Location Tracking
Track the real-time location of staff and assets across your school with precision BLE beacon technology. EnviroSentry delivers room-level accuracy for emergency mustering, lone worker safety, and asset management — all from a single, cloud-based dashboard.
Why Schools Need Location Tracking
Schools are complex, multi-building environments where knowing the real-time location of staff and valuable assets is essential for safety, efficiency, and compliance. During emergencies, administrators need to account for every member of staff instantly. Day to day, expensive equipment like laptops, tablets, projectors, and medical devices can be difficult to locate across sprawling campuses.
Traditional sign-in sheets and manual asset registers are unreliable, time-consuming, and quickly become outdated. Schools need an automated, real-time solution that works seamlessly in the background without disrupting the school day. SchoolCare partners with EnviroSentry to deliver exactly that — precision BLE location tracking designed specifically for educational environments.
BLE Location Tracking with EnviroSentry
EnviroSentry uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacon technology to provide accurate, room-level tracking of people and assets throughout your school buildings. Small, lightweight BLE tags are attached to assets or worn by staff on discreet lanyards, while fixed receivers installed throughout the building continuously monitor their location.
Unlike GPS-based solutions that struggle indoors, BLE technology is purpose-built for internal environments. It delivers reliable room-level accuracy without requiring line of sight, works through walls and floors, and operates on minimal power — tags typically last 2–3 years on a single battery with no maintenance required.
The system is fully GDPR-compliant and designed with privacy at its core. Schools retain full control over what data is collected, who can access it, and how long it is retained. Staff tracking can be configured to activate only during emergencies or fire drills if preferred, ensuring transparency and trust.
Real-Time Staff Location Awareness
Knowing where your staff are at any given moment is critical for safeguarding and emergency response. The EnviroSentry system provides instant visibility of staff locations across your entire campus:
Emergency Mustering
During fire drills or real emergencies, instantly verify which staff members have evacuated and identify anyone still inside the building. Eliminate the delay of manual roll calls and ensure no one is left behind.
Lone Worker Safety
Monitor the location of staff working alone in isolated areas of the school — caretakers, cleaners, or teachers in detached buildings. Trigger alerts if a lone worker remains stationary for too long or enters a restricted zone.
Dynamic Staff Directory
Replace outdated whiteboards and sign-in sheets with a live digital directory showing exactly where every staff member is located. Perfect for reception teams directing visitors or colleagues trying to find each other.
Never Lose Equipment Again
Schools invest heavily in technology and specialist equipment that moves between classrooms, departments, and buildings. The EnviroSentry asset tracking system ensures you always know where your valuable resources are:
Equipment Location
Track laptops, tablets, projectors, cameras, and other shared equipment in real time. No more wasted lesson time searching for missing devices or duplicating purchases because equipment cannot be found.
Medical Device Tracking
Locate defibrillators, first aid kits, EpiPens, and other critical medical equipment instantly in an emergency. Every second counts when a student or staff member needs urgent medical attention.
Asset Utilisation Reports
Understand how your equipment is actually being used across the school. Identify underutilised assets, optimise deployment, and make data-driven decisions about future technology purchases and budgets.
