Communication platform for workforce efficiency

About Relay

Relay is a communication platform aimed at improving workforce efficiency, especially for workers who do not have access to traditional communication tools or who use walkie-talkies. The platform utilizes Push-to-Talk (PTT) technology, which allows users to communicate instantly without the limitations of traditional walkie-talkies, such as limited range and security concerns. Relay includes features like GPS tracking, emergency alerts, and works on both mobile and desktop devices, all controlled through a voice interface. Unlike its competitors, Relay focuses on providing a subscription service that includes software integrations and regular updates to adapt to the changing needs of businesses. The main goal of Relay is to enhance communication for active workers, ensuring they can connect efficiently and safely.
