THE CHALLENGE

Understanding the core problem before building the solution.

Building a field-ready app that works flawlessly under pressure — responders need instant alert notifications, accurate navigation to the scene, and reliable communication with the command centre, all while dealing with poor connectivity and high-stress situations.

OUR APPROACH

Design-led development, from
concept to launch.

Developed a purpose-built Flutter application optimized for speed and reliability. Push notifications wake the device instantly on new alerts. Turn-by-turn navigation launches automatically. Status updates flow in real time to the command centre. The entire UX is designed for one-handed, glove-friendly operation.

01

Discovery & Research

Deep-dive into user behaviors, competitor analysis, and stakeholder interviews to define the product vision.

02

Design & Prototype

Wireframes evolved into high-fidelity prototypes, tested with real users across multiple iterations.

03

Build & Iterate

Flutter development with CI/CD pipelines, Laravel APIs, and a MySQL backend engineered for scale.

KEY FEATURES

What makes this
project unique.

Priority notifications that cut through
INSTANT ALERTS

Priority notifications that cut through

High-priority push notifications with custom alert sounds bypass Do Not Disturb settings. Responders see the incident type, distance, and location preview before accepting — all within seconds of the SOS being triggered.

FIELD NAVIGATION

Fastest route to the scene

One-tap navigation launches turn-by-turn directions via Google Maps. The app calculates optimal routes factoring in real-time traffic, and continuously shares the responder's live location with the command centre and the user in distress.

INCIDENT MANAGEMENT
