Tsunami Solutions Ltd is a software company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It focuses on minimizing hardware requirements while maximizing effectiveness and user experiences.[1] Tsunami Solutions was started in 1999, by founder Thomas Touhey. The company's SafetyLine Lone Worker, lone worker monitoring platform, utilizes software as a service (SaaS), satellite devices, Interactive voice response, a mobile app, and Bluetooth devices that are integrated into a single platform.
History
[edit]In 1998, WorkSafeBC enacted regulations to improve the safety of workers working alone.[2] Federal legislation followed with Bill C-45 on March 31, 2004.[3] This federal legislation amended the Canadian Criminal Code, imposing serious penalties for employers not providing employees safety from injury or death.[4]
In response to the legislation and to address this issue for employers, Tsunami Solutions founder, Thomas Touhey, created a lone worker monitoring service, SafetyLine Lone Worker, in 1999 that ran on Wireless Application Protocol devices (WAP).[5] There were few users utilizing WAP devices at the time, so the company pivoted to using Interactive Voice Response (IVR) check-in service, and later began using mobile apps.
SafetyLine Lone Worker allows employers to monitor the safety status of their employees, and respond to emergencies through a web portal.
In 2002, the company signed a reseller agreement with Levitt-Safety for SafetyLine Lone Worker.[6]
By 2005, Tsunami had over 100 customers.[7]
