For customers currently using TraceSafe's contact tracing hardware in the coming months, developments have been made to include add-ons to the various TraceSafe devices, such as including RFID access control modules and the option of rechargeable batteries. In addition, TraceSafe has expanded into the carbon emissions tracking arena via the acquisition of Offsety, a carbon offset marketplace and calculator. This acquisition enables TraceSafe to market a tool for event organizers, venue owners and sport federations. The calculator will provide unique insights into key sources of emissions at an event, including the impact of individual teams and attendees.
