Certificate of Recognition Tool
We partnered with the Manufacturer’s Health and Safety Association (MHSA), to create a COR audit software tool to make it easier for companies to manage this complex process.
Business Improvement Solutions (BIS) Officially Becomes BIS Safety Software
In December 2020, we underwent a rebranding to BIS Safety Software, aligning our name with our current suite of offerings.
2020 also saw us work in close collaboration with our major clients to enhance our digital forms technology by introducing event management workflows. This enhancement allows clients to oversee every digital form associated with a particular incident or event, keeping tabs on outstanding tasks and accessing reports that highlight crucial information.
User Experience Upgrades & SafeTapp 2.0
During 2021, we introduced SafeTapp 2.0, a substantial improvement in design and functionality compared to our initial mobile app. The enhancements in design and features were implemented based on the valuable feedback provided by our clients and partners. Additionally, this year witnessed further design enhancements across BIStrainer, with numerous pages transitioning to a fully responsive design.
Improvements to Digital Forms & New Offices
In 2022 we acquired a new head office to accommodate our expanding team. Secondly, a building was purchased in Houston to support our growth in Texas. 2022 also witnessed substantial enhancements to the BIStrainer Digital Forms Module, introducing features such as multi-respondent workflows, version history with the option to revert, and the ability to view all completed forms within a specific location.
BIS Adds a Lone Worker Feature
In 2023, a significant enhancement was the incorporation of the Lone Worker feature. This tool enables individuals working alone to send updates, informing their supervisors about their well-being or if they require assistance. This feature represents a substantial stride in enhancing the safety of lone workers.
Both workers and supervisors have the capability to establish check-in times. If the designated time elapses without an update from the worker, the supervisor receives a signal to dispatch someone for a well-being check.
