Increasingly, organisations have been looking at tools that will track their business travellers and give them extra security. Recent international events continue to emphasise the importance of security and safety for personnel.

Through the use of a GSM Mobile Phone, IDW Technologies provides a low cost non-GPS or GPS Personal Duress Monitoring and Tracking System. Personnel can be tracked and monitored via their GSM mobile phone and a real time map of all staff members can be instantly accessed from a web application.

Duress and emergency alarm features allow staff members to activate silent alarms in an emergency or duress situation. This alarm sends alerts via pre-set email addresses or SMS messages, which can be relayed back to a certified monitoring centre. It is here where trained operators implement a pre-determined action plan specially designed in conjunction with the client. The monitoring centres core business is emergency alarm tracking. This involves both personal duress tracking and alarm vehicle tracking.

The web application is available to staff with security access from any internet enabled computer. These staff members are able to verify all emergency alarms and track the person or vehicle in real time and relay messages to authorities.

Vehicle Tracking and Duress Monitoring can increase a company’s profile and increase employees nett confidence with their personal security.
