No. Vygard follows the BS 8484 escalation model and can escalate to an ARC, but it does not hold BS 8484 certification. Totalmobile's ARC does.
Totalmobile positions lone worker within its wider field-service-management platform. Vygard is a standalone lone worker platform, so you only buy what your team needs.
Its lone worker product is advertised as a smartphone app. Vygard adds Apple Watch and Wear OS companion apps as well as the phone.
