US Retailer to Protect Employees and Sites Nationwide with Crisis24 Risk Management
19 Feb 2025

A major US retailer with thousands of locations nationwide will partner with Crisis24 to implement its first security and travel risk management program. The goal is to strengthen risk awareness and response capabilities and protect employees, travelers, and retail locations.
The retailer recognized the need for an integrated solution to protect its people and sites from critical threats (from natural disasters or extreme weather to civil unrest) and communicate quickly and effectively with impacted individuals no matter their location. Crisis24 will provide risk intelligence, travel tracking, mass notification, and medical and security assistance capabilities, enabling the retailer to take a more proactive approach to threat mitigation and incident response.
Maximizing Duty of Care, Minimizing Operational Disruptions
Duty of care is an important consideration for the retailer, and Crisis24 will help the retailer ensure the well-being of employees and retail locations through a single interface. Through the Crisis24 Horizon Intelligence Hub, the retailer will have continuous access to real-time risk intelligence, allowing decision-makers to pinpoint, assess, and respond to security concerns as they arise.
For example, if a hurricane is forecasted to impact a region where the retailer operates multiple stores, Crisis24’s intelligence analysts will provide early warnings, allowing leadership to make informed decisions on temporary closures, staff relocation, or supply chain adjustments. Meanwhile, employees in the affected areas will receive real-time alerts and guidance through a mobile app, ensuring they are prepared and can take necessary precautions. Travelers facing airport shutdowns, for example, will have direct access to Crisis24’s global support team, receiving immediate assistance to reroute their travel plans or secure safe accommodations.
If an employee on a business trip experiences a medical emergency, they can use the platform to request immediate assistance. Crisis24’s integrated medical and security services will facilitate rapid intervention, whether it involves directing them to the nearest medical facility, arranging emergency evacuation, or providing direct support through a 24/7 assistance hotline.
Crisis24 was chosen for its ability to be a true partner with the retailer and offer a fully integrated, cost-effective solution “under one roof.” The scalable platform will significantly strengthen the retailer’s ability to safeguard its nationwide workforce and retail footprint against evolving threats while strengthening business continuity. Employees will feel more confident knowing that their safety is a priority, whether they are working in-store, traveling for business, or managing operations remotely. In the face of unforeseen events, from extreme weather to geopolitical tensions, the retailer will have the tools and intelligence necessary to respond swiftly, minimizing disruptions and ensuring stability across its operations.
