The Dispatcher...

The dispatcher is very beneficial to have as is can increase safety to a next level as the POC can be operated for example:
  1. The POC dispatcher has a contact list that displays who is on the network at all times and also allows groups and channels to be visible.
  2.  With a dispatcher it allows you to view chat lists in which are recordings of conversations that users had previously. This allows you to keep recordings so that you can analyse staffs conversations in case there is any problems or incidents.
  3. Lastly you can also access a utility window which is very important to have. Utility window means that you can keep track of the users location at all times through a real-time GPS tracker. A map will appear and you can clearly see which device is where for example if one of the users pressed the emergency button you would receive the alarm and their location. You can also contact users by simply sending them a message.
The dispatcher is perfect for control rooms so that users can be monitored and kept safe at all times.
