Case Study
How Kretingos Vandenys Automated Sobriety and Work Time Control Without Extra Resources
Why the Company Chose Worksober?
Before implementing Worksober, sobriety checks were performed manually using portable breathalyzers. Supervisors only tested employees when suspicions arose, creating risks of human error and inconsistency. At the same time, work time tracking was done manually — each evening, managers had to record attendance data by hand, which was both time-consuming and inefficient.
These processes distracted supervisors from their primary duties and prevented access to accurate, real-time data. Therefore, the key criteria for choosing Worksober were:
- The ability to automate both sobriety testing and time registration;
- Reduced administrative workload for managers;
- Quick and easy access to data without additional equipment maintenance.
How Worksober Helped?
Three stationary Worksober devices were installed across all company branches. Every employee is tested twice a day — when arriving and when leaving work. This ensures consistent sobriety control and precise time tracking.
Managers receive a weekly report summarizing company-wide results. In case of a violation, three designated supervisors are automatically notified via SMS, allowing for immediate response without daily manual checks.
The implemented system includes:
- Contact-based sobriety testing;
- Automated work time registration;
- Customized reporting options.
Results
After implementing Worksober:
- The administrative workload for managers was significantly reduced: no more manual time tracking or on-site sobriety checks;
- Employee discipline improved: only a few minor violations were recorded in a year, all at minimal alcohol levels;
- The system became a transparent part of the company’s daily routine: all data is logged automatically and easily accessible;
- Processes became efficient and preventive: employees understand that testing applies equally to everyone, with no exceptions.
Summary
Worksober helped Kretingos Vandenys replace inefficient manual routines with a digital, automated system that operates daily — without extra staff, human errors, or morning data reviews. It’s a simple yet powerful step toward a more transparent and sustainable internal control culture.
“Employees perform the test when arriving and leaving work, and managers only need to review reports if necessary. The system provides all the data we need, and in case of a violation, supervisors are notified automatically.”
