Additional Features and Pricing Considerations

For many of our customers, the core features outlined above provide an appropriate level of protection, with easy management and reporting.

But not all businesses and roles are the same and some may require additional features. Take the time to look at your risk assessments and think about the following things which may affect price:

Do your employees work at height, do they work in an environment where there’s an increased risk of a slip, trip or fall, or do any of your employees have a health concern? If so, then an Incapacitation Alarm (or Man Down Alarm) is going to be a vital feature.
Do your employees work in areas where there is a poor cellular signal? e.g. rural locations, underground, steel-clad buildings, storage units etc? If so, you may need a device with WiFi-Calling. Take a look at our blog: How can Wi-Fi Calling enhance lone worker safety?
Would you like to use location information to facilitate efficient redeployment decisions or to track the progress of deliveries, for example? If so, then our Latest Location feature will provide you with the information you need via SoloProtect Insights.
Would you like to easily see who’s on- or off-shift at any point in time? Or do you need to know that your colleagues have made it home safely at the end of their working day? Working Status functionality would facilitate this.
Would your lone workers benefit from having one of our specially trained operators on the line with them while they complete an activity they deem to be high-risk? E.g. walking through a dark car park at night, locking up, or climbing a high ladder in poor weather. Ready2Talk ® would be the ideal solution in this instance.
Do your workers face a lot of social risks such as abuse, violence or aggression? If so, discretion will be paramount. In this instance, you may need a dedicated device such as the SoloProtect ID Touch rather than a mobile app.

Our lone worker specialists can help you to establish which features are necessary for your workers and their risk profile.
