Many of your staff work alone, sometimes at night or in risky places. ChronoTrack includes an SOS button that instantly sends the manager the GPS position of the employee in trouble - by email and now by SMS (Premium plan), directly from the GPS clock-in page, with no dedicated hardware. Your lone workers are better protected, with nothing to install or carry.
From the clock-in screen, the employee triggers the SOS button. Within seconds, the manager receives an alert by email - and, on the Premium plan, also by SMS directly on their phone - with the staff member's identity and exact GPS position, to organize a fast response.
Employers have a duty of care towards their isolated staff. ChronoTrack's SOS feature provides a simple, reassuring answer, built into a tool your teams already use every day.
With the Premium plan SMS alert, protection goes even further: the manager is notified on their phone, even away from their inbox. If a lone worker is taken ill or assaulted, those minutes saved can make all the difference - and you only need to enter the managers' numbers in the app to activate it.
This is a manually triggered software alert feature, complementary to your prevention setup. It is not a certified hardware lone-worker device with automatic fall detection. For very high-risk roles, it complements a dedicated device.
French labor law places a general duty of safety on employers towards their employees. No article prohibits lone working, but the employer must identify it in their risk assessment and provide a way to raise the alarm if an employee is in trouble with no one around.
A guard alone at night, a caregiver at a client's home, a technician in a basement: in all these cases, the question is not whether an accident can happen, but how long it would take for someone to notice.
Dedicated lone worker devices require a purchase per staff member, a monitoring subscription and logistics for charging and replacement. It is justified for the most exposed roles, but it often leads to equipping nobody at all.
ChronoTrack's SOS alert is included in the subscription, with no hardware: it lives on the clock-in page your staff already use. It is not maximum protection, but it is real protection, rolled out to everyone, right away.
No, and we need to be clear about that. ChronoTrack provides neither automatic fall detection, nor no-movement detection, nor 24-hour human monitoring. It is a voluntary alert system: the staff member must be conscious and able to press the button.
If your risk assessment concludes that an approved lone worker device is needed, ChronoTrack complements it and does not replace it. For many companies, however, it fills the gap between “nothing at all” and heavy equipment that never gets deployed.
The button is on the screen the staff member already opens at every shift start, with no need to look elsewhere. There is no app to launch, no code to find, no object to carry - so nothing to forget in the locker room or the car.
The alert goes out immediately by email to the managers you have designated. It contains the staff member's identity, the site concerned, the time and above all their GPS coordinates at the moment of pressing, which open directly in a mapping app.
New - SMS alert (Premium plan): in addition to the email, every manager whose phone number is on file receives an SMS alert with the staff member's name, the site, the time and the link to their GPS position. The SMS arrives even without checking the inbox - invaluable when every minute counts.
The difference is concrete: instead of “a staff member has a problem somewhere on the site”, the manager has a precise point to send help to.
The SOS alert relies on the same mechanism as clock-in without an app: a QR code, a PIN, no software to install. It is therefore active from day one, including for temp workers and reinforcements.
It is used in particular by private security companies whose guards work night shifts and by home and personal services providers, whose caregivers visit clients' homes alone.
