What TraknProtect does
TraknProtect (legal entity SekureTrak Inc.) is a Chicago-based B2B platform that delivers employee safety and operational efficiency technology to the hospitality industry, with extensions into healthcare, education, and short-term rentals. The company's core offering is a hardware-agnostic real-time location system built on Bluetooth Low Energy beacons, WiFi, and LTE gateways, providing panic-button safety devices, asset tracking for rollaway beds and equipment, vendor and room-tray tracking, housekeeping compliance (TraknKleen), and air-quality monitoring (AtmosGuard). Notable technical components include AI-based property fingerprinting for layout mapping, an ADA-compliant Visual Alert feature, and integrations with hotel network infrastructure (HPE Aruba, Ruckus, Cisco Meraki), in-room IoT (Interel, LG Hotel TVs), and emergency dispatch (RapidSOS).
TraknProtect monetizes through a hybrid model combining one-time hardware sales (safety buttons, gateways, asset trackers, Enterprise Safety Radio), annual subscription licenses covering the cloud platform, training, and maintenance, and bundled professional services for installation. Pricing is quote-based with a marketed benchmark of approximately $10 per day per room, and qualified customers can access 0% financing over 24–36 months through a partnership with NEC Financial Services. The company sells predominantly via direct enterprise sales, approved-vendor programs (notably IHG Hotels & Resorts), channel distributors (Avendra, Intello in Canada, Safety NetAccess), and an active presence at HITEC. End customers include Hyatt, IHG, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Hard Rock, Seminole Gaming, Aimbridge Hospitality, Peachtree Group, and The Ranch at Laguna Beach, with deployments reported across 500+ hotel locations protecting approximately 4,440 employees, including an estimated 50% share of the Chicago hotel market following panic-button legislation.
