Leader in Lone Worker Safety Announces Complete Overhaul of Its Portal to Deliver a Smarter Customer Engagement Platform

Sheffield, United Kingdom – SoloProtect, the international lone worker company, launched its customer engagement platform in December 2017. “SoloProtect Insights” will revolutionize how customers implement, manage and analyze lone workers, devices and applications. The platform is a key part of SoloProtect’s product roadmap, and will continue to evolve and underpin all SoloProtect lone worker products throughout 2018 and beyond.

SoloProtect Insights is a fully responsive, online portal. It provides exclusive, relevant information and real-time metrics to assist planning, implementation, and ongoing solution management. Designed for ease of use, Insights utilizes a sleek and intuitive user interface, and affords a manager or administrator greater control, flexibility and speed of change-implementation. It’s also a platform for end-users to access online training and customer support.

SoloProtect Insights will be available to all SoloProtect customers at no additional cost – supplied as a core supporting function of the solution. Designed to deliver content-rich information quickly and with security in mind, all requests within the platform will use HTTPS using SSL for secure data transfer in line with industry standard.

John Broady, CEO for SoloProtect commented:

“Delivering SoloProtect Insights has been a huge milestone for the company, and we’ve strived to deliver an end-product to delight our customers. We believe Insights will do that and more – it provides a streamlined customer experience that delivers great support, user-adoption and better engagement.”

SoloProtect has delivered comprehensive lone worker protection since 2003 and is now helping employers protect their lone working staff in over ten countries. The company, which has now supplied in-excess of 250,000 dedicated lone worker devices to date, will be announcing several exciting new lone worker solutions in 2018.
