Most safety plans at work are a phone tree and a hope.
A sales rep is alone at a dealer two hours out of the city. A supervisor locks up a warehouse at 10 pm on a road with no streetlights. A woman leaves the office after a late release and books a cab. A student walks back to the hostel through the dark side of campus. If something goes wrong in any of those moments, the same question comes first: who knows, and how fast can someone get there?
Today we are launching ORBII Teams, so that answer is the same every time, in seconds, without asking anyone to be watched.
What ORBII Teams is
ORBII Teams is one plan for your whole organisation, in two parts:
- The ORBII app for your people. Every person gets ORBII’s full safety app: an SOS button, hands-free Voice SOS (say “help”, “bachao” or “madad”), a circle of family and friends, Safe Routes, Audio Escort, and Medical Priority for anyone with a serious health condition.
- A console for HR and your Safety Desk at orbii.in/teams. It shows who is covered and set up, who is out on a trip, every SOS with a timeline, reports for leadership and an audit log of every change.
The two are the same system. When someone in your organisation raises an SOS, their own circle is alerted as always, and so are the colleagues and Safety Desk your organisation set up to help.
What happens when someone presses SOS
- The SOS goes out. It can be a tap, a spoken word or a shake. A short countdown lets them cancel a mistake.
- Everyone who can help is alerted, within seconds. That means their own circle, the 10 nearest colleagues as safety buddies, approved company responders nearby, and your Safety Desk, by phone push and a browser alert that arrives even with the console tab closed. ORBII helpers in the area are alerted where they exist.
- The desk sees it unmissably. An open console sounds a full-screen alarm until someone acknowledges it, and the location opens in Google Maps in one tap.
- If it is medical, it is faster. For a serious condition the countdown is shorter, and helpers hear what to expect in English and Hindi. HR never sees the condition.
- Afterwards, there is a record. The timeline shows when alerts went out, who accepted, when help arrived and how it ended. A cancelled SOS is marked “cancelled by them”, because sometimes that is a mistake and sometimes it is not, and the desk should know.
With no internet, the SOS goes out as a text message with the location to the person’s emergency contacts and to your Safety Desk number.
Trips: the check-in that does not need checking
Before a site visit or a late commute, the person starts a trip with a back-by time, and can mark it high-risk. If they are late, ORBII asks them “are you okay?” first. If they do not answer within the time you set (shorter for high-risk sites), the Safety Desk is alerted.
This is the core of what lone-worker safety tools do, built into the same app your people already use for their own safety. It also fits the growing need of employers to show that people who work late got home safely.
One console, three setups
Not every organisation should see the same things. ORBII Teams is set up for the kind of organisation you are, and the rules are enforced by the database itself:
| Setup | Your Safety Desk sees | Never |
|---|---|---|
| Field teams (plants, warehouses, sales and service on the road) | Live location during a trip the person started, and during an SOS | Location at any other time, health information, messages, contacts or circle |
| Office teams (late shifts, business travel) | Location only if a commute or trip is overdue and the person has not answered, and during an SOS | The same |
| Universities (students 18 and over) | A student’s location only while their SOS is live, and only to campus security | The same, and other students are never sent it |
Your admins cannot change their own setup. That is the point.
Company responders: help from the next building
Many organisations work in places where emergency services are far away. So ORBII Teams lets your own people help. Employees can volunteer as company responders in the app, and you approve them in the console. When a colleague within about 15 km raises an SOS, they are alerted too. Responders are never asked to confront anyone. They reach their colleague and call 112 or 108.
Built to pass a security review
We assume your IT and legal teams will look closely, so we built for that:
- 2-step sign-in with an authenticator app for every console user, enforced by the database.
- Rules in the database, not the screen: row-level security on every table, and every change goes through a function that checks the caller’s role.
- An audit log of every invite, removal, role change, setting change and API call, exportable at any time.
- No health data to employers, ever.
- An API for your HR system to add new hires and remove leavers, with keys that are scoped, rate limited and revocable.
- Built for India’s DPDP Act: a clear notice to every person, with their acknowledgement recorded.
Where your data lives, our subprocessors, retention and breach notice are all on our Trust Center.

Get started
Setup takes days, not months:
- We create your workspace and set it up for your kind of organisation.
- You invite your people by email or a CSV roster. People already on ORBII get a notification, and everyone else gets an email.
- Each person installs ORBII, signs in with that email, and sees exactly what you can and cannot see.
- Your Safety Desk turns on alerts, and we run a safety session for your team.

ORBII is a safety app. It is not a replacement for emergency services, a security team or the duties the law sets for employers. In any emergency, call 112, or 108 for an ambulance.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best employee safety app in India?
We built ORBII Teams for Indian companies and universities. Every person gets ORBII's SOS with hands-free Voice SOS, which works offline by text message. HR gets a console, and a Safety Desk gets phone and browser alarms for every SOS and every overdue trip. Field staff start a trip with a back-by time, colleagues can volunteer as company responders, and every change is in an audit log. Location reaches the organisation only during an SOS or within the rules for its setup, and health information never does.
Is there a lone worker safety app made for India?
Yes. ORBII Teams covers what lone worker apps are judged on: a check-in timer (a trip with a back-by time), a missed check-in that first asks the person and then alerts the Safety Desk, a panic button and live location during an SOS, and escalation to a desk. It also works on weak networks, because an SOS falls back to a text message with the location, and it is priced in rupees for Indian teams.
How do companies keep women employees safe on night shifts and late commutes?
Alongside safe transport and the other duties state law sets for night work, many employers want proof that each person got home. With ORBII Teams, an employee starts a commute with a back-by time. If they are late and do not answer, the Safety Desk is alerted. Office companies see a location only in that moment. The console keeps a record of every trip and every alert for your reviews.
Does the employer see employees' location all the time?
No. ORBII Teams is a safety app, not a tracking app. Field companies see live location only during a trip the person started. Office companies see it only if someone is overdue and silent. Universities see a student's location only during that student's SOS, and only campus security. At any other time the console has no location at all, and the database itself refuses to return it.
Can HR see employees' health information?
Never. People can add health conditions so that helpers coming to them know what to expect, and a serious condition makes their SOS a medical priority. That information reaches only their own circle and the helpers on the way, during a live SOS. It never reaches HR, the Safety Desk, reports or the API.
Is ORBII Teams compliant with India's DPDP Act?
It is built for it. Every person sees a notice of exactly what their organisation can and cannot see, and their acknowledgement is recorded. Location is used only for safety, health data never goes to the employer, every access and change is in an audit log, and people keep their own account if they leave. The details are in our Trust Center.
How much does ORBII Teams cost?
ORBII Teams is priced per organisation, by team size and plan: a Team Seat for each person, a Team Family Seat that also covers two family members, and Enterprise for 500 people or more. Write to us with your team size and we will send a quote, usually within a day.
What if our sites are in areas with few helpers or a poor network?
ORBII Teams does not depend on outside helpers. Each person's own circle is alerted wherever they are, colleagues who volunteer as company responders are alerted when they are nearby, the Safety Desk is alerted for every SOS, and 112 and 108 are one tap away. With no internet, the SOS goes out as a text message with the location to the person's emergency contacts and the Safety Desk.
Can ORBII Teams connect to our HR system?
Yes. HR can create API keys in the console to keep the roster in sync: list people, invite new hires and remove leavers. Keys are shown once, scoped, rate limited and revocable, and every change made with one is in the audit log. No key can read location, trips, incidents or health information.
Is there a campus safety app for Indian universities?
Yes. With the university setup of ORBII Teams, students aged 18 and over get ORBII's SOS, and campus security is alerted the moment a student raises one, with their location only while it is live. There are no trips and no tracking, and other students are never sent a classmate's SOS through the university plan.
