Summary
SMART Safety (“Smart” or the "Company") is a provider of outsourced life safety and compliance management services to a broad group of customers who have safety and compliance program needs but lack sufficient scale to hire dedicated safety staff in-house.
Smart offers a full suite of services to its clients for a monthly subscription fee governed by annual, evergreen contracts.
With most businesses needing safety and compliance management, the Company's solution is applicable across numerous end markets and geographies.
