BuddySOS for schools and campuses
Silent one-tap SOS for staff, sent with exact location, no extra hardware.
What it is
Teachers, staff, and campus security share one live map in BuddySOS, and a one-tap SOS sends the sender's exact location to the group without a sound or dedicated panic hardware. It runs on the iPhones and Android phones staff already carry.
On a school or college campus, the people who can respond fastest are usually already on site. BuddySOS puts staff and campus security on one shared map and turns a single silent tap into an alert with the sender's exact location, using phones they already carry.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Reaching campus security in a fast-moving moment is slow and not always discreet.
- Responders need the exact room or location to move fast, and 'somewhere on campus' costs them time.
- Dedicated panic-button hardware is expensive to install and maintain across a site.
- Staff move between buildings and are often out of immediate contact.
What BuddySOS gives you
- One silent tap sends an SOS with exact coordinates to campus security and chosen staff.
- Everyone in the group appears on one live map, so the closest responder moves first.
- It runs on the phones staff already carry, no wearable or wall hardware to install.
- Location stays visible only to the group, private by default and never sold.
