Executive Summary
This report helps firms understand the current EHS mobile app landscape and helps vendors enhance their knowledge around the EHS mobile app capabilities that end-users desire. Over 10 years ago, mobile EHS applications were at the start of conceptualization as touchscreen mobile devices were newly introduced to the market. As proliferation of these devices soared and the portfolio of mobile applications grew, EHS vendors began to adopt the tool as a software delivery method. Through interviews with vendors and EHS decision-makers, Verdantix has identified how the mobile EHS app landscape has changed, how it currently looks and why the uptake of this software will not slow down. This report sheds light on the drivers that continue to push adoption in 2020, the current maturity of the mobile EHS applications market—in terms of product design, technical elements and corporate engagement strategies—and the sustained shift towards user-centric deployment.
