CompanyTRAK is the leading digital solution to help with Self-Declaration, Social Distancing, Contact Tracing and Data Collection. With patent-pending contact tracing technology including mobile location services, Bluetooth tags and scanners, the solution traces employee interaction within a geofenced building. If an employee has contact within the CDC recommended 6-foot distance, that contact is logged. If employees’ self-reports as symptomatic or having tested positive, CompanyTRAK notifies an exposure risk to any employee that they have been in contact with over the last 14 days. This minimizes employee risk in the office or facility by understanding who is at risk, symptomatic, or is tested positive. The solution leverages a combination of proprietary mobile technology, web portal and Bluetooth tags to achieve this and be accurate.
As companies started to shut down due to the coronavirus, Varchasvi Shankar began working on the best and safest way to bring people back to offices and factories.
Through Sqwirrel LLC, a subsidiary of Shankar’s company, V2Soft – which he is the founder, president and CEO of – they created the patent-pending app, CompanyTRAK.
“What it does is it helps in managing the primary exposure with employees within an organization,” Shankar said. “It’s very neat.”
Since their founding in 1998, V2Soft, headquartered in Bloomfield Hills but with locations all over the world, has always been about more than just providing high performance IT solutions.
“It’s a passion of mine to build software applications,” he said. “It’s a passion of mine to solve real world problems with technology solutions.”
Other ways his company has been able to do just that have been through iConnectX.com, a patent-pending social fundraising platform for non-profits.
But right now, the focus is on CompanyTRAK.
How it works is employees can download the app through their company’s Enterprise App Stores, which Sqwirrel LLC distributes CompanyTRAK to. From there, companies are able to let their employees use the app from their corporate provided devices or personal devices. The app is not available via Apple or Google play stores.
Once the app is downloaded, all employees need to do is download it and make sure it’s connected to Bluetooth. The app will do the rest.
“Say I’m in contact with 10 people in my office for meetings or walking by the hallway, it tracks the people in my company I’ve interacted with over the last 14 days,” said Shankar, who mentioned it only tracks those people have come within six feet of their device.
