Case Study: The East of England Co-op protects lone delivery drivers with Safepoint

The East of England Co-op protects delivery drivers with Safepoint in under 30-minute deliveries

The East of England Co-op, a large UK consumer co-operative, faced the challenge of protecting its growing number of delivery drivers who worked alone. These lone workers were exposed to risks on the road and from customer interactions, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this, the Co-op partnered with Safepoint to implement a comprehensive lone worker safety solution.

Safepoint provided its Safepoint Alert Button wearable panic alarms, the Safepoint app for timed tasks and check-ins, and the Safepoint Web Portal for supervisor oversight. This was backed by the 24/7 Safepoint GuardianPlus monitoring service. The result was an easy-to-use system that allowed the Co-op to track its drivers and respond swiftly to incidents, providing significant comfort and enhanced safety for its staff. Safepoint's solution successfully met the customer's need for a flexible and reliable safety system.
