Alert which provides peace of mind for hybrid workers, knowing managers or 24/7 monitoring centre can be immediately alerted if an incident occurred. To accompany Vismo's built in features' we also work with Riskline, Dataminr and others to actively monitor and push geo-relevant intelligence feeds to quickly communicate details of high-impact events and emerging risks.
The Vismo Portal & Monitor App
The Vismo Secure Portal enables designated administrators or a 24/7 monitoring centre to respond to safety incidents raised by your lone workers. The Vismo Secure Portal is securely accessed via your web browser as well as through the Vismo Monitor App, available on iOS or Android smartphones.
Active Alerts
When a user activates the Red Alert, administrators are immediately alerted on the Vismo Portal and by SMS, Email or through the Vismo Monitor App, ensuring immediate support can be provided.
Incident Management
Should an incident occur, administrators and elected points of contact can view the incident area and identify any staff in the area on the Secure Portal and manage a prioritised response.
App Configuration
Depending on the Vismo licence deployed, organisations have options to change the look and feel of the Vismo App to make it specific to your organisation. A company logo can be uploaded, the tiles are interchangeable and company websites and numbers can be added.
The Monitor App
The Vismo Monitor App delivers notifications and alerts directly to your authorised administrators' mobile devices. All of the important details are displayed such as the users last known location, phone number, email address and an audio recording from when the alert was activated.
Monitoring Options
Vismo provides a completely client-flexible approach to the monitoring of lone, home or hybrid workers.
Many of our clients have the ability and/or desire to self-monitor their workers and to manage and respond directly to any incidents raised. Vismo is able to facilitate this approach by enabling the use of its Secure Portal directly within the client's monitoring centre or security department. Vismo is also able to offer an outsourced approach to 24/7 monitoring if that is preferred. For more details, click here.

Apps & Devices
​Choosing the right solution for your workforce will need to take account of the type of work they do, where they operate and the risks they may face. For many, the Vismo App will be the best and most flexible solution but if you’d rather not use Vismo’s highly optimised Apps, then consider Vismo’s range of dedicated, fit for purpose devices that are an alternative way to ensure employee safety can be monitored, no matter how remote the area is.
