MCLEAN, Virginia, Oct. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (NASDAQ:

using Appian's Workforce Safety solution to automate the process of
helping manage the safe and healthy return of the majority of its
U.S. workforce to the workplace in phases, and in accordance with
local health conditions. The solution, built on the Appian Low-code
Automation Platform, enables Volkswagen to manage the complexities
of the workplace return, including prioritizing workforce health
and workplace safety.
Volkswagen Group of America is the North American operational
headquarters and a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG (FWB: VOW), one of
the world's leading automobile manufacturers and the largest

which includes the Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bugatti, and

Volkswagen needed a comprehensive mobile solution that could be
up-and-running quickly, and that was easily configurable. The
Workforce Safety solution, hosted in Appian's HIPAA-compliant and
HiTRUST-certified cloud, provides Volkswagen a fully integrated
solution with a central command center to monitor the health and
work status of its employees across all locations in real-time. The
solution's Mobile Pass feature uses fast, easy, and self-reported
employee health screening to automatically and intelligently
generate "safe to return" designations that are displayed on an
employee's mobile device. Complete case management capabilities
enable contact tracing and fast resolution of exceptions and
appeals.
