PISI Ltd launches E-Alert App, a free emergency security service, as a response to the state of insecurity in Nigeria.
E-alert app is one of the most important applications a person can have on their phone today. The application was created in 2013 by PISI LTD, which aims to help tackle the problem of insecurity in developing countries. PISI Ltd recognizes the need for security in Nigeria and the rest of the world today.
E-alert app guarantees that users can contact help, with or without credit, with just the click of a button. All you need to be located in a dangerous situation is Internet connectivity. There are many cases of kidnappings, terrorism and a multitude of dangerous scenarios that Nigerians as well as many other people in innumerable countries have to face today. E-alert provides some reassurance for you and your loved ones so that you can feel safer.
This is what the application does:
* It has a panic button that sends out alerts in 45 second intervals with your updated GPS location via SMS
* You can insert a maximum of 10 contacts to whom these alerts will be sent in the event that you press the panic button
* The ‘overprotective mother’ feature sends out alerts when you don’t check in at a particular time.
In all emergency situations such as kidnapping, rape, armed robbery, domestic violence, E-alert aims to reassure the safety of its users. The E-alert app is free for everyone to download on iPhone and Android however the blackberry version is soon to be released.
According to the former President of Nigeria Atiku Abubakar, “This creation could be technology’s solution to the frightening rate of criminal activity, such as robbery and sexual harassment. It can also turn out to be a significant tool in our country’s war against kidnappers”.
Though the E-Alert team intends on releasing a premium version, shortly, that offers an improved user experience.
E-alert also seeks to uplift young people by doing its part with regards to social corporate responsibility. 10% of profits will go to a scholarship fund. E-alert will conduct a social media competition on Vine and Twitter for students and the winners will be beneficiaries of the scholarships.
