Case Study: Wincanton reduces musculoskeletal injuries with SoterCoach from Soter Analytics

Wincanton cuts musculoskeletal injuries by 48% with Soter Analytics

Wincanton, a leading UK logistics provider, faced persistent musculoskeletal injuries among its workforce despite traditional safety programs. These manual handling incidents were the leading cause of workplace injury, driving up costs and limiting the effectiveness of classroom-based training. To address this, they turned to Soter Analytics and implemented the SoterCoach wearable technology and coaching platform.

The solution involved a phased rollout of SoterCoach devices, which provide real-time feedback on movements, paired with manager training on the analytics dashboard. This technology-driven coaching led to a 48% reduction in musculoskeletal injuries and a 62% improvement in high-risk movements within 12 months. Soter Analytics helped Wincanton achieve £2.1 million in annual cost savings and fostered a proactive, data-driven safety culture across its sites.
