Benefits
Features for Satellite Lone Worker Solutions
Provide staff with a means to signal for help in the event of an emergency no matter where they are, even when they are outside of radio and mobile range. Tracertrak can help you manage an emergency in-house or you can have an optional 24/7 monitoring service coordinate with search and rescue on your behalf (optional monitoring service is device dependent).
Check In Management
Tracertrak will monitor your lone workers in the field and watch out for missed “sked” check-ins. Tracertrak will alert you via the web based user console, email or SMS when one of your staff members misses their “sked”, so you can focus on the issues that really count.
Tracking
Tracertrak provides a variety of mapping tools to make locating your staff quick and easy. Search for individuals or groups, search on proximity to a job site or to other site, or even poll devices to request a location update (device dependant).
Send & Recieve Messages
Two way capable devices allow for two way text conversations between authorised users in the console and device users in the field. Communicate one-to-one or one-to-many with the ability to broadcast messages to groups of workers over satellite.
Geographical Compliance
Tracertrak enables you to demonstrate your workers are operating in areas where they are permitted to work. The system provides the tools to customise your mapping experience, such as setting up geofences around permitted or prohibited areas. You can also set up customer sites and upload your own custom map layers to display over the default map.
Group & Permissions Management
With an Enterprise Grade permissions management structure, you can ensure that users of the system see only those remote staff and system functions that are important to their job function.
Search and Rescue
Every Tracertrak account includes optional free access to professional search and rescue coordination services via GEOS. The GEOS International Emergency Response Coordination Center (IERCC) is a global Search and Rescue Coordination Center. GEOS works with official Search and Rescue (SAR) Agencies around the globe, and has successfully coordinated the rescues of thousands of people in need in over 198 countries and territories.
A GEOS connected Tracertrak account will send all SOS alarm notifications through to GEOS, who will attempt to contact the emergency contacts for the person whose device initiated the SOS. GEOS will seek to confirm a valid emergency, and then work with local emergency services based on the GPS location of the device to coordinate any necessary rescue efforts.

Industries That Use Tracertrak Lone Worker Safety Solutions
Government
Government organizations need to know that when workers are deployed into remote locations they are safe from harm and can easily call for help when needed. In addition to duty of care requirements for workers, government bodies need to know that their assets are operating how and where they are expected to be, so work can be done quickly and efficiently. Tracertrak provides monitoring, tracking and exception management alert solutions to allow government organizations to operate safely and effectively while reducing overall operating costs through efficiency.
Transport & Logistics
Tracertrak has solutions tailored for use by transport and logistics organisations – whether requirements are to know how far away a shipment is when a customer asks, or ensuring your drivers check-in at their scheduled time and have a SOS call signal that works wherever their journey takes them. Tracertrak’s exception management system takes the hassle out of continuous monitoring and can dramatically improve organizational efficiency.
Marine
There are countless solutions for vessel tracking - most of them expensive and impractical. Tracertrak lets you affordably and easily get notifications when necessary and see the location of your fleet anytime.
Energy
Whether it’s monitoring a remotely located sub-station from head office, being alerted to a re-closer being tripped, or automating ‘sked’ procedures to maximise remote worker safety – Tracertrak provides a variety of solutions suited to the needs of the energy and utilities industries to boost productivity and keep workers safe.
Oil & Gas
Tracertrak is tailor made to provide oil and gas companies with the solutions they need to keep track of their remote assets and keep their remote workers safe. There may be a requirement to monitor the status of a wellhead from head office that would otherwise take a day of traveling to inspect, or automatically monitor all ‘sked’ check-in procedures for remote workers – whatever it is, Tracertrak has it covered.
Forestry
With logging operations often located in some of the furthest reaching remote locations, forestry organisations need specific tools and solutions to keep track of valuable wood, personnel and equipment while also ensuring all OSHA requirements are exceeded. Whether it's keeping workers connected with SOS functions or simply reporting deliveries to the lumber mill from the loader, Tracertrak ensures maximum efficiency and safety.
Mining
Large, remote mine sites often have thousands of workers operating in potentially dangerous situations and many have extremely valuable plant and assets.
