While traditional walkie talkies offer voice communication, Volan’s RTLS technology complements them by adding precise location awareness to workforce coordination. Supervisors can instantly see where a worker is in real time, reducing the need for back-and-forth communication and improving emergency response. By integrating voice and location data, operations teams can make faster decisions and resolve issues with greater efficiency. Volan’s solution also logs activity patterns, something analog tools like walkie talkies cannot provide. Read our Volan blog posts below to learn more.
