Every employee that receives a Locstatt ID is considered a User, and this makes up the Company Size.

Yes. Clients paying annually in advance, will receive a discount, plus all Companies with over 150 Users will receive a variable discount. Plus, we often have various discounts for new Companies on their initial contract, so contact [email protected] to discuss your discount.

Yes. Within the first 12-month contract, you can upgrade to the next plan at any time, and the costing will be adjusted accordingly. However, you can only downgrade your plan at the end of the first 12 months (with 30 days advance notice). If you then renew on the 30 day auto-renew with no additional discount applied, you can change plan at any time (up or down) with 30 days’ notice. If you renew on the annual plan with discount, you can only downgrade at the end of the current 12-month term (with 30 days’ notice).

All new contracts are for an initial 12-month period. Then you have the choice of a rolling monthly auto-renew contract, or, for clients wanting an additional annual discount they will continue with a renewable 12-month term.

Yes. However, all plans have a starting monthly cost of $100, so we always give Consultants access to the full Enterprise package covering the entire SMS.

YES, we only accept these types of payment; ACH, Wire, or by Credit Card. Locstatt covers the 2.9% convenience fee for credit card payments for all Companies on 10-day terms.

After your initial 12-month term, for client enrolled in the 30 auto-renew program, you simply email [email protected] and give us 30 days’ notice; this is all that is required to close your account. For clients with an annual account including the applied discount, you can cancel with 30 days’ notice at the end of your 12-month term.

No. The initial Company set-up and Training on individual modules is included in your monthly User cost. After set-up the Basic Plan receives additional training for up to three hours per month every month. The Professional Plan receives additional training for up to 5 hours per month every month. The Enterprise Plan receives additional training as required depending on company size.

There is a big difference between, an expense and an investment. A good investment prevents a subsequent expense. Systems that encourage safety reporting, simplify administration, and help you see patterns, can be invaluable in reducing an accident, and thereby reducing your expense.

According to OSHA, one workplace injury costs $36,000 on average (and may cost more indirectly) so systems like this make sense from safety and financial perspectives. Finding ways to maintain awareness of safety issues is a perfect way to remain vigilant and improve safety in your operations.

No worries. Our product is unique, addressing challenges of real business users. Locstatt is a heavy-duty industrial application, it was designed with the front-line workers in mind, so it is simple enough for non-technical people to use, but robust enough to provide enterprise quality results.

One of the beauties of our system is the complete integration of every module, allowing for Real Time data compression and live reports showing leading indicators as seen in the Company Performance Overview.

YES, you are in complete control of when & how reports are emailed, and to whom they are sent within your Company. Information, once gathered, should be accessible and actionable. If you can’t easily use it, why would you collect it?

YES. Even though Locstatt is a heavy duty industrial application capable of dealing with company sizes anywhere from 10 to 100,000 Active Employees, it was designed with the front line workers in mind, it is simple enough for non-technical people to use, but robust enough to provide enterprise quality results.

You’re ahead of the game if you do. Here are some things for you to consider:

• Is your current system stranded technology, or does it integrate automatically with your entire Safety Management System?
• Is the system you use today easy for your employees to use? Do they actually use it?
• Does the system you use today create an electronic report of the results, including inspection fails, action items and resolutions?
• Can inspectors send requests from the field to people for help getting inspection fails resolved quickly?
• Does the system eliminate double handling text entry and paperwork?

That’s great, you’re ahead of the bulk of companies who still use paper forms – but there are some factors to consider:

• Is your current system stranded technology, or does it integrate automatically with your entire Safety Management System?
• Can you customize the reporting categories such as root cause analysis etc?  
• Is your system easy for your employees; are they actually using it?
• Are all accidents and injuries being reported? When they are reported, do you receive them in real time?.
• Do you think you are getting reports of all incidents and close calls in real time, or close to it?
• Does your current system automate regulatory reporting such as that required by OSHA?These are some features that make Locstatt a popular choice for safety professionals across many industries

By reporting substandard conditions from the field safety professionals can act quickly to remedy dangerous situations and the ability to make suggestions show an appreciation for worker feedback logs that creates a way to collect those ideas for evaluation and action.

Most companies collect information about operations, incidents and close calls that have occurred at their facilities, but many have no easy way to compress and understand that information. The Locstatt analytic dashboard provides a fast integrated way to view large amounts of data that helps identify patterns of behavior or even situations that have not necessarily resulted in problems to date. This allows you take proactive action in addressing areas of concern before they manifest into problems.

Occasionally we see that. Most Companies usually overcome this hurdle by placing workstations strategically around the work area/tea room for use by any worker. Generally the Locstatt solution has a flexible architecture that can adapt to most deployment needs .

You can continue to complete the Audit or BBS or whatever action you were performing. Your information will be saved, and when your device re-establishes connection to the internet, it will be automatically uploaded to the system.
