About us

We build the safety platform
we wish existed when our own people worked alone.

We've designed Vygard around a pattern that shows up in every lone-worker sector: safety tooling that looks impressive in a tender doc and gets uninstalled inside a week. So we built one platform that workers actually keep open, and ops actually trust — and we keep designing it with operators in the room, not just product managers.

What drives us

Three pillars, one promise.

Principle

What we believe

Safety tech only counts if it works at the worst moment. We engineer for the 3am man-down call on a building site in February, not the boardroom demo.

Audience

Who we build for

Care providers, contractors, fleets, security firms, mountain rescue teams, families looking after an ageing parent, offshore oil & gas operators in ATEX zones, UK farmers working alone in remote fields, and NHS district nurses visiting patient homes. 12 sector packs and counting.

Method

How we work

Open about pricing. Honest about what's still on the roadmap. Always one step removed from the workers who use it — we ride along, we get paged. Claude-powered AI Virtual Watcher runs alongside every human dispatcher, but never instead of one — every model recommendation requires a named human ack before it counts.

Origins

Founded 2024 in London.

Lone-worker incidents typically share a pattern: a worker goes silent, the existing “safety app” has been silently logged out for weeks, and nobody notices until the end of shift. Vygard exists to break that pattern at every stage — keep the app alive, surface the gap fast, and route to a human who can do something about it inside minutes.

That's the platform we wish existed when our own people worked alone — and the one we build every day.

Designed with operators in the room

We consult practising operators at every release.

Vygard is shaped by people who actually run lone-worker operations — not just product managers. We don't list named advisors publicly until they've agreed to be quoted. The sectors below describe the kinds of practitioners involved in design feedback.

  • Construction H&S leadership
  • NHS community nursing
  • Volunteer mountain rescue
  • Security / SIA-licensed operations
  • Multi-drop logistics ops
  • Domiciliary care management
