Blackline looks out for mobile workers with LonerMobile
Alas, it’s not a car. LonerMobile is a new Blackberry application by GPS developers BlackLine, announced today at WES. While it might not provide transportation for those in need of social assistance, it could very well save some lives. LonerMobile is intended to keep lone workers safe when they’re out in the field by transmitting status messages and GPS coordinates back to their employers. If the worker doesn’t respond to a check-in request or suddenly loses device communication, their employer is alerted and can pull up their last known locations for the rescue party.
BlackLine hasn’t updated their site yet, but information should be up soon.
