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.
