Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits Improves Global Employee Safety With Everbridge

Southern Glazer’s mission is to be the world’s pre-eminent selling, logistics, and data insights company for alcoholic beverages. Each day, the company strives to exceed all expectations of its trading partners by delivering world-class service and results in every facet of its business. To achieve this requires close partnerships with proven, world-class solution providers – which is why Southern Glazer’s chose Everbridge to be the critical event management platform for its enterprise Business Continuity program.

In the face of weather emergencies and other potential incidents that could impact sales, distribution, or warehouse operations, the company is committed to ensuring employee safety and maintaining delivery continuity to all customers and partners. Southern Glazer’s selected Everbridge as a partner to help uphold this commitment by providing comprehensive threat response and critical communications capabilities.

“Employee safety and enterprise resiliency are paramount to our organization and we continually seek innovative solutions and partnerships that ensure we are meeting these demands, especially during severe weather events that can impact our operations,” said John Liuzzi, the National Director of Business Continuity at Southern Glazer’s. “With Everbridge, we feel we have found that partner and look forward to leveraging their platform every day to keep our team safe and informed during a wide range of potential disruptions and events.”

With Safety Connection, Southern Glazer’s can locate remote employees who are in the proximity of a threat, confirm their safety, send them instructions, and gain field-sourced situational intelligence. The Everbridge platform also ensures important information can be delivered to employees using several different methods, such as SMS, voice, email, digital signage, alert systems, and even sirens. Multiple methods of delivery help to ensure reliable communication, even when certain modes may be unavailable due to the severity of the critical event. Everbridge has multiple layers of redundancy built-in to ensure rapid and reliable delivery, giving organizations near real-time verification, over numerous devices and contact paths.

“There is little, if any, warning when an emergency event or critical business incident takes place,” said Jaime Ellertson, CEO of Everbridge. “Companies need to be able to immediately share critical information with employees and respond to situations at a moment’s notice. We are thrilled to welcome Southern Glazer’s as a customer.”
