First Delta, now Omicron
Underscoring the relevance of Universal Contact Tracing wearables
Microshare has been working closely with businesses unable to work from home over the past 18-months and again now as renewed challenges hit the workplace. Our Universal Contact Tracing solution, which offers organizations a ‘data safe’ way of tracing the movements and contacts of their people, is once again in the spotlight.
Rapidly deployed and wearable contact tracing from Microshare has kept some of the world’s largest companies safe and workplaces humming.
First the Delta variant, now Omicron: mutations of COVID-19 have set back ‘Return-to-Work” planning and reinforced the value of Microshare’s contact tracing wearables. We all want COVID-19 in the rearview mirror. But while it’s still here, our clients are renewing contracts for Universal Contact Tracing to keep workers safe, outbreaks contained and facilities open.
Our 1-page case study, highlights the latest features and benefits of using the Microshare wearable contact tracing solution.
The challenge
Working from home is simply not possible in many sectors. And with new variants of COVID-19 emerging with each season, companies need to stay alert and not fall victim to a “post-pandemic’ mentality. Sadly, it’s not over yet. Keeping offices, factories and hospitals up and running requires planning and smart technology.
The solution
Microshare’s Universal Contact Tracing solution tracks people moving around facilities. Universal Contact Tracing wearables allowed pharma giant Glaxo Smith Kline, US retailer Rent-A-Center and many others contain and prevent COVID outbreaks and avoid disruptive shutdowns at their global facilities.
The outcome
Unlike smartphone apps, our Bluetooth wearables collect no personally identifiable information (PII). Instead, pseudonymized flows securely to client dashboards for GDPR compliant tracing. Our transparent approach requires a wearer’s consent and protects and reassures workers, customers and their families.
Keeping people safe and operations moving
“Microshare’s Universal Contact Tracing is easy to use and extremely valuable in identifying people when the exposed person doesn’t remember the contact event.”
– Lynn Jenkins, Director of Human Resources, Rent-A-Center – UCT deployment, corporate HQ in Texas.
“Shutting down or even slowing global production costs us millions of dollars a day. This was a problem we simply had to solve, and wearable contract tracing gave us a solution.”
– Budaja Lim, Southeast Asia CIO, GlaxoSmithKline
