In a significant milestone, Vismo and International SOS celebrated ten years of successful partnership. This collaboration highlights their shared commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of individuals during travel, particularly in challenging environments. The anniversary coincided with the impacts of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida, providing an opportune moment to demonstrate the effectiveness of their combined efforts.
During the hurricanes, the Vismo Locate & Protect App played an essential role in keeping users informed and safe. Through timely and precise intelligence updates, employees of clients received notifications urging immediate action, including changing travel plans if necessary. These advisories were crucial, as they were delivered through various channels such as SMS, email, Slack, and voice, to maximise reach even under difficult conditions.
Colin Dale, Vismo’s Global Sales Director, expressed satisfaction with the app’s performance, noting that it operated seamlessly with International SOS before, during, and after the hurricanes. He emphasised the app’s capability to function under extreme conditions, extending battery life and maintaining accuracy even with weak network signals.
Sally Wang, Group Vice President of Global Alliances & Partnerships at International SOS, highlighted the pivotal role the company plays in safeguarding mobile workforces. She underscored the significance of the decade-long partnership with Vismo in supporting organisations worldwide, ensuring their teams are prepared and informed in risky circumstances.
The partnership’s latest achievement is the integration of International SOS Advisories into the Vismo Secure Portal. This advancement, implemented before the hurricane season, enhances the platform’s capabilities by providing users with real-time updates and alerts, thus bolstering their preparedness for any emergencies they may encounter.
Colin Dale further noted the importance of these special advisories, viewing them as a vital step towards prioritizing client safety and security. He reassured that continued collaboration between Vismo and International SOS would lead to more improvements in emergency readiness in the years to come.
The decade-long partnership between Vismo and International SOS continues to enhance travel risk management, promising further advancements.
