We are pleased to announce a significant update to the Peoplesafe App for iOS, designed to enhance user safety and streamline workflows. This release includes several new features and improvements, focusing on automation, flexibility, and reliability.

Key Enhancements

Enhanced Check-In Timers (Subscription Required)

This feature introduces a new layer of safety by allowing users to set timed alarms directly linked to their working day.

How it works

Users can configure a Check In Timers to automatically trigger an alarm at the end of their working day. If the user fails to Check Out on time, an alert will be sent to the Peoplesafe Alarm Receiving Centre.

Benefits

• Provides an additional safety net, especially for lone workers or those engaged in high-risk activities.
• Offers greater flexibility in managing safety protocols, adapting to varying work schedules.
• Can be used in conjunction with Timed Activities.

iOS Shortcuts

We have integrated the Peoplesafe App with iOS Shortcuts, enabling users to automate key actions directly from their iPhones.

Examples of automations possible with an iOS Shortcut:

• Initiating a "Start Shift" or "End Shift" sequence.
• Starting a "Timed Activity" with a set duration using Siri voice activation
• Stopping "Activity Timers" on arrival at a destination.

Benefits:

• Saves valuable time by eliminating the need to navigate through the app for common tasks.
• Reduces the potential for false alarms by allowing for quick and efficient activation of safety protocols.
• Provides a personalised safety experience, allowing users to tailor shortcuts to their specific needs.
