Beacon
Incident Awareness in the Palm of Your Hand.
Internal Designation: Project SOS
The platform consists of a React Native mobile application, a Next.js web control-room portal, and a .NET backend API with Postgres persistence. Mobile users can trigger emergency alerts that are immediately visible to security operators through a centralized dashboard. Designed for white-label deployment, the platform can be adopted by multiple security providers without transferring ownership of the underlying software.
