Romex and Vocal announce partnership with iModus Locate launch

Romex, the Mobile Application Service Provider (MASP) is delighted to announce that they have formed a technology partnership with Vocal, a leading supplier of business continuity solutions, business critical messaging and emergency communications. This partnership sees the launch of a brand new element to Vocal's award-winning product suite, iModus Locate. This is an innovative new product that allows enhanced security for key employees or those employed in a 'lone worker' environment, through their existing mobile devices. iModus Locate allows compliance with lone worker regulations and employee safety legislation, allowing companies to protect their employees as well as their own liability.

Jason Laight, Managing Director for Romex said: "As one of the leaders in the industry of location aware software applications, we have partnered with one of the leading business continuity and communications specialists because it is clear that there is an increasing interest in this technology from white collar and blue chip companies.  Lone Worker Employee Management software solutions are a significant growth area and this fits with our UK and worldwide strategy."

Vocal have made iModus Locate as simple and effective as possible to make the task of protecting employees an easy one. No new hardware is required, iModus Locate simple installs itself on an employee’s existing mobile handset and runs 'silently', ready to protect when necessary at the touch of a button. When activated, iModus Locate instantly connects the device to a pre-determined number or a certified Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), providing guaranteed protection when needed.

Director of Vocal Trevor Wheatley-Perry, feels that this latest solution shows how Vocal continue to bring new solutions to its customers. "iModus Locate is a brand new part of Vocal's award winning product suite, bringing with it its own unique benefits. This company is constantly working with our customers to combine technological innovation with practical solutions and ideas that offer real value to our clients. This approach to innovation has meant that Vocal is recognised as an industry leader with an award winning track-record. Our policy of continuous improvement ensures that Vocal customers will always have access to the latest and most innovative solutions."

iModus Locate will be launched this quarter at a selection of events, allowing companies to see exactly how within minutes of silently installing this software on mobile devices, they can be connected to a dedicated ARC facility, wherever they are in the world.
