Mission & Purpose

Software powers the workforce...except for 55 million members who aren’t given access to a communication tool or rely on a walkie-talkie. This subset of the workforce is often completely disconnected - not only from one another, but from critical information that could improve their efficiency and positively impact the bottom line of the companies that employ them. Relay leverages the PTT functionality that active workers rely on, but we’ve stripped away the range limitations, security concerns, physical bulk and the budget prohibitions associated with traditional walkie talkies. More important though is what we’ve added: Relay operates on a powerful and flexible software platform that provides new core functionalities like GPS tracking, emergency alerts and mobile/desktop compatibility - all navigated through a voice interface. The technology that fuels these capabilities enables us to continue building software integrations that will evolve with marketplace demands.

  • Smart problem solvers

    We are solution oriented, lean on data and new learnings to open-mindedly go beyond our own conditioning and past experiences.

  • Empathetic and oriented to serving others

    We actively listen and withhold judgment until we hear other perspectives with an open mind. We assume the best of intents in people.
