According to him, the App has an inbuilt navigation component that can direct responders to points of interest, thereby facilitating prompt response and protection of response personnel.
“In the face of growing safety and security challenges globally, we are publicly introducing into Nigerian market our situational awareness App called QERRS.
“The QERRS is a web-based safety and incident management App that makes it possible for a person in distress point to swipe from phone and trigger the report of an occurrence.
“The App is a stand alone, end-to-end solution and a web-based dispatch for quick emergency reporting of incidents by private citizens, for prompt action of responders,” he said.

“The report can be done in silent mode with the knowledge of the victims, or bystanders in case of crime incidents by uploading images of the scene and transmit to control centre.
“The QERRS is a veritable tool for enhancing personal and corporate safety, incident management, security surveillance and emergency coordination.
“This versatile App can be effective in the following areas; accidents, medical emergencies, crime reporting, disaster management, search and rescue operation. (NAN)
