Live tracking, night-shift controls, IVR safe-arrival calls and SOS: how Zooper supports employee commute safety and the compliance that comes with night shifts in India.
A safe commute is not a feature. It is the standard.
Safety is why many companies run employee transport in the first place, and it is increasingly a compliance matter as well. The Occupational Safety, Health and Working (OSH) Conditions Code came into force on 21 November 2025. Under the OSH Code, women may work before 6 a.m. or beyond 7 p.m. with their consent, subject to prescribed safety and working conditions. Final central rules followed in May 2026, and states add their own requirements. Karnataka had specific night-shift conditions requiring routes to avoid picking up a woman first and dropping her last, along with security requirements. These provisions were subsequently amended in 2026, while Haryana's night-shift conditions for women require employers to provide security guards, including female security guards, in vehicles used to transport women employees.
Before the trip: rules built into the plan
- Configurable night hours. Transport teams define what counts as a night shift and apply extra controls, such as ensuring a woman is never the last drop.
- Safer routing. Night routes can be planned to prefer safer, better-lit roads.
During the trip: visibility and response
- Live tracking. Transport teams see every vehicle. Employees can share their trip and live location with family or colleagues.
- Route deviation and geofence alerts. If a vehicle leaves its planned path, the desk knows immediately.
- Driver behaviour monitoring. Speed, braking and driving hours are tracked so risky patterns are caught early.
- One-tap SOS. Employees can alert the company transport desk instantly if they feel unsafe.
After the trip: confirming arrival
- IVR safe-arrival calls. An automated call confirms the employee has reached their destination. If there is no response within a set time, an alert goes to the transport desk or safety officer. This is a safety net for night shifts and solo drops.
Evidence for audits
Digital trip logs, alerts and responses create a record of who travelled, when, and how any incident was handled. That record helps with internal reviews and regulatory checks.
A night-shift checklist for transport heads
- Do you have written consent on file for every woman rostered at night?
- Can your system enforce drop-order rules automatically?
- Who is alerted when a vehicle deviates, and how fast?
- What happens if an arrival call goes unanswered?
- Can you show the trail after an incident?
