Problem
Individuals and organizations often lack a reliable way to share real‑time location information with trusted contacts, making it difficult to ensure personal safety, coordinate teams, or verify arrivals at designated places.
Solution
Saferplaces provides a cloud‑based platform and mobile application that enables users to create private “places” and share their live location with selected contacts. Users can set up geofenced zones, receive automatic arrival and departure notifications, and trigger alerts if a device leaves a predefined area. The service stores location data securely and offers a web dashboard for administrators to monitor multiple users and generate activity reports. Integration with standard authentication methods ensures that only authorized participants can view or manage a place. By combining real‑time GPS tracking with configurable privacy controls, Saferplaces helps users maintain situational awareness while protecting personal data.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals seeking personal safety tools (e.g., travelers, seniors, parents) and organizations that need to track field staff, volunteers, or logistics teams.
