Case Study: Southern Company achieves enterprise-wide safety consistency and automated compliance reporting with Cority

How Southern Company Leveraged Automation to Significantly Improve their Processes

Southern Company, a major U.S. energy provider, faced fragmented safety and industrial hygiene systems across its subsidiaries—an outdated Oracle system in larger units and Access databases in smaller ones—that made enterprise-wide coordination and reporting difficult. To unify compliance and IH data, Southern Company selected Cority (cority ONE™) to replace disparate tools and deliver a single integrated solution.

Cority implemented a standardized platform across the organization, enabling consistent case language, linked documentation, enterprise-wide reporting and trend analysis, and automated business rules and notifications (for example, auto-identifying DOT-reportable vehicle accidents). As a result, Southern Company can generate roughly 300 OSHA logs at the push of a button, run KPI analyses to focus injury-reduction efforts, improve investigations and record retention, and significantly reduce the risk of non-compliance.
