FoneTrac Features
Affordable Cost
Costs for small business and larger organizations are based on the number of users. For more comprehensive coverage that includes evacuation services etc, costs are based on the number of trips annually and trip destinations.
Check-In & Panic Alert
For small business operations, the alert notifications are received by IMG GlobalSecur. With more than 30 years of international security consulting experience and numerous worldwide contacts, IMG can manage the situation, recommend appropriate actions and deploy on-the-ground support, as necessary.
For larger organizations and those with complex travel patterns, panic alert notifications will be received by both IMG Globalsecur and our primary business partner, UnitedHealthcare Global at their Emergency Control Center. UHC Global further extends our response capabilities as well as providing disaster evacuation services when required.
24 / 7 Hands-On Partnership
IMG GlobalSecur will provide “hands-on” assistance to help manage any security-related issue or situation through to its resolution. IMG GlobalSecur will be the initial point of contact, and can provide advice and guidance and help coordinate the needed response. In practice, IMG GlobalSecur provides the assurance that there are few emergencies with which we will be unfamiliar.

FoneTrac in the News
Privacy Commitment
To ensure privacy and for technical reasons, we do not monitor traveler exact locations continuously. Therefore, unlike continuous monitoring systems that utilize “virtual boundaries” to determine when these have been breached, our consistent feedback from both corporate and individual users tells us that to gain acceptance, FoneTrac should be user-driven. Thus, if a user were to check-in at point “A” and then change location and check-in again, we will see the exact location at both points on our world map, but we will not be aware of how the employee traveled from A to B − unlike the information which is displayed on the user’s smartphone.
IMG GlobalSecur is only aware of an employee’s exact location each time they press the "check-in" or "panic alert” buttons. In order for GlobalSecur to render up-to-date assistance, use of the Panic Alert button will trigger continuous monitoring until the alert is canceled or the app/phone shutdown.
To underpin system security, FoneTrac back-end systems operate in a secure Microsoft Azure cloud environment.
