“Lots of employers contacted us asking us to help with two problems,” comments Ege Akpinar, CEO of Pointr, a leader in indoor location services. “Employers need to contact tracing where they don’t have to send everyone home when one person tests positive. The second problem is occupancy counting where they need to be sure there is no overcrowding and they can monitor the occupancy rates.”
Pointr is experiencing a boom in business following the creation of WorkSafe, its latest product which comprises a suite of services that build on its core indoor location technology.
Pointr’s WorkSafe solution uniquely solves these contact tracing and occupancy management problems.
Ege Akpinar commented, “WorkSafe solves these problems by building an app for use by employees only when they are in the office and connecting it to an employer dashboard that protects privacy.”
The employee installs the WorkSafe app or finds it as part of their existing employee app. It has an ‘on/off’ control that is turned ‘on’ for contact tracing when in the office and turned ‘off’ when out of the office. Pointr’s expertise in geolocation enables automated on and off when the employee enters and leaves the office.
The employee privacy is protected by no personally identifiable information being collected. The phones that an employee goes near when in the office are recorded in the WorkSafe app and in the WorkSafe dashboard. This phone-to-phone detection leverages Pointr’s world class expertise in Bluetooth technology.
