Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

SAS, together with Access Anywhere, have announced the launch of a solution that uses advanced analytics and AI enabling companies to manage and track the risk of employee exposure to Covid-19. The solution aims to help organisations manage their employees’ safe return to work.

The outbreak management solution, termed Liberty Corporate, provides a macro view of employees’ risk status in real-time in the form of a cloud-based dashboard.

The system includes an easy-to-use mobile app for corporate staff, which can be used to record location data, temperature self-check results and COVID-19 test results that will be sent to a central administration. All data captured is anonymised and privacy is a priority.

SAS’ analytics and machine learning technologies provide real-time scoring and risk assessment of employees in the form of a risk status dial on the mobile app, showing the likelihood of the employee having been infected over the last 21 days. The app also provides a Hotspot Map showing known high-risk locations.

“Advanced analytics can play a critical role in providing real-time intelligence and gathering of data during a pandemic. With AI and machine-learning, we are able to provide anonymised risk assessment of each individual through their location and movement, providing a solution that minimises the risk of an outbreak amongst employees and their wider community that they interact with,” said Remco den Heijer, Vice President of ASEAN at SAS.

“We are proud to have brought this outbreak management solution to the market with the support of SAS. It can enable businesses to safely return to work in the ‘new norm.’ The system could play a vital role in preventing a pandemic ‘2nd wave’ and help ensure people with a low risk of infection are able to remain effective in the workforce as much as possible during these incredibly difficult times,” said Mr Mohit Sagar, Managing Director, Access Anywhere.

Liberty Corporate has been recently trialled and installed successfully at The Vagabond Club, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, in Singapore. The outbreak management system has been put in place to manage and monitor the risk of exposure of guests and employees at every stage of the guest journey within the hotel.

Should the Liberty Risk Assessment Engine discover any signs of pandemic exposure amongst the workforce, administration staff will receive automatic alerts warning of the risk and guide them through the steps to arrange medical tests, quarantine and return to work. Being a cloud-based system, administrators can be based anywhere and monitor a dynamic and mobile workforce with ease.

“Keeping our hotel operating during the pandemic has meant we have had to put in place measures to ensure the safety of our staff and of our guests who stay with us.

Liberty Corporate has given us the added confidence and assurance, through its health logs, location software, data insights and risk notifications, that we are doing our utmost to prevent transmission in our hotel,” said Ms Harpreet Bedi, CEO and General Counsel at The Garcha Group.

The Liberty Corporate solution and mobile app will be available in Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand.
