Smart Safety was immensely helpful to Violet Labs as we built out our software features supporting ISO 26262, functional safety and HARA. Palak is uniquely skilled at distilling this broad, sometimes ambiguous and complex topic into digestible pieces. She also provided great insight on existing gaps in the toolset for functional safety workflows, what would be most valuable to a user, and what wouldn't.

 

We look forward to any future opportunities to work with Smart Safety!
