EcoOnline expands and strengthens its comprehensive EHS SaaS Solutions by acquiring StaySafe – a leading provider of cloud-based monitoring solutions that ensures lone workers are protected.
The changing patterns in the world of work, with more flexibility and technology, lone working is on the rise in almost every industry. As the name suggests, a lone worker is a person who performs their job alone, without someone else present or supervision. Lone workers can also be working with another person but are out of hearing or visual distance.
StaySafe offers remote monitoring, panic alerts, and other solutions designed to protect lone or at-risk workers. Their platform includes an innovative and award-winning smartphone app and cloud-based monitoring solution that provides workers personal safety and security. The easy-to-use app tracks location in real-time, enabling employees to check in safely and request immediate assistance in an emergency. StaySafe also has several options for wearable device integration, and monitoring can be performed in-house or outsourced to response services in the relevant region.
EcoOnline's CEO, Göran Lindö, states:
"Our mission in EcoOnline is to protect people and the environment. In StaySafe, we have found a team where the protection of people is in their DNA, and we see great potential for future joint growth and innovation.
