The partnership incorporates Vismo's location based tracking service with International SOS's itinerary and manual check-in based Traveltracker. This solution offers companies expanded visibility into their "high profile" travellers' location by using real time background tracking and geo-fencing capabilities that are appropriate to the risk and enhance a company's ability to prevent potential situations and respond effectively to an incident.

"This technology provides organisations a tracking and monitoring solution in challenging places to keep travellers safe and secure with extremely accurate location information," said Tim Daniel, International SOS Group Executive Vice President. "It also complements and builds on our existing Traveltracker and security offerings."
