Read these frequently asked questions to better understand what Sofvie can do for your organization and what is EHS Management Software.
How long are the contracts?
We believe that once you start using sofvie, you will never want to stop. Accordingly, our license agreements are on a month-to-month basis and on a grow-with-you model. This allows for the flexibility of use and terms to be completely within your control.
How is Sofvie different from a physical paper process?
The primary differences between paper and EHS software processes are centralized reliability and accessibility. With paper, information is often incomplete, formatted incorrectly, physically damaged, and tucked away in a filing cabinet where it will never be seen again or a hassle to retrieve when needed.
EHS software captures the correct data, remains visible to whoever needs to see it, and triggers action with accountability as required.
Is Sofvie expensive?
The cost of Sofvie has a marginal impact compared to other operational expenses. Most find is by removing the paper and printing costs; the transition becomes a replacement cost with much more earned value. Each user is issued a license. This is less than a pair of work gloves daily for front-line workers. But the cost is far overshadowed by the savings and quality improvements. Many Sofvie users report that the resources saved throughout a single incident investigation will cover the cost of an entire year of Sofvie licenses.
Do I have to pay for every worker?
No, you do not have to pay for every employee in your organization. Sofvie’s pricing model is based on user licenses and only applies to employees using the software.
Is getting started complicated?
Not at all. The Sofvie environment is typically introduced in easily digestible stages, which are predetermined during the kickoff process. We also work closely with your organization’s change management team to create Super Users who understand all the functions inside and out. To scale this expertise quickly and easily, a comprehensive training portal is provided to every Sofvie user.
Does Sofvie enable regulatory compliance?
With Sofvie’s EHS software, compliance is a constant state. Regulatory bodies require specific information and practices which are inherent in using sofvie. With properly captured data and due diligence, you can generate reports with the click of a button.
Does Sofvie provide health and safety framework consultation services?
Sofvie does not provide H&S framework services. However, we have partnered with industry professionals who specialize in this type of work and can help your organization customize a health and safety framework that leverages Sofvie as the tool of choice to make the framework vibrant and maximize your safety culture.
Does Sofvie provide training?
Yes. We have services available to train your success team to understand and operate all of the nuances of your Sofvie environment. We can help you with one-off tasks like creating custom forms and I.T. integrations. Beyond that, we provide a comprehensive self-training learning portal with how-to videos for every occasion.
What is Sofvie customization?
There are two components of Sofvie that can be customized to suit the way you do business.
The first is custom forms. Our templated forms will accommodate the vast majority of EHS management situations. However, you may have data to be captured in very specific formats.
The second is your general Sofvie experience. Sofvie provides a world of functionality facilitated by numerous modules. Some of these modules may not be used by some of your users. Hiding them from view prevents potential confusion and allows you to navigate Sofvie as intended. We are always ready to help you develop custom modules specific to your industry or internal requirements.
What Is EHS Management Software?
Learn about Environmental Health and Safety and how Sofvie is designed to send workers home safely at the end of the day.
What Is EHS Management?
Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) is a framework for managing the risks associated with work. Also known as EHSQ (Environmental Health, Safety, and Quality) or QHSSE (Quality, Health, Safety, Security, and Environment), management consists of formal practices, policies, and data formats designed to uncover current risks, discover how injuries or damage to equipment has happened, and prevent future risks from occurring.
The goal of this framework is to prevent illness, damage to equipment, and personal injury. Governing bodies all over the work have particular bare-minimum standards which require adherence. Sofvie goes above and beyond the bare minimum by providing the tools for organizations to raise standards.
What Is EHS Management Software?
EHS Management Software is a specialized digital app that puts your health and safety framework into action and removes paper from the equation. This ensures that data entered into the system is complete and formatted correctly, training records and other critical information are easily retrieved, shared, and assigned, and accountability is attached to tasks via automated triggers.
Enacting your health and safety framework in this manner increases productivity due to the time savings digital processes create and simplifies communication across the entire organization.
What Does Sofvie Do Differently?
Sofvie focuses on centralizing intelligence to reduce and prevent risks, achieve compliance, and perform many other health and safety-related functions.
But, we do so by empowering the worker. Placing workers at the forefront of safety and putting them in control produces rich, accurate data and a culture centered around getting home safely at the end of the work day.
Our system is designed to keep everything in a centralized location. Keeping and working with your records inside a single EHS Management System ensures that information is never missing when needed. Sofvie is constantly adding new features and functions to the EHS Management Software to simplify the process even further and ensure that future framework innovations can be accommodated.
Why Does It Matter?
How Sofvie addresses environmental health and safety centralizes EHS data, standardizes data entry, automates communication, and makes all your EHS information instantly available. In short, management saves time, provides granular and holistic views of the organization, and saves money.
More importantly, it places health and safety in the hands of frontline workers, fostering a culture built around risk avoidance and sending them home safely at the end of the day. Sofvie is a powerful EHS management tool that identifies the root causes of risk and helps to prevent injury.
EHS Management Framework
EHS Management apps perform best with well-structured policies, procedures, and practices. Creating and enacting a health and safety structure is a moral imperative designed to protect the physical and mental health, safety, and well-being of workers, and planning is everything.
Many newer organizations still need a formal health and safety framework, and many longstanding organizations have not updated their framework in many years. Suppose your business could use some health and safety bolstering, a complete overhaul, or you don’t know where you stand, Sofvie encourages you to contact one of our partners to conduct a health and safety framework assessment.
