Office App Makers Cashing In on Pandemic Safety Needs

Peter Grant with The Wallstreet Journal reports investors are pouring money into phone apps that enable companies to monitor employees’ movements and ensure they are complying with social distancing and other Covid-19-related health protocols.
Employers can tell from a glance at the screen whether a conference room has exceeded the number of employees who can safely meet, or whether too many people are on one floor. Workers can also use these apps to take precautions like checking how many colleagues are using the gym, or how recently the cafeteria was sanitized.
