Welfare monitoring and journey management system GetHomeSafe has integrated with fleet management data from Webfleet Solutions to help improve the safety of lone and remote workers.
The GetHomeSafe app enables employees to schedule and carry out time-based check-ins with their employers and to inform them of what they are doing, where they are going and when they expect to check-in as ‘home safe’.
The integration with Webfleet enables GetHomeSafe to now monitor the GPS location of workers relative to their vehicles, in real time.
It means that if employees don’t check in or activate an alert, supervisors/fleet managers will be automatically notified and their location, along with the vehicle position, can be immediately pinpointed using a single cloud-based interface.
Sophie Cranfield, head of business development – UK, Europe and Americas at GetHomeSafe, said the integrated solution means businesses are better placed to manage the risks facing workers operating alone or in remote environments.
“By combining the cutting-edge functionality of these two innovative solutions – both leaders in their respective fields – we are enhancing end-to-end workforce visibility and making it easier for managers to make informed decisions about the severity of incidents.”
The all-in-one solution also enables businesses to plan and approve worker journeys, while providing drivers with automatic routing information via their mobile GetHomeSafe app.
