Greater clarity within the team: making communication easier and more reliable

Distributed teams have long been a reality. Whether in the office, on the construction site or on the road, good collaboration depends on clear, reliable communication. This is exactly where the Equasio app comes in with targeted improvements.

The goal is clear: fewer misunderstandings, less friction – more clarity.

Chat: understand faster, respond better

Small details make a big difference:

  • Typing indicator in chat: The Equasio app shows when someone is replying – this reduces duplicate messages and unnecessary queries.

  • More stable video playback: Media runs more reliably, even in longer chat histories.

  • Send multiple files at once: Attachments can be bundled and shared more quickly.

Feeds: grasp content at a glance

An overview is particularly important when there is a lot of information:

  • Optimised display of posts with multiple images – content appears tidier and is easier to grasp.

  • PDF preview: You can see which document will open right in the feed.

  • Improved uploads in the channel feed: More stable video uploads and the ability to select multiple images at once make sharing content much easier.

Profiles: clear separation, more control

The Equasio app also provides more structure for contact details:

  • New profile page with clear separation between business and private information – telephone numbers and addresses are clearly separated.

  • Individual privacy settings: Each person can decide for themselves which data is visible (e.g. hide private mobile number).

Conclusion

The Equasio app deliberately focuses on targeted optimisations in everyday work. Less chaos, more clarity and better collaboration – especially in distributed teams.

Why Communication Has a Major Impact on Workplace Safety

In today’s fast-paced working world, where teams are more international and diverse than ever, clear communication is key to ensuring safety and efficiency in the workplace. The importance of language in workplace safety cannot be overstated. Any misunderstanding caused by language barriers can lead not only to delays in workflows but also to accidents.

To successfully overcome these challenges, it is essential that guidelines, information, important safety instructions, and training materials are accessible and understandable to everyone. For this purpose, the Equasio app is the ideal partner for our clients. We have recognized that overcoming language barriers is a crucial step toward creating a more inclusive and safer working environment.

That is why we are pleased to announce that the Equasio app is now available in 13 languages and has been enhanced with a new simultaneous text translation feature. From German 🇩🇪, French 🇫🇷, and Italian 🇮🇹 to Spanish 🇪🇸 and Portuguese 🇵🇹, as well as English 🇬🇧, Czech 🇨🇿, Polish 🇵🇱, Albanian 🇦🇱, Turkish 🇹🇷, Croatian 🇭🇷, Slovenian 🇸🇮, and Serbian 🇷🇸, Equasio brings teams closer together and makes safety information more accessible than ever before.

With Equasio, you can significantly improve workplace safety while promoting accessibility and inclusivity. Our goal is to provide every employee, regardless of their language or background, with the same opportunities for safety and understanding.

Discover how Equasio can help you significantly improve workplace safety and ensure that every voice is heard – because safety knows no language barriers.

We have launched the new association app AM Suisse

With the newly developed “AM Suisse app”, fulfilling training and verification obligations becomes child’s play. The app ensures that all ID cards and training certificates of your employees and temporary employees – even when changing jobs – are always available digitally. As a result, you as an entrepreneur:in significantly reduce your administrative workload, always maintain an overview and ensure legal certainty within the employment relationships.

A central module of the app is the integrated, project-specific safety concept (SiKo) in accordance with Construction Work Ordinance Art. 4.

Functional overview of the app:

  • Management of badges, qualifications and training
  • Quality and process management incl. inventory of machines, equipment and personal protective equipment
  • Occupational safety and health protection
  • Corporate communications
  • VKF prevention campaign “Fire prevention on construction sites”.

 

The VKF recognized the potential of the AM Suisse app and contributed to the development costs in order to have the prevention module “Fire prevention on construction sites” integrated. Every year, fires on construction sites cause property damage of around CHF 30 million. For this reason, the VKF would like to sensitize the various professional groups to the topic of fire prevention. By correctly applying the practical tips, damage, criminal consequences and civil claims for damages can be avoided.

Don’t wait any longer: stop the paperwork and avoid expired welder inspections, lost verifications or SIA118 acceptance reports. Never miss maintenance checks on equipment, personal fall protection equipment or torque wrenches again.
