How our PTT solutions can benefit field-based workers

Field-based employees need to stay in contact with colleagues while working across different locations. Storm’s communication, workforce management and lone worker solutions offer tools to support day-to-day coordination and help teams raise concerns when assistance is needed.

Keep field teams connected

Storm’s push-to-talk over cellular solution enables one-to-one and group voice communication at the push of a button. Workers can also share messages, images, videos and files, making it easier to exchange updates from the field.

Communication depends on suitable network connectivity. Teams should assess coverage in the locations where their employees work.

Coordinate tasks and record updates

Storm’s workforce management solutions include task creation and allocation, checklists, forms, incident reporting, and time and attendance features. These tools can help managers organise work and collect information from employees away from the office.

Support employees who work alone

Storm’s lone worker safety features include live location tracking, SOS alerts, man down alerting and keep-alive check-ins. Alerts can help a control room identify workers who may need assistance and coordinate a response. Emergency incident recordings can support reviews afterwards.

These features support an organisation’s safety procedures; they do not guarantee worker safety or legal compliance. Employers still need appropriate risk assessments, training and arrangements for responding to alerts.

Match the solution to your field team

For construction, utilities, transport and field-service teams, start by identifying who needs to communicate, how tasks and incidents are recorded, and which employees work independently. Discuss the required features, device suitability, connectivity and response procedures with Storm before choosing a setup.
