A radio with PRIVOX or a phone with a messenger?

Many teams run their shifts in WhatsApp or Telegram groups. It works until a message is missed, a phone breaks or someone needs help fast. Here is what changes with a rugged radio and PRIVOX, and why phones can stay in the team.

What the company gets

  • Work equipment under control

    Radios are company devices: you issue them, see their status and switch off a lost one with one action.

    Who is on site

    “Arrived” on the radio, on-air status for every device and a map for the dispatcher. Location sharing can be switched off per person.

People are used to phones. Keep them

Buying radios alone is not enough. PRIVOX makes the radio as easy as a messenger: groups, chats, photos and voice messages on the same channels. Managers and the office keep PRIVOX on their phones, the floor gets radios, the dispatcher works in a browser, and our team sets channels, sensors and alarm routes around your processes.

  • Phones and radios in the same channels
  • Chats, photos and voice messages, like in a messenger
  • Set up around your processes by our team
