Onside for Android

Rural visitor tracking and safety — OnSide app

OnSide is a no-cost Android application aimed at helping people who manage rural properties keep better control of visitors, biosecurity and workplace safety. Listed in the Business & Productivity category on app stores, the app focuses on making visitor management straightforward and timely for farms, stations and other geo-fenced rural sites.

Main capabilities

• Real-time visitor records that log arrivals and departures automatically to a property’s record.
• Simple induction and hazard briefing tools so guests understand risks before they enter.
• Geo-fence detection that recognizes when someone enters or leaves a defined area and timestamps the visit.
• Features designed to reduce the chance of introducing biosecurity threats by ensuring visitors follow entry protocols.

How location-based check-in works

The app uses the device’s location to determine when a visitor is inside a pre-defined boundary. Check-ins and check-outs are recorded without requiring the guest to manually enter details, which speeds processing and reduces human error. Property managers can review visit histories and confirm that each visitor completed any required inductions.

Who benefits from this tool

OnSide is well suited for:

• Farm owners and managers who need a reliable log of who has been on site.
• Contractors and seasonal workers who must complete safety and biosecurity briefings.
• Rural organizations that want a simple, centralized way to enforce visitor protocols.

Platform and cost

OnSide is provided free of charge and is available for Android devices. It’s positioned for business and productivity use in rural settings, prioritizing ease of use and rapid adoption.
