The JESI software identifies a number of emergency contacts and alerts them if travellers fail to make their destination.

Current journey procedures within industries such as mining, construction and road transport are predominantly managed through labour-intensive administration procedures.

JESI automates employee journey management, enabling the organisation to comply with the Workplace Health and Safety Act part 2/3, which came into effect in January.

The system can also be used to manage fatigue risks, as the distance and duration of travel can be monitored to ensure enough rest breaks are taken throughout the journey.

It can be integrated into existing IT systems and is compatible with all telecommunication systems including mobiles, smartphones, laptops and tablets.

The system also claims to boost productivity as employers’ gain a better insight into the employee’s journey, which can increase organisational capability.

The programmed information can be used to formulate quality and quantifiable decisions to improve performance.

“Our goal was to develop software that was simple to use, accessible anywhere and as automated as it possibly could be for all users” JESI director Matthew Tebble said.

Co-founder Joe Hoolahan added: “We didn’t want a system that monitored people’s every movement like a GPS tracker but wanted a solution that by exception alerted someone if the user didn’t check in at the time they should have.

“Simple, automated, affordable and reliable was our criteria.”
