Case Study: The Works Stores achieves real-time, accurate safety and incident reporting across 525 stores with Evotix Assure

The works stores are making their frontline workers lives safer through ehs software

The Works Stores Ltd, a value retailer with a nationwide network of 525 stores, struggled with slow, manual health & safety processes: store managers recorded incidents on paper, spreadsheets were time-consuming and error-prone, and senior managers lacked timely visibility into accidents and risk assessments. In 2021 The Works engaged Evotix to tackle these issues and standardise incident reporting and access to key safety documents using Evotix’s Assure EHS solution.

Evotix implemented Assure across all 525 stores, delivering a shop-floor–friendly system with centralised checklists, photo-enabled inspections and automated incident notifications. The result: live, accurate accident data for directors, immediate alerts to area managers, health & safety and profit protection teams, consolidation of numerous clipboards into two daily/weekly checklists, faster follow-up and more robust investigations — replacing outdated spreadsheets and freeing up time to focus on proactive safety improvements.
