ATG Digital launches solution for emergencies

Issue 5 2022 Access Control & Identity Management, Asset Management

ATG Digital has launched a Roll Call feature on its app to assist SHEQ managers and safety officers who cite attendance records in an emergency as one of their biggest challenges.

“Time is of the essence to evacuate all personnel and visitors safely. Now there is technology to improve the accuracy and speed up the process,” says ATG Digital’s Ariel Flax.

Roll Call enables operations of any size to “quickly and easily keep track of attendance in any situation by using ATG’s app to mark off all on-site visitors.” ATG Digital has proactively developed the feature, inspired by conversations with clients in the mining, manufacturing, warehousing and construction sectors.

The company noticed that safety executives across the board favoured ATG Digital’s existing time and attendance reporting features. Coincidentally, many were incorporating this feature into their emergency response plans. The phenomenon motivated ATG Digital’s R&D; team to produce a purpose-built solution.

“We realised that the feature would have much broader application than mining and manufacturing, where there is an immediate need for health and safety compliance,” says Flax. “Every organisation can benefit from the solution, from business parks to schools and even hospitals.”

The feature is already live on the ATG Digital app, so clients can start using the new feature immediately.
