Checkpoints are specific physical locations marked with a QR code that can be scanned using the Vismo Locate & Protect app. These are typically placed at key areas such as building entrances and exits, high-risk zones, laboratories, or secure rooms. Scanning a Checkpoint allows users to log their presence at a location, helping to improve visibility, safety, and compliance across an organisation.
