Company profile
researched Aug 2026SoterAI operates an artificial-intelligence platform for workplace safety and loss prevention. Users photograph a hazard on site from a phone; the system detects the hazard, classifies its severity, and matches it to the applicable regulation. From there the platform runs inspections, risk assessments, incident reports and compliance checks, and auto-generates cited, jurisdiction-specific documentation across US and international frameworks that can be exported and signed off.
The product is organized as a safety workspace combining a hazard register, incident reports and inspection history into structured, audit-ready records, plus more than 30 guided workflows such as Action Plan, Hazard Inspection, Incident Investigation, Regulatory Watchdog, Site Audit and Hazard Identification. Corrective actions can be assigned owners and due dates and tracked to completion, and risk is scored and prioritized across sites to give portfolio-level risk intelligence. A natural-language interface answers regulatory questions and compares requirements across jurisdictions, including OSHA, Cal/OSHA, ISO standards and EU directives, with industry-specific guidance for sectors such as construction, logistics, healthcare and manufacturing. The platform runs on desktop, mobile and tablet.
Business model
SoterAI sells a software platform to two customer groups: employers' EHS and safety teams, and insurance providers' loss control teams, the latter with white-label reporting for underwriters. The company positions the two sides as a shared intelligence loop, in which assessments run by employer safety teams also inform the insurer view, and multi-site or portfolio deployment is offered for enterprise customers.
Traction
The website states more than 500 companies use the platform and cites training data drawn from over 10,000 companies. Customer-reported outcomes include $5M of ROI in an eight-week pilot at George Weston Foods, roughly eight hours per person per week freed at Blackmores, a reduction in custom safety meeting preparation from five hours to 30 minutes at ICW Group, and a 50% reduction in report development time with doubled productivity at OVD Insurance.
