Learn more →Customers and contractors report an incident via QR codes posted around the store. SMS OTP verification prevents spam; registered Team Leader reports create incidents immediately, while unregistered reports become drafts for Store Manager review.
Learn more →Chain-wide incident history, date-range filters and compliance exports across every store. Each store runs on its own subdomain with isolated data; head-office reporting aggregates across them.
Learn more →AI drafts under-155-character messages to all Team Members during a security incident. The Store Manager reviews and edits every draft before sending — advisory output, no auto-send. A fast-tier AI model drives the drafting for speed.
Learn more →A Team Leader in the homewares area of a department store spots smoke coming from a stockroom. She taps the Report Incident QR code next to the back-of-house door, verifies her mobile number via SMS OTP, and is greeted by name.
She selects Fire — Smoke Detected, picks the stockroom location, and taps Submit. The Store Manager’s phone fires. Every Team Leader in the store sees a broadcast “Prepare to Leave” card.
Customers are quietly walked towards exits. When sprinklers activate and the Store Manager escalates to “Evacuate Now”, every Team Leader sees the new card instantly on their own phone — no radio coordination needed.
The store reopens 45 minutes later with a full timeline and stakeholder summary already drafted.
