FREE Business Contact Tracing Platform launches in Australia
Announcement posted by Brighter Day Group 13 Jul 2020
The Brighter Day Group, an Australian ideas and innovation collective launches “The Check In App”, a free contact tracing platform for businesses on 13th July, 2020.
In a market first, The Check In App is being provided on a cost free
basis to all Australian businesses to assist with their government required
Contact Tracing requirements.
Recognising the struggle faced by Businesses trying to meet their
ongoing costs from a dramatically reduced revenue base, Brighter Day Group is
offering the free service to assist the business in maintaining their
government obligations without the need to incur additional costs.
The Check In App is an online Contact Tracing Platform that enables the
public to “Check In” at a business to receive an electronic pass to obtain
entry. Users of The Check In App have a
record of the business they have checked in at and the business has a record of
the user.
“Users utilising the App are required to register and verify their
details before they can use the App,” says Mr Alex Jordan, creator of the App
and CEO of the Brighter Day Group. “Once
registered they simply click the businesses Check In button via their own
device to get the pass. This makes for
not only a simplified and easier process that is currently being used but also
protects people privacy by not having their contact details left in the open
for all to see.”
The Check In App has policies similar to that of the Federal
Government’s Covid Safe App where all data is controlled by the individual
users and the businesses. Policies
require the user or the business to provide approval for the access of records
with all data collected being stored on servers within Australia.
“Our platform not only gives businesses the Contact Tracing records but
also provides users with a complete record of where they have been and
when. If a user becomes infected with
Covid-19 they can simply access their account in the App and let the Health
Authorities know the date and time of every Check In App participating business
they have been at”, said Mr Jordan.
“Authorities can then contact the businesses to gain access to the
details of all the other customers that attended around the same time. Our system also contains a notification
platform which means people can be contacted within only a few hours of virus
detection instead of days or even weeks.
The Check In App provides a dramatically more efficient and streamlined
process to protect us all and expands the testing targets almost
exponentially”, added Mr Jordan.
It is a currently a requirement for businesses to provide a form of
Contact Tracing of patrons with penalties in NSW of up to $55,000 for businesses not
adhering to the requirements.
The Check In App is available for use by all businesses from retail to
corporate, regardless of the size or category including cafes, restaurants,
gyms, sporting groups, community groups and organisations as well as religious
service providers.
“We are looking to help as many businesses operate efficiently and
manage their Contact Tracing effectively in order to not only keep the wider
community safe but also to give businesses leverage in their push for the
continued easing of restrictions”, added Mr Jordan. “With the penalties businesses face for not
complying with Contact Tracing being so high, The Check In App ensures every
business can be compliant at for almost no cost”.
The Check In App is available for businesses to sign up to from Monday,
13th July.
