BuddySOS for security teams
Every team member on one live map. One tap brings backup with exact position.
What it is
BuddySOS is a group safety app for security teams on iOS and Android. Every team member appears on one live GPS map, and a one-tap SOS calls backup with the member's exact position, quietly, without a verbal radio call.
Security and event-safety teams need to know where everyone is and call backup without fumbling for a radio. BuddySOS puts the whole team on one shared live map and turns a single tap into a backup call with the person's exact coordinates.
Why standard apps fall short here
- Radio calls are slow under pressure and broadcast the situation to anyone listening.
- Without a live map, a supervisor cannot see where the nearest available officer is.
- Lone or roaming staff can be out of contact across a large site.
- Dedicated radio and tracking hardware is expensive to issue across a team.
What BuddySOS gives you
- Every team member's live position on one shared map.
- One-tap SOS that sends exact coordinates to the team, so the closest person can respond first.
- Works silently, without a verbal radio call that others can overhear.
- Runs on the phones the team already carries, with location visible to the team only.
Questions about using BuddySOS at security teams
Can a supervisor see the whole team at once?
Yes. Every member of the group appears on one live map, so a supervisor can see positions in real time and direct the nearest available person to an incident.
Does BuddySOS replace dedicated security hardware?
BuddySOS runs on standard iOS and Android phones and provides live location plus one-tap SOS without issuing radios or trackers. Teams with specialized requirements can use it alongside existing systems.
Free for groups. Forever.
