Connexion2 has released an updated version of its lone worker management platform, ‘MWMP’.
It offers an updated user-interface for use on desktop PCs, laptops and tablet devices. The tool is designed for the management of lone workers across remote locations and offices. It also serves to further connect the disciplines of workforce management, with lone worker protection, in a package for managers to co-ordinate personnel and respond to new information. Lone workers with a GPS enabled Identicom device or Identicom mobile application on a smart-phone, can now share information about their activities across their team or lone worker community.
Customers thus can use a mixture of Identicom devices across a team that are appropriate to the level of risk, or job function and integrate them with MWMP as part of lone worker services from SoloProtect. This allows teams of workers to be supplied with a package that includes devices, 24/7 alarm monitoring support and training for users. Updated on this version of the platform is the reporting options available to the lone worker manager – information can be accessed to streamline the process of reporting around remotely-based staff.
The Identicom lone worker device continues to be manufactured by Connexion2 in the UK and is employed across a range of user applications and industry sectors. Designed mainly to reduce the impact of worker accidents and instances of verbal abuse and attack directed at lone workers – Identicom was the first device of its kind to be awarded ‘Secured by Design’ status from ACPO and can be supplied as part of a British Standard, BS8484 solution.
What’s new to MWMP?
– the new ‘Dashboard function’ lets a user get quick and accurate reporting on device utilisation by viewing a single page. This includes details of check-in status, the number of status checks, GPS positions logged, and details of speeds being travelled.
– a manager can use the ‘checker-board’ to view up to date information on who is currently working and when they were last in communication with the platform. It also allows users in the field to be filtered by their device type or a range of device status options including, Checked In or Out, Location Tracking On or Off, Low Signal, Low Battery, Moving or Not Reporting among others.
– Lone workers can now play a larger role in supplying information across the platform. The ability to upload pictures regarding job notifications or criminal activity, tagging of specific risks, or the highlighting of points of interest to share with others – the platform has moved away from simple tool for a lone worker manager and is now a point of reference for a lone worker community.
– multiple ‘breadcrumb-trails’ of worker movements can now be displayed on a single map view.
Craig Swallow, Managing Director of Connexion2, said: “The updated MWMP represents a genuine progression in terms of what the platform can deliver to improve operations for a business employing lone workers. The power to share information with colleagues has dramatically increased and new reporting options provide managers of lone workers a multitude of options thereby dramatically reducing their reporting burden around mobile workers.”
