How does employee localization work?
Portable GPS devices with long-lasting batteries or applications that convert
smartphones into GPS can be used to locate employees.

possibility of pressing the panic button in an emergency.
Most portable GPS devices intended for monitoring or locating employees are designed for use in your pocket. Although they can be used inside a briefcase, backpack, bag, etc.
Likewise, GPS devices can be placed in the collaborator’s car or smartphone.
