Empowering HSE Leaders to Drive Performance with Confidence
A New Reality for HSE Team
Across 2,000 organisations and more than 100 countries, we’ve seen the same shift: managing HSE today means managing more. More complexity, more stakeholders, and more data.
In the last year alone, Red-on-line processed over 30% more regulations and data points than the previous year. This trend is accelerating.
HSE is now central to enterprise risk management, ESG strategy, and overall business performance. Yet many teams still face the same operational barriers: scattered tools, fragmented processes, and growing pressure to do more with less.
That’s why we built Red-on-line Core®.
More than just a redesign, Red-on-line Core® is the new foundation for all our modules and services. From Regulatory Intelligence to Risk Assessment, Incident Management, and Action Plans, it has powerful new capabilities to help HSE leaders execute with clarity, connect their systems, and drive results.
To understand the story behind this transformation, we spoke with the people who shaped it, from our CEO and CPO to the product team. Here is what led to Red-on-line Core®, how it was built, and what it means for the future of HSE.
Section 1: The Why — What Triggered Red-on-line Core®?
Q: What fundamental shifts made this evolution necessary?
Laurent, CEO:
” Our mission has always been to support HSE professionals in the field. But in recent years, the challenges they face have grown exponentially. As the challenges of our clients evolves, our solutions need to evolve, to help them manage more data, more responsibility, gain more strategic visibility across their organisations. “
Rhys, CRO:
” What we’re seeing is not just increased regulatory pressure — but a structural shift. Compliance is no longer siloed in HSE. It’s becoming a shared responsibility across operations, ESG teams, even finance. Red-on-line Core® was built to reflect that shift — giving local teams ownership, while equipping HSE leaders with the tools to guide the organisation with authority and insight. “
Cyril, CPO:
” As the needs of HSE managers and teams evolve, we see an opportunity to help and go beyond Tasks tracked in Excel, KPIs built manually, Compliance follow-up happening outside the platform. With Red-on-line Core we are creating a whole new architecture to centralise execution and insight, while ensuring scalability, interoperability, and real-world usability. “
Section 2: The How — Building Red-on-line Core® with Our Clients
Q: How did you build Red-on-line Core®?
François-Cyril, HSE Engineer & Product Owner:
” Our approach to designing new solutions like Metrics and Task 360 was deeply user-centric. From the very beginning, this wasn’t just an internal idea. We started with a phase of active listening, conducting in-depth interviews with HSE managers to truly understand their daily needs and the concrete challenges they faced. We sat down with HSE leaders, local users, compliance managers. They showed us what worked and what didn’t. “
Maddy, Product Owner:
” This understanding then led to a co-development phase. We built prototypes and put them through rigorous testing with these same users. Their feedback on usability and relevance was absolutely crucial. This constant feedback loop ensured we built solutions that aren’t just technologically innovative, but are also intuitively effective and respond directly to their expectations. This process guarantees Red-on-line Core® will genuinely simplify their day-to-day experience. “
Cyril, CPO:
” Technically, Red-on-line Core® is a complete transformation. We’ve rebuild the system to ensure that data can be shared easily within the organisation of our clients, to ensure that the Red On Line solutuon is well integrated in the ecosystem of tools used by our clients. The platform supports 20 languages with embedded content translation.
Tasks tracked in Excel. KPIs built manually, compliance follow-up happening outside the platform, this is all ovr thanks to Red-on-line Core. And because security is non-negotiable, we have made sure that we renew the ISO 27001 certification of Red-on-line and maintain full GDPR compliance. “
Section 3: The Impact — Measurable Value for Every HSE Team
Q: What does Red-on-line Core® change for clients in practice?
François-Cyril, HSE Engineer & Product Owner:
” The new transversal Task 360 capabilities in Red-on-line Core® are the pivot that bridges the gap between identifying a need and verifying its completion. What our users gain every day is total control and peace of mind in managing their regulatory obligations.
All HSE tasks are now centralised with clear responsibility and perfect traceability. This eliminates the confusion around “who is in charge of what.” Teams can visualise tasks not only by site, but also by theme or priority, which makes orchestrating actions much easier and eliminates organisational bottlenecks. By providing clear visibility on deadlines and responsibilities, Task 360 acts as a powerful shield against non-compliance risks. This allows them to be proactive, know where to act, and work with full confidence. “
Maddy, Product Owner:
” The Metrics module in Red-on-line Core® is more than just a new feature; it’s a revolution in HSE performance tracking. The era of scattered Excel files and tedious data collection is over. The transformation we’re seeing with our clients is twofold and highly impactful.
First, in terms of reliability and efficiency. By automating data collection, we eliminate human errors from manual entry and all the time lost searching and consolidating information. Teams get access to reliable, complete, and real-time data, which is fundamental for accurate analysis and truly informed decisions.
Second, and this is crucial today, the module is an indispensable strategic ally for ESG reporting. It actively prepares teams for these new regulatory requirements by providing robust and validated indicators. This ensures proactive compliance and allows companies to present a solid and transparent image to all their stakeholders. “
Cyril, CPO:
” What excites me is how integrated this becomes. Clients can now connect their HSE data with ESG reporting tools, BI dashboards, or internal systems. This creates a shared language between teams — legal, operational, strategic — and finally gives HSE a central role in decision-making. “
Rhys, CRO:
” This is also about risk reduction, cost efficiency, and credibility. Whether it’s passing audits, aligning with investor expectations, or meeting internal KPIs — Red-on-line Core® helps our clients deliver results they can stand behind. “
Laurent, CEO:
” We’ve built Red-on-line Core® to be useful. That may sound simple, but it matters. Everything we’ve done — from the interface to the architecture — is designed to help our clients work faster, smarter, and with more peace of mind. “
Section 4: The Future — A Foundation for Continuous Improvement
Q: How does Red-on-line Core® prepare clients for what’s next?
Cyril, CPO:
” Red-on-line Core® is just the beginning. We will continue to look at ways to make our clients more efficient when they manage compliance, when they assess risks. We started to leverage the capabilities offered by AI to achieve that goal (with Compliance Assistant) and we will continue to do so. “
Rhys, CRO:
” Our roadmap is deeply aligned with our clients’ journeys. We’re helping them move from static compliance to dynamic performance — and Red-on-line Core® is the foundation for that. It’s not just software — it’s a partnership for long-term transformation. “
Laurent, CEO:
” For me, success is about seeing our clients build safer, more efficient organisations. Red-on-line Core® gives them that power — by simplifying complexity, and delivering the visibility they need to act with confidence. “
