New Low-Cost App Vizit Gives Lone Workers a Simple Safety Net for £2.99 a Month

Every day, carers, estate agents, tradespeople, delivery drivers and nurses walk into homes, empty properties and unfamiliar places on their own. Many have no one keeping track of where they are or when they should be finished. Dedicated lone-worker systems exist, but they are often built for large employers and priced to match, which leaves the self-employed and small teams without cover.

Before going into a visit, a job or a meeting alone, the user sets a finish time. When they're done, they check in. If they go quiet and the time runs out, Vizit prepares a text message to their chosen contact with their location, ready to send with one tap. There is no account to create and the visit details stay on the user's own phone. Vizit does not call emergency services.

There's nothing to download from an app store and no special hardware. Vizit runs in any phone browser at https://vizit.grok.me. The first 3 visits are free, then it's £2.99 a month, with no contract.

"I built Vizit because a lot of people who work alone are simply relying on luck," said Alex Leckie, Founder of Vizit. "Most of the time nothing goes wrong, but when it does, the worst thing is that nobody knows you need help. Vizit is a simple backup so someone always knows when you should be back, and it's priced so anyone can afford it."

In an emergency, users should always call their local emergency number straight away.
