Laipac: monitoring people — a different business and a different customer

Canadian manufacturer from Richmond Hill, Ontario, founded in 1999. Its strength is not the vehicle but people monitoring: personal devices and tracking bracelets.

Who you sell it to: justice, health, elderly care and companies with lone workers. Many of these are public or institutional contracts.

What it earns you: long contracts, with an annual budget and without the price fight of the car market. An institutional agreement gives you stability the private customer never will.

What to watch: this is personal data, and that raises your level of responsibility. Battery that lasts, tamper resistance and alerts that cannot be silenced are requirements, not extras. And institutional selling demands paperwork and deadlines your operation has to be able to meet.

Here you are not tracking a vehicle, you are tracking somebody: field work, security and patrols and guard patrols.

Which protocol it speaks: Laipac Tech devices reach the platform over the Laipac protocol. Its page explains what it is and how it works.
