AppArmor’s custom branded safety apps provide a comprehensive solution in the market for communication and incident response. As people come back to the office, return to school, or simply remove their masks across your community, welcoming them back with a customized content and safety application to help with that transition could prove invaluable.
AppArmor is a proactive and reactive safety tool in the form of a custom-branded mobile safety, emergency notifications and crisis response apps for organizations in the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, Australia & New Zealand, and Europe.
AppArmor’s “user first” philosophy focuses on intuitive interfaces for safety content for end users, affordable pricing for partner organizations, and industry-leading customer service has proven to be a winning combination. The AppArmor method of mass customization has proven both scalable and effective in delivering solutions to help people in a crisis.
The majority of AppArmor customers are in higher education. Colleges and universities across North America have implemented the safety app and utilized its custom branding capabilities. Aside from higher education, AppArmor is often used in healthcare and corporate organizations. AppArmor is deployed statewide in Florida and Hawaii. They also serve K-12 school districts, government agencies and police.
AppArmor can be customized in virtually an endless number of ways. Organizations start by creating their own branded app. For instance, The University of California, Los Angeles UCLA has named their app “Bruins Safe.” Its icon, background colors, and headers can all be customized to fit within the organization’s brand guidelines. The “Designer” Content Management System allows admins to make changes in real-time without having to submit their app to the Appstore. This saves them valuable time when getting safety resources “out there.”
The Designer can also be used to add and remove any of the features of the platform in real time.
Within AppArmor there are both standard and premium features. Standard features are included in the base license for the app, whereas the premium features come at an additional cost.
FriendWalk is the most popular feature on the platform. With the click of a button, users can share their location with a friend in real-time even if the other person doesn’t have the app. Incident Reporting is often used as well and not just to report criminal activity. Users can report a suspicious package, a need for medical response, IT outage, power outage, cyber security issues and more. As for premium features, WorkAlone is highly popular in industries where users may be more isolated for extended periods of time.
The AppArmor platform helps organizations before, during and after emergencies. It is up to the organization to decide how much or how little information they provide their users. To best prepare for success, we suggests providing as many features and resources as possible. For example, organizations can provide valuable information like “What to have in your safety kit” or “What to do if you see a suspicious package.” These resources go a long way in terms of preparing users for potential emergency incidents.
As for the main benefits of AppArmor, the fact that the app is proactive and reactive allows users to have the tools to maximize safety. AppArmor helps users better prepare, respond, and recover from safety incidents. The app connects users to the correct resources and tools so that they do not waste time getting connected to incorrect ones. After an incident, users can also request further assistance and recovery help.
