What is what3words?
Benefits
Health and safety
In an emergency, staff and contractors on the ground can give the what3words address for their exact location so help can find them faster. Be prepared and boost workplace safety by pre-loading the what3words work app on company devices.
Incident reporting
The what3words FindMe link can be sent to customers by SMS. It displays the device’s current what3words address, making it easy to give the exact location of an incident. The three words can also be typed directly into a what3words-enabled online reporting form .
How it works
Report
A customer or employee reports the what3words location for an asset or incident.
Share
The recipient enters it into the app or what3words-enabled tool and shares it with the relevant team.
Navigate
The team navigates to that exact location using the app.
