4. Deliver a seamless, scalable experience anywhere in the world

Managing lone worker safety across regions shouldn’t require multiple platforms, contracts, or logins. But with PeopleSafe and OK Alone operating as separate systems, that’s often the reality.

7. Frequently asked questions

Which platform is easier for lone workers to use?

StaySafe is often praised for its intuitive design and built-in onboarding tools. Unlike PeopleSafe’s older interface and device-based workflows, StaySafe is quick to learn and built to fit into a modern workday.

Do I need to buy extra devices with StaySafe

No. StaySafe runs on the smartphones your workers already use. PeopleSafe often includes separate devices, but they can be bulky, get lost, and require ongoing management.

How quickly can we roll out StaySafe’s Lone Worker App?

Most customers are fully operational within 24 hours. With no hardware to ship or configure, StaySafe gets your team protected fast. No delays, no complications.

What if my workers operate across multiple countries?

StaySafe offers a single app and contract with consistent UX globally. PeopleSafe and OK Alone still operate as separate platforms, which complicates cross-border deployments.

Isn’t PeopleSafe’s pricing lower?

It can look that way upfront. But many core features (like fall detection or driving mode) cost extra. StaySafe includes these in our base package, making our pricing more transparent and inclusive. Plus, around 70% of StaySafe customers self-monitor, so this pricing structure helps them avoid paying for services they don’t need.

What about coverage in remote areas?

StaySafe offers low signal mode and optional Garmin satellite integration for off-grid scenarios. PeopleSafe’s RoamSafe relies on switching mobile networks, which doesn’t help when no coverage exists. 

We already use devices from PeopleSafe, so why switch?

Devices come with hidden costs: logistics, replacements, upgrades. StaySafe simplifies safety with an adaptable app that updates remotely and scales effortlessly with your team.

What kind of support does StaySafe offer after go-live?

StaySafe provides in-app training, a robust Help Centre, and responsive support from real people, not just ticket queues. You’ll have expert guidance at every stage, not just during onboarding.

8. Now, ask yourself… 

  • “Are you still relying on extra devices when your workers already carry smartphones?” 
  • “Can your current lone worker solution keep someone safe if they’re completely out of signal?”
  • “How much time and effort does it take to get new users trained and fully protected on your lone worker safety solution?”
  • “Are you managing safety through multiple systems, contracts, or regions when one platform could do it all?”

If any of these give you pause, it’s time to re-evaluate what lone worker app can help you achieve.
