Discrepancies in reporting and little control

Previously, Hydrosave relied on a buddy system for their staff, with employees pairing up and taking it in turns to check in with each other to ensure that their ‘buddy’ was safe.

However, managers noticed that there were often discrepancies and they had very little control over how employees were carrying out the buddy system.

This process also involved a large amount of paperwork which was inconvenient and time consuming for all employees.

To overcome these issues, Hydrosave began looking for a lone working system that was more automated, easy-to-use and could be managed by head office. The company also wanted a method that was flexible and simple to operate and implement.

Hydrosave trialled other company’s solutions but none of them proved to be as simple or effective as EcoOnline solution.

Improved contact between colleagues

After a very successful trial with EcoOnline over a one month period, Hydrosave’s fieldworkers found that there was a significant reduction in  time spent trying to get hold of colleagues.

It has also significantly reduced the need to fill out time-consuming paperwork every day. Managers now have insight into where their workers are at any given time and can ensure that their staff are safe throughout their working day.

Hydrosave employees feel much safer knowing that if an incident were to occur, managers are aware of their whereabouts and assistance can be sent directly to their location.

This app is linked to a secure cloud-based monitoring Hub which accurately locates lone workers on a map and provides managers with real-time updates on their movements.
