Push-to-talk radio

Phones become two-way radios, per site, per team or company-wide. No radio licences and no repeater to build.

Straight answers

Before you ask.

Q.01What does it cost?+

The price is published in full on the Workforce & HR page, along with what it covers and where it stops. Larger operations and anything installed on site are quoted after we have looked at your setup, not off a web page.

Q.02Do we need special hardware?+

No. The phones your team already owns are enough. Clock-ins, patrols and radio all run on them, or in the browser. Rugged handsets and gate scanners are optional, dropshipped once-off or financed.

Q.03How long does setup take?+

About 15 minutes for a team of 10: add your site, drop a geofence, invite staff by phone number. Larger rollouts get onboarding help from a real person in South Africa.

Q.04Can it handle many sites and thousands of workers?+

That's what it was built for. Region dashboards roll hundreds of sites into one view, and the scheduler rosters thousands of workers optimally. Coverage counts per day, gaps flagged before they hurt.

Q.05What about radio licences?+

Shepherd's push-to-talk runs over data, so there are no per-radio licence fees and no repeater infrastructure to build. Talk per site, per team or company-wide from a phone, a rugged handset or the browser.
