New Zealand-based Panztel, which established its UK headquarters in Wales in May 2001, is helping CERETAS, formerly the British Association of Domiciliary Care, through its sponsorship of the 2008 Homecare Worker Award for Wales.
Jonathan Hudson, managing director, said: "New online technology is helping employers monitor the working patterns of lone working staff bringing them great benefits in efficiency and personal safety. It is time we recognise the contribution this unsung army of homecare professionals is making to society and the economy of Wales."
In operation, eziTracker homecare monitoring enables lone workers to log in and report their locations when visiting clients, the online monitoring system is capable of handling from 10 to 50,000 employees per company, eliminating the need for paper-based time-sheets and manual clocking in'.
"From an economic point of view, our location in this region has been hugely beneficial to our UK growth plans, thanks to the concentration of telecommunications and IT companies as well as excellent skill base in this part of Wales. With an estimated 46,000 people receiving homecare in Wales, we believe there is great scope for adopting our technology to further improve the industry."
