Did you know that every 7 seconds someone is injured on a work site? Just like most, we are not happy with that statistic. So we've decided to tackle a huge problem by creating our flagship product, iAuditor - a worker driven safety management system. Unlike any other product, iAuditor has changed the way we tackle quality and safety in the workplace. Designed to assess all different worksites, led by mobile apps and a scalable backend to provide a global solution. Combined with the web platform, iAuditor provides visibility and insights to help raise safety and quality standards across an organisation.
