What to look for
The Sentry vs a typical legacy system
Not sure what a lone worker platform should include? Here is the checklist buyers use — and how The Sentry measures up against the hardware-heavy, long-rollout alternative.
Capability
The Sentry
Typical legacy
“Typical legacy” describes common characteristics of hardware-based or older lone worker systems generally and is not a comparison with any specific named product.
Comparing lone worker platforms
How does The Sentry compare to hardware-based lone worker devices?
The Sentry replaces dedicated hardware with an app on the smartphones your staff already carry. There are no devices to buy, ship, charge, lose, or replace — which removes both upfront cost and the operational burden of managing physical kit across multiple sites and states.
Why is a documented audit trail important?
OSHA’s General Duty Clause and state Workplace Violence Prevention laws expect employers to take reasonable, documented steps. A tamper-proof, timestamped record of alarms, check-ins, video, and reports is the evidence that shows you did — it is the difference between a defensible position and an unsupported claim.
Can I switch from another system to The Sentry?
Yes. Because there is no hardware to retire, switching is straightforward. A short onboarding call configures your roles and alarm routing, you invite your team, and you are live the same day.
