By: R. Mukund, Founder and CEO of Benchmark Gensuite
Benchmark Gensuite has officially acquired Anvl, a leader in AI-powered frontline worker safety solutions. This strategic acquisition represents a significant milestone in our mission to revolutionize workplace safety and operational efficiency for organizations worldwide.
A Strategic Leap Forward
The acquisition of Anvl aligns perfectly with Benchmark Gensuite’s commitment to providing the most innovative Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) solutions on the market. Our enterprise-scale EHS platform combined with Anvl’s mobile-first, AI-powered technology will transform how safety programs are implemented and experienced at the frontline.
What first attracted us to Anvl were remarkable similarities in our origin stories and the complementary nature of our product offerings. Both Benchmark Gensuite and Anvl were born out of a desire to solve real-world challenges faced by organizations striving for operational excellence. For us, it has always been about delivering best-in-class digital EHS management systems that connect the enterprise from the C-suite to the frontline worker.
Anvl has focused on developing innovative, user-centric solutions that put the power directly in the hands of field service teams, project crews, and other frontline personnel. Their mission has been to make it easier for workers to do their jobs safely, efficiently, and with a heightened sense of engagement.
This struck a chord with us, as we’ve long recognized that the true measure of success lies in the ability to drive meaningful change at the point of execution, and what we saw in the Anvl product was a powerful tool that enables workers to prioritize safety without compromising productivity. After all, safety isn’t just a box to be checked – it’s an integral part of the job itself.
Frontline Impact
A recent survey found 58% of frontline workers do not feel completely safe at work. One fundamental challenge experienced by many organizations is found in the difficulty of integrating safety, with efficiency and consistency, into everyday workstreams. That’s where Anvl excels.
Anvl empowers frontline teams to work in the safest possible manner, ultimately leading to improved performance and greater job satisfaction. This focus on user engagement not only enhances compliance but also fosters a proactive safety culture. Anvl’s solution addresses operational safety gaps through significant adoption rates—over 90% in the first 90 days—and by making safety protocols easily accessible and intuitive.
Advancing Our Vision
This acquisition is about more than just expanding our product portfolio; it’s about enhancing the value we provide to our customers and bringing even greater capabilities to the table. Integrating Anvl’s strengths with our own sets the stage to further advance worker safety, and has the potential to fundamentally change the way organizations approach operational excellence. EHS, quality, sustainability, and operations. These functions are not siloed responsibilities – they are enterprise-wide imperatives that require true collaboration and engagement from every level of the organization.
Our vision for the combined Benchmark Gensuite and Anvl solution is one of seamless integration and intelligent connectivity. We want to ensure that every stakeholder group – from the C-suite to the frontline worker – has access to the tools and insights they need to drive continuous improvement. By intelligently integrating our management systems with Anvl’s operational safety utilities, we can provide a stronger unified platform that eliminates disconnects and empowers everyone to work together towards common goals.
Here are a few key benefits that this acquisition brings to our collective future:
- Expanded Market Reach: Anvl’s focus on distributed, mobile workforces opens up new markets and industries for us. This acquisition enables Benchmark Gensuite to expand its reach with a targeted entry-point product for the SMB and mid-market segments, creating new opportunities for functional focus in safety, quality, operations, fleet services, and maintenance. In addition to key industries such as energy, construction, and utilities.
- Enhanced Product Offering: Anvl’s mobile-first solutions are uniquely designed to digitize safety and operational processes in real-time. Their AI-powered forms and workflows will allow us to deliver more robust, self-configurable tools that drive greater efficiency and transformation for our customers.
- Growth and Innovation: The combined expertise and capabilities of both organizations will unlock new avenues for innovation. Anvl is first-to-market in deploying AI to transform mobile workflows, and together, we’ll continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in AI-driven safety and operational excellence.
A Shared Commitment to Innovation
Anvl’s dedication to safety, quality, and continuous improvement aligns seamlessly with our strategic goals. Both of our teams are driven by a commitment to deliver cutting-edge solutions that empower our customers to stay ahead of industry challenges. Together, we will continue to lead the market in AI and data-driven safety management, helping our customers create safer, more efficient work environments.
This acquisition is a significant moment for Benchmark Gensuite and will be a game-changer for our company and our customers.
A New Era for Workplace Safety
The integration of Anvl into Benchmark Gensuite signifies the beginning of a transformative era for frontline worker safety. Together, we will empower organizations to optimize their safety programs and protect their most valuable asset—their people.
We encourage our customers and partners to reach out with any questions as we embark on this exciting journey. The future is bright, and I’m excited to see how this acquisition will transform the way organizations operationalize safety programs.
