BuddySOS for production and event crews
See every crew member live on an empty site. SOS fires with exact coordinates.
What it is
Every crew member appears on a shared live map in BuddySOS, and a one-tap SOS sends exact GPS coordinates to the rest of the crew, whether the site is finished or still half-built. It runs on iOS and Android.
Build and strike happen on sites that are half-finished and changing by the hour. BuddySOS keeps a production or event crew on one live map across the whole site and turns a single tap into an SOS with exact coordinates when something goes wrong.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Open sites and empty fields have no signage and no clear way to direct people.
- Crew is spread across staging, load-in, and the build with no shared view of who is where.
- When someone is hurt on a large site, finding them costs critical minutes.
- Radios are limited and easy to leave behind during a long build.
What BuddySOS gives you
- Every crew member's live position sits on one shared map across the whole site.
- A one-tap SOS sends exact coordinates, so help reaches the right spot fast.
- Load-in, staging, and strike get coordinated without anyone guessing where people are.
- It runs on phones the crew already carries, visible to the crew only.
Questions about using BuddySOS at production & event crews
Does BuddySOS work on a site before it is built out?
Yes. BuddySOS uses GPS, so the live map works on an empty field or a half-built site as long as crew phones have a data connection. It is useful exactly when there is no signage to navigate by.
