Seattle, WA, October 13, 2023 (--) Corum announces that their client, Canada-based Trusty Ox Systems (developers of OK Alone), an employee protection software application business, has been acquired by Private Equity group ECI Partners and their portfolio company, Peoplesafe.

The acquisition comes at an opportune time, coinciding with Peoplesafe’s launch of the market-leading software platform, Nexus – a pioneering new cloud-hosted software platform that enables customers to proactively manage personal safety risk across their business.

“We are excited to support this acquisition. Peoplesafe are on a mission to provide innovative and cost-effective solutions to the personal safety technology market. This transaction will allow Peoplesafe to expand that vision into the North American market and accelerate its strategy,” said William Hill, SVP at Corum Group.

“We’re really excited to be joining forces with Peoplesafe. Ok Alone has seen exceptional growth in the North American markets in recent years, especially through our partnerships with ADP and Geotab. Combining expertise with the leading global provider of employee safety technology makes for an exciting proposition. I look forward to seeing firsthand the many new opportunities for growth and development,” said Barry Larson, Founder/CEO of Trusty Ox Systems.

“Working with William and the team at Corum made our first North American acquisition a smooth process. The team and I look forward to working with Corum again as we continue our US expansion,” stated Naz Dossa, CEO at Peoplesafe.
