International Auto Parts Distributor Implements Comprehensive Safety Solution for Truck Drivers
Since adopting the Series X, the auto parts distributor has reported significant improvements in truck driver confidence and safety.
The Problem
A leading auto parts distributor recently approached Becklar in search of a robust safety solution for their truck drivers. This need arose following a significant safety incident that underscored the vulnerability of their drivers who often operate alone. According to the National Safety Council, lone workers are at a 70% higher risk of workplace incidents compared to those working in teams, emphasizing the importance of a prompt response to prevent incident escalation.

This constraint prompted their search for something that could ensure constant connectivity and safety without the need for a smartphone. Their search led them to the comprehensive solutions provided by Becklar Workforce Safety, which includes the Series X, a device that met all their requirements with features like HD two-way audio, fall detection, and a panic button.
