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.
When a user scans a QR code at a Checkpoint using their mobile phone’s camera, this action can trigger a notification. Notifications can be sent to administrators or designated user groups for example, when someone enters or exits a secure location.
To enable this functionality, you’ll need to create a Checkpoint Event within the relevant Group’s settings.
