  • Vismo's Checkpoints at GSX 2025 enhance security with QR code-based timestamped logs.
  • Checkpoints supports new laws, like Martyn’s Law, improving safety and accountability.

At GSX 2025 –Ernest N. Morial Convention Centre, New Orleans, September 29 to October 1, booth #3619 - Vismo will demonstrate its new “Checkpoints”, which uses QR codes at key points in a building or venue to create timestamped logs of presence.

Not requiring a GPS location, Checkpoints’ QR code readings are automatically recorded in Vismo’s secure portal immediately the codes are scanned by phone.

Vismo Protect App’s panic button

Checkpoints enables employers to know exactly where their staff have been - and when,” says Vismo Director of Global Sales, Colin Dale. “That’s critical for ensuring safety and maintaining operational oversight - including where security companies’ clients require verification for ensuring accountability and attendance by security personnel as legally agreed."

Checkpoints also raises the bar for safety of personnel, who can use the Vismo Locate & Protect App’s panic button on their phone if in danger. That will alert admin teams, who will contact emergency services if necessary.”

Webinar: Prior to GSX 2025, Vismo will run a 30-minute free webinar, on Teams, about Checkpoints on September 24 with Colin. 

Supports new laws

Checkpoints will support the Terrorism Act 2025, also known as Martyn’s Law, when it comes into effect

Checkpoints supports Intro. 0991 - the Safe Hotels Act - a new law of New York City for stronger standards for safety and staffing, including when cleaning on their own in hotel rooms.  

Similarly, the tool can also be used for supporting lone healthcare workers, a sector shocked by the murder of nurse Joyce Grayson during a scheduled check at a Connecticut halfway house in 2023.

In the UK, Checkpoints will support the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, also known as Martyn’s Law, when it comes into effect. The act is designed to improve security and preparedness for potential terrorist attacks at public premises and events, following the attack. It’s named after Martyn Hett, who died in the 2017 Manchester Arena terrorism attack. 

mSafety smart watch

Also on booth #3619, Vismo will demonstrate Sony’s mSafety smart watch that can be used for addressing the needs of workers in specific roles and industries. 

Vismo is integrating mSafety with its own backoffice operations, secure portal included, to ensure that mSafety’s location tracking, panic button and “man down” detection are supported by Vismo.
