Deactivate Distractions,
Reactivate Productivity

The Cost of Interrupted Work: More Speed and Stress
Blackout for...

Productivity

Smart device abuse inhibits productivity and, as a result, translates into significant hidden financial costs for companies.

Currently, employers can restrict access to social media and non-essential platforms on laptops and desktops, but there are few options available to companies to regulate access via smart devices, regardless of network connectivity.

Social Impact

Our innovation isn’t just about technology, it’s about collaboration and creating tailored solutions to real-world challenges.

Improving Safety

In the transport and logistics sectors, our solutions reduce accidents caused by mobile distractions, enhancing road safety for drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike.

Promoting Wellbeing

Through initiatives like Blackout Education, we help schools foster healthier tech habits, encouraging students to balance technology use with personal growth and mental health.

Ensuring Compliance and Security

By working with industries such as finance and healthcare, we provide tools to support regulatory compliance and secure sensitive data, contributing to a safer digital landscape.

Financial Impact

Commitment to Sustainability & ESG Goals

Improving efficiencies

Studies show that employees spend a minimum of one hour per day accessing unnecessary mobile applications and social media whilst at work. Blackout reduces distractions and improves efficiencies.

Staying productive

Although this may not stand out of the annual accounts, there is a clear financial cost associated with unproductive behaviour in the workplace.

Less time wasted

Not only is the employee paid for unproductive time spent on their smart device, but the work not being completed has value to the company, either as billable hours or contractual obligation.

Return On Investment

...in regards to Fleet, office and salaried work environments

Our base case ROI assumption conservatively assumes employees waste an hour of their normal working day needlessly interacting with their smart devices. Although, there is a wide and increasing body of research suggesting higher levels of productivity attrition.

On a 'minimum wage' assumption of £12.21 per hour, (before employment taxes, such as National Insurance in the UK) over the course of a year each employee stands to waste £3,174 of paid time on their devices, when they should be fulfilling their employment obligations.

When considering the multiplier effect of employees across an organisation adopting similarly unproductive behaviours, the calculator below can help you estimate the savings to your organisation from using our system.
