Example scenario

Example scenario

A retail colleague closing a store after the last customers leave in Manchester raises a Panic Alert and reports: "A customer threatened me at closing time. I am in the locked staff office and feel safe." The operator replies: "We are calling you. The store manager and regional security contact are arranging support." The store manager confirms that the colleague has been met and further support is agreed. The operator records the confirmed outcome and closes the response.

SOS for Retail

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 retail colleague asking for help may be alone at a branch while support is coordinated elsewhere in the region. The regional manager can review a Panic Alert, attempt contact, and brief the store manager 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 regional operations support a colleague working alone at a store?

The operator can use the alert conversation and reported position to contact the colleague and involve the local manager. An incident keeps assistance and subsequent contact visible through the duty change.

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.
