Blackline Safety Corp., a global leader in connected safety technology, announced a four-year contract valued at $2.7 million with a major U.S. upstream energy company headquartered in Houston, Texas. The company selected Blackline to provide over 800 G7c cloud-connected wearable safety devices, 40 EXO cloud-connected area monitors, and 75 G7 Docks. This new fleet marks a shift away from a competitor’s products, which the company had used for 30 years. The decision to upgrade was driven by the company’s dedication to safety and need to better protect their workers—especially those working alone—by ensuring consistent, reliable cellular coverage across a vast geographic area. Ultimately, Blackline’s features such as SOS latch, fall and no motion detection, push-to-talk, and real-time connectivity sealed the deal. “The customer evaluated Blackline’s connected safety devices in comparison to products from their long-term supplier. It took less than a week for G7c to stand out for its broad connectivity range, and the

Centric Software® is delighted to announce the release of a success story about its customer, Eberjey.Established in 1996 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, Eberjey was founded on soft, comfortable and stylish loungewear and their signature pajamas for women.
