How do we do this?

Journey Management:

All users can create a journey plan in the system where they select the mode of transport, location, dates, expected time and any additional safety integrations such as GPS Devices, IVMS Devices or Risk Assessments.

Then whilst the user is on their journey, they are given automatic SMS and email reminders to check-in at predetermined locations to confirm their safety. If they fail to check-in, the escalation process is triggered and managers are alerted to respond.

Fatigue Management:

Users complete a 60-90 second game-like test at the start of each shift or before undertaking a high-risk activity (such as driving). The system develops a personal, rolling baseline that learns each person’s behaviour patterns, and average performance, and adjusts as they improve with practice.

If a user receives a score outside their baseline parameters, they are prompted to retake the test. If their score doesn’t improve, their manager is notified to check-in with them and see if they are safe to work.

Our goal is to provide you with the ability to highlight at-risk workers, start a conversation and care for your employees.
