Planning your pilot

Who is the free pilot for?

Businesses evaluating OnGuard with at least 15 lone workers. We discuss your team, work environment and response procedures before planning the pilot.

What is included in the supported pilot?

We configure your pilot, help onboard lone workers and response contacts, and provide full team training. Progress meetings with your team take place on days 7 and 14.

Does OnGuard work on both Android and iOS devices?

Yes, it is compatible with both.

When does the 30-day pilot begin?

Your 30 days begin after setup and training, when your team starts using OnGuard. That gives your team the full evaluation period in its working environment.

Alerts & Response

Are Geofences or Geozones supported?

Yes, the OnGuard system has extensive support to create and manage geofences. Both iOS and Android mobile versions of OnGuard utilize geofences for a variety of automations, including turning on monitoring, automatic check-ins, warnings for a specific area, reporting information and more.

Does OnGuard support Fall Detection?

Yes, fall detection is supported on iOS & Android.

Can I designate someone not on OnGuard to assist me?

Yes, you can add an external contact to receive call-down notifications via email, SMS, or phone calls from our Interactive Voice Response system at no extra cost.

What is a Call Down List?

A Call Down List is a sequence of contacts that are notified or called in a specific order. OnGuard Call Down lists are highly flexible, allowing you to include OnGuard users, external non-OnGuard contacts, or our 24/7 Call Center. You can customize the order of contact, as well as the type of notifications sent, which can include Automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) phone calls, emails, and SMS messages.

What happens when I tap Emergency/Panic?

The following actions occur simultaneously: - Alerts are raised to anyone logged into the Command Portal. - All co-workers in your group receive the Alert. - The Call-Down process begins, including emails, SMS, and IVR phone calls.

How does billing work?

All lone worker features are bundled into a single, competitively priced package. To initiate, please reach out to OnGuard Sales at sales@onguard.co or consult with your AT&T / FirstNet representative.

Can I be both an Administrator and a Lone Worker?
