“Out of a number of potential service providers Rivo stood out from all the rest due to their professional, friendly and unassuming approach to the tender process. The product provided the simple and straightforward functionality to meet the requirements of our end user store staff and the detailed reporting and management information required at a more senior level. Most importantly of all though was the attitude and flexible approach of the sales and technical team that ensured all our specific requirements could be met”

“When we began to make improvements to our management systems, Rivo stood out in several ways. They worked closely with us to understand our requirements, and unlike others were able to tailor a system to meet our specific needs. Most importantly, the rewards to the business are tangible, enabling me to demonstrate a rapid ROI, and reduce the cost of managing Health & Safety risk. Through using Safeguard we are now able to spot trends and reduce future risk, perform crucial analysis quickly, and have tight control over processes and information capture. We also have a detailed audit trail to demonstrate and reward best practice.”

"Safeguard is a fantastic tool. Monthly reports can now be produced in minutes rather than hours - freeing up valuable time for proactive safety management."
Louise Holloway
Company Safety Manager
Focus DIY

"We are extremely pleased with both the product and service provided by the Rivo team. Our objective was to consolidate all of our H&S documentation and processes in one place and to control H&S activities from Head Office, whilst still allowing remote locations access. The system has exceeded our expectations, as proven by a recent evaluation which gave 100% satisfaction score in terms of ease of use by approximately 50 end users. At a senior level, Safeguard has provided us with an excellent overview of H&S activity throughout the company and useful report writing facilities. Throughout the rest of the business, it has encouraged employees to take more responsibility for Health & Safety at their individual levels, assisting them in prioritising and managing required actions."

"When I first started looking at software suppliers, I did a lot of research on the market and found myself looking at Rivo’s Safeguard system. I must say that it was the best choice. I purchased a few modules of the system to start off with and am planning to expand the system in the future. The Rivo team have worked with me for approximately two months to modify the system to meet my exact requirements. Any changes to the existing layout, reporting or any other aspect was done quickly and efficiently and I now have a system designed to fit with my organization and it is exactly what I needed. You can’t go wrong with Rivo."
