Webinar Date: August 6, 2020
Presented by: Key Distribution Partners, LLC
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses, medical practices, and institutions to implement various measures to promote the safety and confidence of their employees, customers, and patients.

Enforcement of these procedures however can lead to increased costs and potential exposure of other employees.
Our guest speakers from Key Distribution Partners and CCTV Agent, Inc., explore what technologies are coming to the market to execute and document enforcement of these procedures in a more efficient manner.
