As companies adapt to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of software products for tracking vaccines have been created. G2 has launched its new category, Vaccine Tracking, to accommodate this ever-growing market. This new category aims to assist buyers in finding products that can help them manage the return of people to the office in a safe and healthy manner.
The rise of vaccine tracking software
Since COVID-19 vaccines have been readily available to the American public, vaccine tracking technology has grown in prevalence.
Prior to vaccines being widely available, there were COVID-19-related software tools that focused on symptom monitoring and space management in the workplace.
However, in recent months, G2 has seen an increase in the number of products that help employers manage a return to office environments as we enter year three of the pandemic.
Embracing the possibility of vaccine tracking software can help take the burden off HR personnel by managing COVID-19-related information, freeing up time for HR specialists to focus on creating plans for employee safety and well being. This software can help keep track of information such as symptom surveys, vaccination statuses, positive COVID-19 test data, and contact information to warn others in case an employee is found to be infected.
Vaccine tracking on G2
Despite vaccine tracking being a new category on G2, there have already been reviews that show that buyers are pleased with the abilities of this new technology to handle office management in real time.
One reviewer said about their vaccine tracking product Worksphere:
“Helpful tool to track office capacity and employee wellness.”
Another reviewer said about their product Appian Workforce Safety:
“Good platform to handle return to office, with a low-code, intuitive portal, and visually appealing UI.”
Considering that the Vaccine Tracking category is a brand new one, the fact that buyers are already commenting on the usefulness of this technology shows promise for the future of this space.
The future of vaccine tracking
There are already 33 products in the Vaccine Tracking category at G2, from a preliminary search of what’s currently available on the market. Large, well-known vendors such as IBM and Salesforce are releasing their own forms of vaccine tracking technology, as are smaller companies like BP Logix and Immuware. This helps make the vaccine tracking space more visible to customers who already do business with these larger companies. This development offers greater visibility overall and the chance for the market to grow as more people become aware of the capabilities of vaccine tracking software in handling COVID-19 in the workplace.
Since the start of the pandemic, employers have made some improvements in how they respond to employee health and wellness, such as giving more time off and providing flexibility in employees’ day-to-day work schedules. Vaccine tracking solutions can help ensure that the office environment promotes a healthy workforce too.
Since most companies are just beginning to make use of vaccine tracking technology, the potential for this market seems to be significant as the world continues to be impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
