THE MARKET NOBODY SERVED
70% of Industrial SMEs Still Run on Spreadsheets.
The EHS software industry has had the same conversation for twenty years — with the same customer. The enterprise with a dedicated EHS department, an IT team, and a budget for lengthy implementation projects. The rest of the industrial world has been left to manage serious operational risk with Excel, paper, and group chats.
This is not a technology problem. It is a product problem. Nobody built for them.
2.93M workers die annually from work-related causes ILO, 2023 | $12B EHS software market by 2030 — growing at ~10%/yr EHS Market Analysis, 2024 | 70% of industrial SMEs have no formal EHS system in place SME Surveys, 2024 |

Seventy percent. That is not a niche. That is the majority of industrial employers — the manufacturing plant, the construction firm running six sites, the oil and gas services company managing real operational risk on tools that were never designed for it.
WHY THIS CANNOT WAIT
The Cost of Getting It Wrong Is Already in Your Books.
Manual EHS management does not just create compliance exposure. It has a direct, measurable cost — in workplace injuries, lost production, and missed signals that escalate into serious incidents.

For every dollar invested in structured safety management, operations recover two to six dollars in avoided costs. The question is not whether a proper EHS system is worth it. The question is why so many operations are still waiting.
The answer, until now, has been: nothing was built for them at a price and timeline that made sense.

THE SOLUTION
SOAPBOX.CLOUD™ — Live within 7 Days. No Integrators. No Surprises.
SOAPBOX.CLOUD™ is a cloud-native, AI-enabled EHS management platform covering the full operational governance surface of a mid-market or SME industrial operation. Twenty-one modules. One unified data model. Every entity — incident, risk, CAPA, audit finding, compliance obligation — structurally connected from day one.
The intelligence is built in. Not assembled by a consultant after a nine-month implementation.

| The gap is not lack of awareness. It is lack of a product built for them. Existing platforms are priced for enterprise procurement teams. Their implementation timelines assume dedicated IT resources. Their user interfaces were designed for a control room — not a field worker with a hard hat and a phone. Mid-market and SME operations have been told, implicitly, that they do not qualify. |
WHAT YOUR DAY LOOKS LIKE WITHOUT THE RIGHT TOOLS | SOAPBOX.CLOUD™ — THE FIX |
Incident logged 3 days late. Context already lost. | 30-second mobile capture. Geo-tagged. Stakeholders notified instantly. |
CAPA assigned to someone. Nobody followed up. | Auto created. Named owner. Deadline tracked. Verified closure. |
Regulator calls. Audit pack takes all night to compile. | One click. 12 months of organised, traceable records. Ready in minutes. |
Risk register last updated two years ago. | Live register. Linked to every incident and finding. Always current. |
| What deployment actually looks like for a first-time buyer: Day 1-2 — Configuration conversation. Your industry, your sites, your compliance obligations. No IT team needed. Day 3 — Your environment is live. Your team has access. You start using it. Day 7 — Real operational data in the system. Incidents captured. CAPAs running. Day 30 — First audit pack ready at a click. Compliance calendar current. Day 90 — Three months of structured data. ESG figures available. You know what is happening across every site — live, not two weeks late. |
FIVE REASONS IT IS DIFFERENT
Put Every Feature to the Test. Book a Demo.
01 | Live within 7 days | No system integrator. No IT team. No 18-month timeline. Operational within one week. |
02 | Priced for SMEs | Transparent pricing. No hidden fees. No SI overhead. No enterprise contract negotiation. |
03 | Compliance pre-built | ISO 45001, ISO 14001, IFC EHS, OSHA, DOSH and regional packs - active from day one. |
04 | Real-time across every site | One dashboard. All sites. All data. Live - not a fortnightly report compiled by someone. |
05 | Pilot-first model | Start with one site, one workflow. Prove the value before committing to a wider rollout. |
WHO THIS IS FOR
The Operation That Was Told It Could Not Afford One.
This is not for the company already running a mature enterprise platform. It is for the HSE Manager who has been asking for a proper system for three years. The operations director who looked at the traditional vendor pricing and closed the browser. The company that assumed EHS software was not built for them — because, until now, it was not.
