YORK, U.K. - eTradeWire -- Vismo has expanded its satellite-based offerings for customer employee safety with the Garmin inReach Messenger. The compact, rugged satellite communicator provides two-way messaging and interactive SOS capabilities – and now, thanks to the Vismo Locate & Protect App, a wider range of features to help safeguard employees in challenging and remote locations.

The features, enabled by integrating the Garmin device with Vismo's back-end operations, include panic alert, geo-fencing, mass notification and enhanced tracking. Ensuring constant connectivity and reliable communication, the Vismo-Garmin inReach Messenger approach to heightened safety extends to where there is poor or no network/cellular coverage.
