About
Our Mission: help people GetHomeSafe
Since 2012, we've been on a mission to help create a safer world by developing easy-to-use, powerful welfare monitoring technology.
We realised early on that too many safety solutions weren't really designed for people. They were clunky, difficult to use, expensive, and lacked engagement. We decided to build a people-first safety solution.
With a focus on ease-of-use and engagement, our software and apps offers support for workers in the field, helping them work effectively and stay connected to their teams, and offering assistance when it's needed.
Our North Star is simple: to help as many people as possible get home safe.
A complete platform for safety
GetHomeSafe combines a safety monitoring platform with mobile applications, risk assessment software, lone worker devices, vehicle tracking systems and specialist communications. It’s a system that puts real-time safety information at the heart of your business operations.
Safety apps, devices and communications
Sitting atop our platform are smart apps and devices that manage the risks associated with employee safety. All GetHomeSafe apps and devices are designed to drive engagement and enable communication from anywhere in the world.
Safety monitoring platform
At the core of GetHomeSafe is a powerful safety monitoring system that makes it easy to manage employee welfare, regardless of the device or network coverage.
Government-level reliability, privacy and security
Our cloud-based infrastructure provides government-level reliability, privacy control, and security. It also means that the safety monitoring system is fully scalable, with a simple process and cost-effective pricing to add users as you grow.
Grow your safety culture with engagement and collaboration
As one of the world's most innovative safety platforms, GetHomeSafe brings together a suite of powerful tools, networks and technologies. You can bring your safety policies and processes to fruition and help to get your teams and lone workers home safely, whatever they do and wherever they may be.
Engagement first
If you want people to use your welfare monitoring system, they must engage with it first. The key to engagement and motivation is to make people’s lives easier, which GetHomeSafe does with its easy-to-use design and built-in engagement tools.
Trust
Privacy, stability, security, and trust are the four core pillars of GetHomeSafe. We build trust by creating safety technology that is both convenient and reliable. Our welfare monitoring systems deliver the health and safety assurance and information you need in real time.
Thriving partner ecosystem
Collaboration is a cornerstone of the GetHomeSafe ethos. We partner with reputable service providers who help support and empower organisations and their employees to get the most out of GetHomeSafe's platform.
It all started in 2011
Our founder Boyd Peacock loves the great outdoors and was out biking alone on difficult terrain. He was using a fitness tracking app, a novel concept back then. All of a sudden, he momentarily lost control on some rough ground and nearly went over the edge of a high precipice.
It was one of those ‘life-flashing-before-your-eyes’ moments. As he caught his breath, he began to wonder how long it would take for somebody to find him up there. If he survived the fall, would he be rescued in time to get treatment for his injuries?
Gathering his thoughts with a drink and checking the phone, it dawned on him that the fitness app tracking map would be very useful for those trying to track him down when he didn’t show up for work the next day. But nobody would think to check it.
A few days later, Boyd (a beer lover too!) bought a round at the pub. While settling down to take a sip, he got an automated message from the bank saying that his account was running low. At that moment it suddenly clicked… why not apply the same idea as the bank notification to a safety app that texts someone a link to your tracking map if you don’t check in as being safely at home?
From humble beginnings in a Queenstown garage in 2012, GetHomeSafe was quickly recognised by Tech Crunch magazine as an app to watch. GetHomeSafe was a finalist in the 2013 New Zealand Innovation Awards.
From our original free personal safety app, GetHomeSafe has evolved into a world-class Software as a Service company, with 100,000+ app downloads worldwide. Our platform is now used globally to provide peace of mind for a huge variety of businesses, government departments, and organisations.
