Case Study: Business Manukau achieves enhanced lone-worker safety and 24/7 monitoring with StaySafe

Business Manukau - Customer Case Study

Business Manukau, a non‑profit that keeps the streets of Manukau, New Zealand safe, needed a reliable way for lone crime prevention managers—often patrolling at night—to call for backup quickly if situations escalated. They selected StaySafe’s lone working solution, including the StaySafe app and a Bluetooth wristband button, to address the high‑risk, lone‑worker nature of the role.

StaySafe implemented an app‑based system with check‑ins, panic/duress/discreet panic alerts, 24/7 external monitoring and accurate GPS location tracking so monitors can dispatch help directly to a worker’s position. The result: managers report feeling much safer knowing backup is a button‑click away, alerts are handled round‑the‑clock by StaySafe’s monitoring, response times improve thanks to precise location data, and Business Manukau meets Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 requirements with minimal extra resources or setup time.
