“This spring Universal Helicopters made important steps evolving it’s SMS by researching support software that could enhance aspects of safety management and continue to drive a culture of safe, accountable decision making. Simplicity, flexibility, cost effectiveness were demanded.
The Vortex platform from Abante Safety stood out as fortified in human factors concepts in it’s very design, not just built to accommodate them. That a brain trust of leaders in industry are behind Vortex is evident. Start up was simple, customizing the platform streamlines functionality, and we are already seeing results in improved proactive reporting.
What has been abundantly clear is genuine enthusiasm and care given us by Abante, as well as the added value of coaching for our senior staff where proven concepts help our collective goal of safety permeating all aspect of the organization. It has quickly engaged the employees, empowering already sturdy professionals with a more personal role in improving safe production. The benefits around documents control, training department support, and streamlined audits continue to grow. We are very satisfied.”
