ForceWatch Beacon is a personnel monitoring application that helps employers provide duty of care in dangerous places. Users automatically check-in with their current location. In the event of an emergency, users can broadcast an alert and make VoIP phone calls to the call center. The responsible parties monitor users and communicate directly via voice, text, or email when questions, concerns, or safety issues arise. The application works world-wide, and is optimized for locations with poor cell phone coverage.
