About company
SafeNow

Wir wollen jedem Menschen auf der Welt Sicherheit in die eigene Hand geben – kostenlos. Die SafeNow App ermöglicht dem Nutzer Im Ernstfall sofortigen Zugang zu verfügbarer Hilfe vor Ort, egal ob es sich dabei um Familie, Freunde oder professionelle Helfer handelt. Jedes Mal, wenn sich Menschen über SafeNow verbinden, entscheiden sie, aus Liebe und Fürsorge besser aufeinander aufzupassen.

Für fast alle Bereiche des Lebens gibt es heutzutage sogenannte „Smart Matching"-Apps. Das Prinzip ist sehr ähnlich: A hat ein Bedürfnis, B ein Angebot und eine Plattform organisiert, beide Seiten zusammenzubringen. SafeNow schließt die Lücke im Bereich persönliche Sicherheit, indem es Hilfesuchende mit einem Klick an lokales Sicherheitspersonal oder private Kontakte verbindet.

Über sogenannte „SafeNow-Zonen" können Veranstalter oder Betreiber definierte Bereiche abdecken, in denen Sicherheitskräfte im Ernstfall einen Alarm mit metergenauer Ortung erhalten. Zusätzlich können Nutzer private Gruppen bilden, um sich gegenseitig in Notsituationen zu unterstützen – mit einem Alarm, der auch über „Nicht stören" und „Lautlos" hinwegsetzt.
