KUDO Connect

Connect streamlines access, egress and communications activities across sites and locations internationally. Ideal for lone workers and teams working in remote and operational work environments, it also provides a real-time overview of all access and egress events across portfolios.

Connect comes in two parts; a front-end mobile app for site-based teams and lone workers, and a back-end web portal designed for admin users.

It’s user-friendly and flexible design allows it to be utilised across a number of industries and work environments, and its functionality can be tailored with ease to align with specific user requirements.

Features

Mobile App

A slick and simple app allowing users to book on and off sites and locations with ease, with all activity synchronised to Connect’s web portal.

 

Book on and off sites in seconds - 

Users can book on and off sites and locations, whilst viewing any relevant restrictions or updates.

Provides key contact information - 

Contact details for site and location representatives are embedded within the app, allowing users to make contact directly as required.

Offline functionality - 

Users can book off sites in no signal zones, with the app registering the booking off event with the original time stamp when mobile signal is available.

 

 

 

 

 

Web portal

Connect’s nerve centre is its web portal, allowing those with admin rights to add new users, locations and sites, whilst managing inductions (if required) and communicating with site teams and lone workers. It displays access and egress activity across all locations and sites registered on the platform, and syncs seamlessly with the mobile app.

 

 

Users, sites and locations management - 

Register and on-board new users to the platform, and add new sites and locations in a few clicks.

Holistic real-time reporting  - 

View all access and egress activity in real time across sites, locations and portfolios. Receive auto-alerts when workers exceed their stated departure time to prompt any relevant actions.

Integration with GPS devices - 

No signal, no problem. Connect synchronises with Garmin and SPOT devices and displays the last known locations of workers.

Restrictions and weather warnings - 

Add site and location-specific restrictions with varying levels of severity, potentially requiring users to contact site representatives prior to booking on, whilst preventing booking on events in scenarios where it may not be safe to.

Have visibility of significant weather updates, and add local weather warnings and their estimated time windows as they are forecast.

Information such as site and location-specific restrictions and weather warnings can be displayed to the user in the app at the time of booking on, or sent as notifications to users’ phones in scenarios where new restrictions or weather warnings are raised after users have booked on.

Communicate with remote teams and lone workers - 

Notifications can be sent to users’ phones with urgent updates or in the event of emergencies. Connect will send ‘read’ notifications to admin users to allow those workers who have not read the notifications to be identified, in order to inform who may require a phone call to communicate any updates.

Site / location-specific documentation - 

Upload all relevant documentation including RAMs, emergency response protocols and site/location-specific summaries.

Robust record keeping - 

Maintains an historical record of all documentation, inductions logs and access and egress activity for internal analysis and audit purposes.

Inductions management (additional fee) - 

Upload and maintain all training material and documentation to facilitate inductions, and record all users’ training and authorisations through the portal. Connect flags users who have not yet completed any relevant inductions, and alerts admin users when inductions are due to expire.
