I found your contact information on LinkedIn as we are both part of Young Oil and Gas Professionals Group.
I thought I would reach out as I am working with a company that may have an offer that is applicable to XXX.
The company is called Salus Innovations and they have an integrated health and safety solution that incorporates a bunch of other modules, like contractor management, employee competency, journey management, invoicing and safety management among others.
Some of the main benefits of leveraging Salus includes saving time on tracking many aspects of the HSE side of business, reducing paper work up to 100% and reducing costs.
You can see more at http://www.salusinnovations.com/ .
Is this something that may be of interest to XXX, if so, would you be open to a quick discussion to see how Salus Innovations can help?
