Case Study: Calgary Urban Project Society achieves organisation-wide GPS lone-worker protection and faster emergency response with StaySafe

Calgary Urban Project Society - Customer Case Study

Calgary Urban Project Society (CUPS), a non-profit delivering housing, education and health services, was relying on a monitoring tool that couldn’t reliably locate or protect lone workers across all teams. They needed accurate GPS tracking, discreet panic/duress options for outreach staff, and a solution that met Alberta’s work‑alone legislation. CUPS selected StaySafe’s smartphone app and cloud‑based monitoring service, deployed on Cat® rugged smartphones for extra durability.

StaySafe implemented a customizable app and hub that allows group-specific settings, multiple supervisors, real‑time location tracking, duress pins, and missed check‑in alerts. Rolled out across housing, education and health care, the solution stopped frequent device replacements thanks to Cat phones, improved contactability and response times, streamlined monitoring and reporting, and helped CUPS meet its duty of care. StaySafe’s system made organisation‑wide lone worker protection simpler and more effective.
