Bossware and Employment Tech Database
NOVEMBER 17, 2021 | COWORKER.ORG
Could your boss be an app? Since 2018 we’ve seen a rise in the use of tech to manage the world’s labor force. Coworker.org’s Bossware and Employment Tech database compiles more than 550 labor-focused technology products that are changing our relationship to work.
Little Tech Is Coming for Workers, an accompanying report, seeks to address the proliferation of these technologies and analyzes the ways they’re harming workers, labor standards, and the economy.
are you a worker who interacts with any of the tech in our database?
For press inquiries contact [email protected].
In the database you’ll find companies — and their products and investors — that touch every part of the labor process, from hiring to productivity monitoring and more. Organized by category, type, and date founded, the database covers products that use technology like AI, location tracking, and biometrics to manage employees and collect their data — often without their knowledge.
Use the table and the filters below to learn more about the companies behind this emerging trend:

For example, a business can use AWS Panorama to evaluate manufacturing quality, identify bottlenecks in industrial processes, and monitor workplace safety and security, even in environments with limited or no internet connectivity | In Use | Parkland, BPx Energy, Cargill, Fender | Manufacturing, Oil and Gas, Warehouses | N/A | Company-provided device | Centralized | Off the shelf, workers

AWS Panorma does not, by default, have any facial recognition features However, campaigners have said that organizations can add third party 'plugins' to the tool that effortlessly integrate facial recognition technology with this product | In the product FAQs, Amazon describes this product as having the following functionality: * "AWS Panorama is a new machine learning Appliance and SDK, that allow organizations to bring computer vision to their on-premises cameras to make automated predictions with high accuracy and low latency With AWS Panorama, companies can use compute power at the edge (without requiring video streamed to the cloud) to improve their operations, by automating monitoring and visual inspection tasks like evaluating manufacturing quality, finding bottlenecks in industrial processes, and assessing worker safety within their facilities" * "Many customers face challenges improving their physical systems, whether it be increasing manufacturing quality, ensuring safety or operating compliance of their facilities, or gaining insight about customer behavior inside retail locations To do this today, customers have employees monitor live video of the facility or equipment, or they review recorded footage after a problem or incident has occurred These methods are manual, error prone, and difficult to scale Customers have begun to take advantage of computer vision models running in the cloud to automate these inspection tasks, but there are circumstances when relying exclusively on the cloud isn’t optimal due to latency requirements or intermittent connectivity that make a round trip to the cloud infeasible You can use AWS Panorama to support scenarios that have low latency or local data processing requirements, and in locations that may not have reliable network bandwidth or connectivity AWS Panorama customers typically need to generate near real-time responses to end user applications or need to communicate with other on-premises systems or control on-site equipment such as for automated operations in manufacturing, crowd density monitoring in airports, worker safety in warehouses, extracting text from vials in labs, and quality assessment is production lines and factory floors" * "While customers can take advantage of AWS Services and use them as building blocks to develop a custom edge computer vision deployment solution, AWS Panorama offers an integrated edge-to-cloud workflow making it easy to build, manage, and deploy computer vision solutions AWS Panorama removes the heavy lifting from each step of the computer vision process by integrating with familiar AWS services such as AWS SageMaker so you can build and train your CV models easily The AWS Panorama Appliance enables you to run your CV models directly on the device (at the edge), right where the data is created, meaning you can get access to real-time predictions even in remote and isolated places where network connectivity can be slow, expensive, or intermittent AWS Panorama application results can be integrated with on-premises line of business applications for automation and can be routed to services such as Amazon S3, Amazon Kinesis Video Streams or Amazon CloudWatch for deriving actionable insights to drive process improvements" | Yes | Data is continuously being collected while a worker is working | Individual

The LenddoScore can be deployed at the wide end of the funnel to prioritize applications or within an existing underwriting scorecard to reduce risk or approve more applications. The LenddoScore complements traditional underwriting tools, like credit scores, because it relies exclusively on non-traditional data derived from a customer’s social data and online behavior. When the LenddoScore is added to a traditional underwriting scorecard, it has been proven to better discriminate between good and bad borrowers" * "Embedding Lenddo’s verification service into an online or mobile application process enables clients to quickly check the veracity of the information reported on the application The Verification Service returns 'Verified,' 'Not Verified,' and 'Unable to Verify' results for application fields, which include name, date of birth, email address, employer, university, and, if desired, mobile phone number (using SMS code for authentication) These results include up to 19 'reason codes' that offer more detail about our findings. The Verification Service has been found to be more than 99% accurate for name verification with greater than 97% coverage. Lenders use the verification results to fast track an application, reduce required documentation, or eliminate manual checks.

From this, Microsoft could track a number of different data points, such as: duration of time spent writing an email; time spent reading an email; number of times a user refreshes their inbox; number of emails written / number of emails read; number of corrections made when writing an email; who’s on the recipient list for each email; number of meetings in a day; audio data from meetings (via microphones on a device); how hard each key press is on the keyboard; the tone of language in an email. By cross-checking this with biometric data (e.g., from a secondary device like a Fitbit), Microsoft could begin to understand what work events are triggering anxiety * For example, if a user receives an email from their manager, Microsoft might see that the user spent a higher-than-average amount of time reading the email, and their blood pressure was also elevated during this time. Based on these insights, Microsoft could surface recommendations for helping users manage their stress levels, as well as helping highlight events that trigger anxiety | In Development | N/A | All sectors | N/A - publicly listed | company-provided device | Centralized | N/A | N/A | United States | United States | No | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | N/A | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | Unknown | N/A | Unknown | Unknown | N/A | N/A | N/A | Unavailable | N/A | N/A | Microsoft Corporation | https://www.microsoft.com/ | No | |

For example, imagine someone is walking in front of a vehicle and the system can see that the driver is not looking out the windshield. The system could determine that a user won’t be able to stop the vehicle in time, so it could intervene to stop the vehicle * In order to train models that can estimate a driver’s gaze, Nvidia would need to train a model on drivers looking at various points of interest in a vehicle. Once enough data is collected, the model can be rolled out for that specific vehicle * Besides tracking for distraction, Nvidia imagine looking at a driver’s gaze for understanding the context behind voice instructions in a vehicle.
