Elisa Oyj: TenForce recognized for AI-powered process safety management that helps high-risk industries improve safety and compliance

TenForce, the EHSQ software provider for high-risk industrial sectors and part of Elisa Industriq, has been recognized in the Green Quadrant: Process Safety Management Software 2026, the independent benchmark published by analyst firm Verdantix.

Process safety remains a critical priority for industries such as chemicals, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and food and beverage. As regulatory requirements become more complex, organizations are increasingly looking for digital tools that help improve safety performance, strengthen compliance, and support operational efficiency.

In its assessment, Verdantix highlighted TenForce's AI-assisted PSM workflows, which combine automation with human oversight to support informed decision-making in safety critical environments. The approach embeds AI into operational workflows to help safety professionals work more effectively while maintaining full control over decisions and accountability.

TenForce brings together process safety management with full breadth of EHSQ functionalities on a single configurable platform, including audits and  inspections, incident management, corrective and preventive actions (CAPA), management of change, contractor management, compliance management, shift management, and quality management. The platform also provides advanced control-of-work capabilities, including permit to work and isolation management.

For customers, this translates into faster and more consistent safety processes. TenForce customers have reported generating permits up to four times faster, and deploying standard software modules within weeks rather than months, helping them accelerate safety improvements and realize value sooner.

"Earning recognition in this benchmark alongside vendors many times our size highlights our strong customer partnerships and commitment to solving their toughest challenges. Safety teams in high-hazard industries need a partner who understands their operational reality, deploys fast, and puts AI to work alongside their experts, not over their heads. That's exactly what we're delivering, and it's why our customers trust us with their most safety-critical work," says CEO Jan Van den Nieuwenhof, TenForce, Elisa Industriq.

This recognition builds on Tenforce's multi-year track record in Verdantix research, including a position in the Leaders' Quadrant in the 2023 Process Safety Management benchmark, and recognition as an Industry Innovator in the 2023 Control of Work assessment.

The Green Quadrant offers a fact-based assessment of leading process safety management (PSM) software providers. The 2026 analysis draws on live product demos, customer interviews, and vendor responses to a 120-point questionnaire spanning 13 capability and 10 momentum categories. Verdantix revised its scoring this year to reflect a maturing market and a greater emphasis on AI - changes that produced clearer differentiation between vendors and a more demanding bar for inclusion.
