Lee and Karen Wood, owners of Plumbing Plus, a Roto Rooter independent contractor, believe in new-age monitoring. They sought out an alternative monitoring service to solve a business-threatening problem: concern about the efficiency and on-time location of in-the-field employees and trucks. The solution: automatic vehicle location driven through an off-shelf paging service.
And University of Utah students, living in campus residents, feel better-protected thanks to unique monitoring of in-house fire extinguishers. The extinguishers are remotely monitored for pressure, presence and obstruction to access.
