Example scenario

A service technician leaving a customer appointment in Manchester raises a Panic Alert and reports: "The customer threatened me during the appointment. I have left and am in the locked van." The operator replies: "We are calling you. Your supervisor is sending a colleague to support you." The service supervisor confirms the technician's welfare and the next assignment arrangements. The operator records the confirmed outcome and closes the response.

SOS for Field Services

Put the alert in context
Panic Alerts from the app and compatible satellite devices bring a request for help into the operator's workflow. The conversation and available location information help the operator reach the person and coordinate support from one place.
Coordinate contact and assistance
A technician asking for assistance at an unfamiliar customer location may need local support while the service desk coordinates remotely. The service coordinator can review a Panic Alert, attempt contact, and brief the service supervisor on the confirmed circumstances. The shared record keeps local assistance and outstanding actions visible as the response develops.
Carry the response through to handover
Standard Operating Procedures put the relevant contact and escalation steps beside the response. Use Incident Management to assign follow-up, record decisions, and give colleagues a shared view of progress through the handover.

How can the service desk coordinate assistance at an unfamiliar customer site?

Use the alert conversation and available position to establish contact. Brief the customer or service supervisor, and retain assigned support actions and the next update in an incident.

Can staff raise Panic Alerts from satellite devices?

Yes. Staff can raise Panic Alerts from compatible satellite devices as well as the app. AtlasNXT is compatible with over 3,000 satellite devices. Request the compatible devices list to check your equipment and its supported alert functions.
