THE CHALLENGE
The Director of HSE at GeoVerra, Jen Alain, and her team found it extremely challenging to manage all administrative elements and safety KPIs using a paper and Excel-based system.
From keeping track of safety training and daily inspections, to site specific emergency response plans and proactive reporting, Jen was overwhelmed by everything that needed to be done to support the organization’s safety goals using their current system.
Because Jen and her team were working long hours while getting lost in administrative tasks, they were not able to focus on what they needed to accomplish from a strategic standpoint.
THE SOLUTION
After evaluating several safety software options and service providers with GeoVerra’s IT manager, Jen knew eCompliance would be the perfect fit for the organization.
“Everything it offered ticked off all our needs and supported everything we were looking for in a digital safety management platform,” shared Jen.
“It has a website platform and a mobile app for front-line users, and it works in real-time! It also has a reliable offline mode which is crucial for our remote workforce.”
