To safely introduce employees back into the workplace, an effective means of contact tracing is vital. Contact tracing in the workplace today is a crucial component in limiting Covid-19’s potential impact on employee safety and business operations. Today contact tracing in the workplaces, where implemented, is mostly manual and more tracking than tracing. Many solutions are invasive and infringe on employee privacy by storing their personal information and exact locations throughout the day and even off-hours. Contact tracing needs to be the opposite of tracking; utilizing tracing in the workplace should ensure employee privacy by not storing employee information or locations.
Skylytics Data’s solution, safercontact, allows small and large organizations to automate contact tracing in the workplace and removes the complexity and inaccuracies associated with manual processes. Safercontact is built to ensure employee anonymity and contact tracing, not tracking at its core. When combined with a prescreening process that includes questions focused on exposure risk, symptoms, and temperature measurements, safercontact can effectively isolate cases and quarantine only those at risk to exposure.

Safercontact can be deployed in organizations that require intrinsically safe devices and those that do not. The solution is flexible; it can be configured by location to ensure tracing adheres to guidelines set forth by the governing body in the country it is deployed in. The wearable devices deployed with the solutions can be worn on a lanyard, a belt loop, and a watchband. Safercontact is hosted on the Losant Enterprise IoT Platform. Losant’s IoT platform provides flexibility, reliability, security, and seamless integration for one to millions of connected devices. Skylytics is a Losant partner.
Losant Partnerships Growth Manager, Nugeen Aftab said, “The team at Skylytics has built an enterprise class contact tracing solution utilizing the power and scale of the Losant platform. They have simplified what can be a very complicated use case and made it very easy to consume. Working with the SkyLytics team has been a pleasure, and we’re excited to see safercontact utilized by small and large organizations alike.”
