Know where your people are, only while they are working
While a worker is on shift, their phone shares its location about every 30 seconds, and every few seconds during an alert. Your office sees them on a live map, with their photo, battery level and when the phone was last heard from.
Location starts with the shift and stops when it ends. It is a safety tool, not surveillance, and the system is built so it stays that way.
The problems it solves
Finding someone quickly
In an emergency, "somewhere on the estate" is not good enough.
Gaps in coverage
Signal drops leave holes in a trail just when it matters.
Staff worry about tracking
Monitoring that feels like surveillance damages trust and invites pushback.
How it works
- 1
Starts with the shift
Tracking turns on when the shift starts and the app shows it is on.
- 2
Buffered when offline
With no signal, points are kept on the phone and sent oldest first when it reconnects, so the trail fills in.
- 3
Live map in the office
Each worker on shift appears as a pin with their photo. Alerts pulse red.
- 4
Stops with the shift
Ending the shift stops tracking. Points from outside a shift are discarded by the server.

Key benefits
- Every view is recorded. Each look at the live map or a past trail is written to an audit log.
- Sensible access. Responders see trails only for shifts in progress. Older history needs a supervisor or admin.
- Retention you set. Location trails are deleted after the period you choose, 90 days to start.

Frequently asked questions
Is location tracked outside working hours?
No. Location is collected only while a shift is open, and the app always shows when tracking is on.
How accurate is it?
It depends on the phone and surroundings. The console shows the accuracy reported by the phone, typically within a few metres outdoors.
What about battery life?
The app is tuned for a full shift and includes guidance for each Android maker’s battery settings.
