ServiceNow acquires Enable tech to improve health and safety management

I’m excited to announce that ServiceNow has acquired the ToolBox OH&S technology assets of Enable Professional Services, a ServiceNow Elite Partner and Fujitsu company based in Australia.
ToolBox OH&S technology—native to the Now Platform—will help accelerate and scale existing health and safety solutions that enhance safety management practices and streamline incident prevention and response processes for both direct and indirect employees. ServiceNow will harness the expertise of strategic consulting and implementation partner Fujitsu.
It’s every person’s job to maintain health and safety in any work environment. In today’s increasingly complex and stringent regulation and risk management landscape, businesses need integrated solutions and knowledgeable partners to help create a safe workplace.
With Enable’s ToolBox OH&S technology integrated into the Now Platform, customers can create safer, more connected, and more compliant workplace experiences on the intelligent end-to-end platform for digital transformation.
“We created ToolBox OH&S on the Now Platform because our customers needed a way to automate highly regulated and manual health and safety processes,” says Bruce Hara, CEO of Enable.
“We needed a single platform that could handle complex workflows not only across the enterprise, but also across regions and industries. We’re thrilled this technology is being further integrated into ServiceNow so we can together address the growing health and safety needs of employees worldwide.”
Accelerating health and safety in the workplace
Workplace health and safety continues to be a top priority for organizations. Businesses need automated technology solutions that can reduce the number of incidents, maintain compliance, and lower costs across various locations, settings, and industries.
Enable’s ToolBox OH&S technology gives organizations the ability to manage, monitor, and automate a wide variety of employee health and safety processes, including safety and hazard reporting, work orders and permits, claims and reconciliation, subcontractor management, return-to-work planning, and mobility and geolocation.
These capabilities help businesses accurately report accidents and injury claims, maintain compliance, provide case- or incident-specific feedback, and gather real-time data with intelligent dashboards.
Comprehensive health and safety
This acquisition is the latest step in accelerating ServiceNow’s existing health and safety offerings for a more comprehensive, end-to-end product that the world’s leading enterprises want and need.
With Enable’s ToolBox OH&S technology natively built on the Now Platform, the acquisition will also enhance solutions across field service management, incident and risk management, customer service, and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) management.
ServiceNow and strategic consulting and implementation partner Fujitsu will continue our broader collaboration so that enterprises worldwide can keep benefiting from end-to-end employee and customer solutions on a single platform.
With experience in the mature Australian health and safety market, Enable brings an expertise that will help ServiceNow scale and advance our health and safety solutions across a range of industries and global customers. Our work with Fujitsu is focused on positively changing the way organizations work, operate, and serve, creating the foundation for great experiences and business outcomes.
This acquisition follows acquisitions of Hitch Works, Mapwize, and 4Facility technology as part of our commitment to enhancing employee experiences and powering the future of work.
