Case Study: Footasylum achieves safer COVID-19 store reopenings with SafetyCulture

How Footasylum, a sports fashion retailer in the UK used iAuditor digital checklists as the pandemic unfolded, leaving their staff in capable hands to manage operations

Footasylum, a UK sports fashion retailer with 70 stores and more than 2,700 employees, faced major uncertainty when COVID-19 forced store closures and raised urgent questions about how to reopen safely. The company used the SafetyCulture platform to replace manual processes with digital checklists and better manage operations while keeping staff and customers safe.

SafetyCulture helped Footasylum launch a “Preliminary COVID-19 Store Opening checklist” to assess store readiness and create action items for reopening, followed by a “Retail COVID-19 Daily Requirements checklist” to monitor ongoing compliance. The result was faster, easier COVID-safe operations and stronger confidence across leadership; Footasylum completed more than 3,300 COVID-19 checks in the first 45 days after reopening, helping the team feel safer and more prepared.
