Case Study: Owens Group achieves transformational safety visibility and six-figure savings with Evotix Assure

Evotix The Perfect Health and Safety Software for Owens Group

Owens Group, one of the UK’s leading transport and warehousing companies with 1,000+ employees and a fleet of over 1,000 vehicles, faced a resource‑intensive, error‑prone Excel reporting system that suffered spreadsheet corruption and lost accident information. To standardise health and safety measurement across geographically dispersed sites, simplify incident recording and improve management visibility, Owens Group engaged Evotix and chose its Assure health and safety software (Evotix customer since 2016).

Evotix implemented Assure — a configurable, web‑enabled safety management portal with mobile reporting, dashboards, audit trails and configurable KPIs — eliminating double data entry and cutting administrative rework. The solution achieved 100% employee adoption, faster incident response, increased near‑miss reporting that enabled preventive measures, a significant reduction in resource costs, a marked drop in incident rates and a six‑figure saving since implementation, while giving senior management real‑time visibility into performance.
