The Oropala Story
Oropala was created and founded in 2015. The company partnered with three Fortune 500 utilities and a Fortune 500 pipeline company, and developed a safety tracking software to support a North America wide safety initiative. Those products became known as ShovelSafe and ShovelSecure, and they continue to be used broadly by contractors and utilities. Oropala continued to expand its offerings to other construction related activities and today serves many of the largest contractors and utilities in North America.
