Companies rely on Neovigie to reach their workplace safety goals. VigieApp is simple to deploy and easy to use, with no hardware to buy.
VigieApp handles up to 10 types of alarm events. Each one is configured separately to fit the job of every lone worker.
A single panic button allows users to trigger a manual alarm. Pressing the button sends immediate SOS alerts to designated contacts or supervisors. The VigieTouch Bluetooth button enhances accessibility by enabling alarm activation without unlocking the smartphone.
The Neovigie platform provides true positive safety by checking the smartphone's status at all times. If the connection is lost, a loss-of-connection alarm is triggered automatically.
An AI algorithm uses the smartphone's accelerometer data to detect a fall. No-motion alerts complement it if the worker stays still too long.
The app detects a lack of motion after a configurable time delay, a feature also known as 'no motion alerts' in lone worker safety systems, complementing the fall detection feature for comprehensive safety coverage.
Configure GPS zones and associate alarm events with risk zones. An alarm is triggered if a user enters a predefined hazardous area, highlighting the importance of monitoring hazardous areas. This geofencing capability is part of the app’s comprehensive location monitoring for lone workers, helping ensure their safety in real time.
Define safe zones on a map or floor plan and raise an alarm when a worker leaves them.
Initiate a countdown, known as a timed session, that enhances lone worker safety by triggering an alarm in the absence of user interaction. This feature is particularly useful for managing white zones with limited network coverage and is especially valuable for lone workers operating in high risk situations.
Enable employees to check in and share their location. Regular check ins, safety check ins, and periodic check ins—customizable to fit specific schedules—are essential features for monitoring lone workers’ well-being and ensuring timely emergency response. Supervisors can monitor checkpoints regularly, maintaining contact and ensuring assistance in case of emergencies through automated check-ins.
Ensure maximum safety with VigieApp’s versatile alarm transmission capabilities. Alarms triggered through the app can be dispatched across multiple channels simultaneously, ensuring no emergency goes unnoticed.
Key Features:
Stay Connected, Stay Safe.
Leverage VigieApp’s robust alarm dispatch system to protect your lone workers through every channel, ensuring comprehensive and reliable communication during emergencies.
Deploy quickly and start reaping the benefits of enhanced safety and protection right away—our rapid setup helps your organization save time on safety management.
Fast deployment:
VigieApp can be installed on lone workers' smartphones as soon as their account is created, and set up in one click with Click&Protect. The app runs on iOS and Android and is a free download from the Apple App Store and Google Play. On iPhone, two features remain Android-only because of Apple restrictions: the SOS button on the lock screen and the automatic start of protection from a schedule.
Which lone worker phone should you choose?
Shared phones:
VigieApp is linked to a user, not to a specific phone. A worker can sign in with their own credentials at the start of a shift, so several workers can use the same smartphone.
Device independence:
In the event of a phone problem, users can connect to any other smartphone to continue their service and maintain protection without reprogramming.
Protect yourself anytime, anywhere.
Simplify deployment, maximize flexibility, and ensure security with VigieApp®. Deploy quickly and start reaping the benefits of enhanced safety and protection right away—our rapid setup helps your organization save time on safety management.
Neovigie's fall detection runs on an AI algorithm developed within the European H2020 innovation program with research laboratories. It uses the smartphone's accelerometer and offers three sensitivity levels, so each worker's settings fit their job. A pre-alarm with sound, vibration and flash lets the worker cancel a false detection before the alert goes out.
At Neovigie, artificial intelligence (AI) plays a central role in making our lone worker application both innovative and highly efficient. By integrating AI into various aspects of our solution, we improve detection accuracy and optimize alarm triggers and minimize false alarms.
By leveraging AI, our app helps lone workers feel more secure and supported during their shifts.
Driving mode demonstrates how AI elevates our application's functionality:
This intelligent integration of AI not only increases the effectiveness of our solution but also ensures it meets the practical needs of employers and lone workers alike. With Neovigie, safety is smarter, seamless, and stress-free.
Protecting employee privacy is critical. Neovigie's lone worker solution is designed to respect individual rights while providing robust safety features. Key privacy safeguards include:
With Neovigie, organizations protect their lone workers with confidence while respecting their privacy, for a safe and respectful workplace.
TheVigieApp® seamlessly integrates a robust loneworker warning system with an intuitive alarm management tool, all in a single application.
Supervisors call the lone worker directly through VigieApp to check the situation, with automatic answer when the app is in alarm. Fewer unnecessary call-outs, faster help when it counts.
Each alarm follows a call chain you define. If the first supervisor does not acknowledge it, Neovigie automatically escalates to the next contact so that every alert is handled.
Visualize lone worker locations and alarm details in real time on the VigieControl® supervision web interface.
Simplify the management of your fleet by configuring lone worker applications online and updating them in real time.
View and manage all alarms to respond quickly and provide immediate assistance to lone workers.
Generate detailed reports on VigieControl® to analyze lone worker safety device usage and improve your policies effectively.
Panic Button on CrossCall and Samsung XCover Phones: Utilize the dedicated panic button to trigger an alarm in cases of assault or imminent danger.
Shake to alert
Raise an alarm by shaking the phone when danger is imminent. Off by default, enabled by the administrator.
Neovigie runs several devices on a single platform: smartphones (VigieApp), Wear OS watches, satellite beacons and rugged phones such as Samsung XCover and Crosscall, so you can choose by job and by risk. The app runs on the phones your workers already carry, the watch keeps hands free and suits roles exposed to assault, and the Bivy Stick keeps workers connected where there is no cellular coverage.
L'Oréal uses Neovigie to protect employees who work alone on night shifts, on weekends and in remote areas of its plants.

Free apps exist, but they usually stop at texting a contact: no central supervision and no escalation if nobody answers. Under the OSHA General Duty Clause, the employer remains responsible for organizing the response, which a free app alone rarely covers. VigieApp is a per-user subscription, with a free trial so you can test it with your own team before committing.
There is no single best app, only the one that fits your risks. Check five things:
The most reliable test is a trial with your own workers, counting the false alarms.
Most lone worker apps are sold as a monthly subscription per user, with no hardware to buy. The price covers what happens after the trigger: the server that relays the alarm, escalation to supervisors and the supervision platform. VigieApp pricing depends on your team size and the options you choose: request a quote.
VigieApp sends alarms over 4G/5G or Wi-Fi. When the phone loses its connection, a loss-of-connection alarm goes to supervisors. Before entering an area without coverage, the worker can start a Lifeline: a timer registered on Neovigie's servers as soon as it starts. If the worker does not reset it in time, the server raises the alarm, even if the phone is dead, broken or still out of signal.
For remote outdoor sites, the Bivy Stick satellite beacon, paired with VigieApp over Bluetooth, sends alarms over the Iridium satellite network.
In most cases, yes. VigieApp offers several ways to raise an SOS: the on-screen SOS button, a floating SOS button on the lock screen (Android only), the dedicated alarm key of rugged phones such as Samsung XCover and Crosscall, and VigieTouch, a Bluetooth button worn on a belt, a lanyard or a keyring. A voluntary alarm goes straight to supervisors, with no pre-alarm delay.

No federal rule sets one interval for every job. OSHA's shipyard standard (29 CFR 1915.84) requires employers to account for each employee working alone at regular intervals during the shift and at the end of it. Elsewhere, the interval comes from your risk assessment: the higher the risk, the shorter the interval.
With VigieApp, the worker sets the Lifeline duration before each task and resets it before it expires. A pre-alarm warns them before expiry (5 minutes by default, adjustable by the administrator). Automatic detections (fall, no movement) run at the same time, so protection never depends on check-ins alone.
VigieApp is designed to protect workers without draining the phone. Actual consumption depends on the phone model, the features enabled (fall detection, location, Lifeline) and network conditions. During setup, the app asks to be excluded from battery optimization so the phone never stops it in the background, and a low-battery alarm warns supervisors before the phone shuts down.
Yes. VigieApp runs on Android 8.0 or later and on iOS 12.4 or later (iPhone 6s and newer), including rugged phones such as Samsung XCover and Crosscall.
Two features are Android only because of Apple restrictions: the floating SOS button on the lock screen, and the automatic start of protection from a schedule (iPhone users get a reminder notification instead). Automatic answer of supervisors' verification calls during an alarm works on both.
