Let’s say, the next strategic meeting with chief executives and directors of your organization is around the corner. As a safety manager, this makes the perfect time for you to pitch workplace safety software in the meeting. And, like every pitch, you should take multiple factors into account before presenting it in front of the management.

Preparing the pitch based on these pointers will help you cover all the grounds. Information on these points will also provide answers to the questions raised by your bosses. Now, let’s have an in-depth understanding of these pointers.

1. Explain the Business Impact of Workplace Safety Software

To start, you should go down memory lane and help your management remember past instances when improper workplace safety disrupted the business. In these instances, you can highlight how lack of workplace safety software, or even ineffective safety software, had made the matters worse. Now, you can help the executives re-imagine these instances, but with workplace safety software and how it helped.

Workplace safety software helps in the management of work-related safety incidents such as health hazards, injuries, and illnesses. By implementing workplace safety software across your organization, the chances of reducing these incidents increase. Your company can also protect its property and assets by identifying avoidable incidents with the help of software.

In this role, Preverly performs exceptionally well as a workplace safety software. It helps your organization manage compliance with Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) protocols. Furthermore, it simplifies the governance of safety management activities with a user-friendly interface. It helps safety managers and site managers in implementing new safety procedures and EHS policies. Also, Preverly helps your organization’s leaders realize how its role in improving workplace safety can be profitable for your business.

2. Discuss Best Workplace Safety Software with a Detailed Comparison

After this general introduction, the next step would be to mention all the key players in the market for safety management software. In this part, you can create a comparative study on each workplace safety software, pitting them against each other by underlining their pros and cons.

It is important to note that almost every workplace safety software comes with a costly investment. Hence, you should not follow the regular pitching rules of going for the most expensive option and buying workplace safety software flooded with features. Instead, you should pitch the software that is affordable yet fits the custom business needs of your organization like a glove.

On this note, Preverly workplace safety software offers all essential safety management tools for organizations. The software has great industry-wise flexibility with applications for every type of work-related operation. Preverly is available as an on-premises system as well as a cloud SaaS. Hence, it easily adapts to your IT infrastructure. Furthermore, Preverly is relatively an affordable workplace safety software when compared to the other options.

3. Highlight the Technical Benefits of Workplace Safety Software

In this part of the pitch, it is important to illustrate the technical benefits of workplace safety software before getting into its cost benefits.

Preverly offers a wide range of technical benefits for effective management of work-related incidents. To begin with, Preverly acts as an incident tracking software to monitor the status of safety incidents. It uses KPI-based incident tracking to evaluate and prevent safety risks effectively.

Preverly also helps you generate qualitative analysis on the incidents. The software enables you to generate more than 20 different types of detailed reports on improving the safety of your workplace. This valuable data helps in determining how your company can avoid these risks and modify its operations accordingly.

Most importantly, the user experience (UX) of Preverly helps you with easy management and navigation. Preverly offers a high-quality UX designed for employees as well as safety managers. In addition, the software offers a unified digital platform to record, track, and analyze safety incidents at work. This way, your organization can prevent the recurrence of incidents early.

4. Specify the Cost Benefits of Workplace Safety Software in Your SaaS Budget

Now, you come to the deciding part of your pitch. In this part, you need to specify the costs of investing in workplace safety software. While doing so, it is important to illustrate the range of technical features and software capabilities included under the cost of purchasing the workplace safety software.

When it comes to workplace safety, most executives and business leaders invest as per the feasibility of their IT budget. However, in several organizations, workplace safety software may not be an investment priority. Even then, you can pitch a workplace safety software that is low in cost and high in features.

Preverly overcomes the cost-based barrier to your SaaS investments by offering a sensible per-user cost. The pricing of Preverly workplace safety software is optimized based on active users. For starters, the software could cost your company $10 per user for every month, which would be further optimized when your user-base scales up. Moreover, these costs not only include the desktop and web app versions but also the Preverly mobile app, making workplace safety more convenient.

5. Disclose the Recurring Costs of Software Renewal and Licensing

Before closing your pitch, you should also revise the costs of workplace safety software by revealing the additional charges, if any. Again, it is important to do extensive research on these hidden costs as they may disrupt your company’s spending in the long run. For example, various workplace safety software are inexpensive when billed per user, but have high charges for software renewals and licensing. As a result, your company ends up spending much more than their estimates.

Preverly helps you avoid such cost-related discrepancies by minimizing the additional costs. The workplace safety software does not have any major recurring costs or any hidden charges. It makes sure that your organization will have to spend more only when it adds more employees as new users of this workplace safety software. In this way, you help your company understand that it does not overspend on workplace safety software by investing in Preverly.
You could end your pitch by talking a little about indirect costs & damages to company associated with safety incidents. Some of them include lost man hours due injured employee being away from work, training the new replacement employee, insurance costs billed to the company, legal costs, ambulance & other medical costs, reputation damage, lost morale of other employees etc. These potential red flags will definitely get the management thinking on getting a software in place.
