red24 TravelTracker to be released to the UK market

Press

Global security services provider red24 is to unveil its new corporate security service, an online travel management system called TravelTracker. The service has been successfully trialled with a few select clients and is expected to be released to the wider UK market in mid-March this year. TravelTracker is designed to improve the monitoring of employees travelling abroad and, as a result, to enable security and HR managers to manage resources more effectively.

What exactly is TravelTracker?

TravelTracker is an online application that allows organisations to access employee travel data easily through the user-friendly interface. Individuals or groups of individuals can be searched for in real time by inputting details, such as name, location, carrier, hotel, organisation, etc. In addition, red24’s range of security advice and response services, including travel briefings, email and text alerts, physical response and repatriation in the event of an emergency, are accessible at any time.

Why would an organisation need a product like this?

TravelTracker can help mitigate the ever increasing risks employees face when travelling abroad. Firstly, if an employee has to travel to a high-risk destination, TravelTracker will ensure that the organisation is warned ahead of time of this risk and will send detailed advice to the travelling employee. The security or HR manager will also be informed and will therefore be able to verify the appropriate security procedures are in place. Secondly, should a serious security situation develop abroad, the organisation will be alerted immediately. If they have employees at that destination, they can recognise exactly who they are and red24 will be able to assist in responding quickly and effectively.

Simon Weaver, spokesperson for red24 TravelTracker, commented:

“Being able to track employees throughout the world gives our clients the peace of mind they need – in the event of a threatening situation abroad, help is at hand.”

Further benefits are available in the form of online security advice and telephonic assistance. Via the TravelTracker application, you will be able to unlock a host of features giving you up-to-date corporate security advice for over 185 countries worldwide. This information can prove invaluable to any organisation that has employees travelling abroad regularly.

The expert advice from red24 covers many different security-related issues, including terrorism, crime, civil unrest and political instability. You can also access important emergency contact information should it be needed.

On demand services can be utilised on an ad hoc basis and include tailored travel reports and security alerts, delivered via email or SMS. These proactive services can help make you aware of possible risks or problems and offer specific advice before your staff encounters any danger. Finally, access to round-the-clock telephone assistance is available should immediate assistance be required.
