Ideagen expands safety solutions with Reactec acquisition

Reactec wearable

August 29, 2025

Ideagen, a global leader in compliance and risk management software, has further strengthened its solutions to support worker health and safety with the acquisition of Reactec, an industry-leading provider of innovative wearable technology with intuitive data analytics.

This acquisition marks a pivotal step in Ideagen's mission to enhance safety and operational excellence for its customers, particularly those in high-risk industries such as mining, construction and manufacturing.

Reactec's workplace wearables and cloud-based analytics enable businesses to take a more proactive approach to the management of workplace hazards such as exposure to vibration, dust, noise and proximity to hazards.  

Ben Dorks, CEO of Ideagen, said:

“This is a significant milestone for Ideagen as we continue to invest in technologies that address real-world challenges faced by our customers.

"Reactec’s wearable technology and data analytics are a perfect complement to our portfolio, putting cutting-edge tools directly into the hands of those who need it most. Together, we are setting new standards for workplace safety and risk mitigation."

Jacqui McLaughlin, CEO of Reactec, shared her enthusiasm for this next chapter, saying:

"At Reactec, our core mission has always been to protect workers and provide actionable insights that foster healthier and safer work environments.

"Becoming part of Ideagen allows us to extend our reach and provide even greater value to organizations that are forward thinking in their approach to enhancing the health and wellbeing of their workers.

“We, like Ideagen, seek to prevent and not simply mitigate risk. We can totally see the value our technology can bring to Ideagen's existing customer base and look forward to working with them to deliver real impact.”

By integrating Reactec’s advanced wearable technology platform with Ideagen’s established suite of environmental health and safety software, customers will gain access to unparalleled tools to monitor and more importantly manage critical workplace health and safety risks.

The acquisition underscores Ideagen’s commitment to driving innovation and delivering comprehensive solutions that support safer healthier compliant workplaces while improving operational efficiency.

Over 16,000 companies trust Ideagen to help solve complex quality, risk, audit and compliance challenges, including some of the world's biggest names in mining and construction, 250 global aviation organizations, nine of the top global aerospace and defense corporations, 15 of the top 20 global pharmaceutical companies, over 900 hospitals and healthcare centres and nine of the top ten accounting firms.

This marks Ideagen's sixth acquisition in 2025, following hot on the heels of WorkSafe Guardian last week, another key addition to their EHS offering. Ideagen have also bolstered their solutions this year with the addition of policy management solution ConvergePoint in (June) and adding SafeFood 360 and Authenticate to their food and beverage solutions in July.
