How to ensure the safety of travelling employees

Australian automation company Troovo has announced a new venture that will ensure the safety of travelling employees using tracking and alert services.

Partnering with US-based security and travel risk management firm, Stabilitas, Troovo has also integrated its process automation into Stabilitas’ risk management solution.

Troovo’s technology will now seamlessly and instantly integrate all travel data into the Stabilitas platform giving customers real-time traveller tracking information on staff, no matter where they are in the world.

Earthquakes and natural disasters, terror attacks, and dynamic safety conditions in densely populated areas all pose threats to business travellers every day. The partnership between Troovo and Stabilitas integrates travel data within the Stabilitas mobile application – enabling companies to know exactly where staff are at all times when overseas.

It also provides alerts on potential threats travelling employees could be walking into, when threat conditions may change and ways to access help when needed – all in the same platform.

“As businesses grow and become even more international, employees are travelling to more diverse countries, some of which pose a risk to their wellbeing,” said Kurt Knackstedt, CEO of Troovo (pictured above).

“Today, more than ever, organisations have a responsibility and duty-of-care to ensure the health and safety of their employees – whichever part of the world they are working in.”

“Using Troovo’s robotic process engine, Stabilitas ensures that our clients have immediate and real-time access to all travel-related data on thousands of employees within seconds of bookings being created or updated,” added Chris Hurst, COO at Stabilitas.

“To save critical time, we use AI to automate many parts of the incident detection and mass notification process. We were pleased to find a partner who is also pushing the boundaries of technology.”

Using the latest in cloud technology and data exchange protocols, Troovo and Stabilitas deliver a solution that requires minimum user effort and avoids the costs associated with direct linkages with the GDS’s that other tracking systems are burdened with. The integrated platform saves companies thousands annually, and most importantly, increases the safety of its employees.

“We weren’t expecting an Australian start-up to deliver to us such an innovative and scalable solution, but that’s exactly what they did,” said Hurst.

“When it comes to minimising risk and ensuring organisations know exactly where their people are, having the most up-to-date information on travel arrangements is not just important, it’s business critical,” added Knackstedt.

“The importance of keeping your staff out of harm’s way is, or should be, a priority concern for any company. Legacy systems that exist for tracking and awareness of current instabilities around the globe are quickly being outdated and deemed archaic by the pace of the evolving business and travel world.”
