HALOGEN Group and Emergency Response Africa (ERA) have announced a new partnership aimed at strengthening emergency response capabilities and enhancing community resilience. ERA will join forces with Halogen Group to provide a more comprehensive emergency response service, leveraging Halogen’s physical security response network as part of the features available on SIGNAL, an emergency response app earlier introduced by ERA.
The newly reconfigured SIGNAL app which is available on the Google Play Store and iOS app store, reflects a strategic alliance by the two leading emergency response organizations to enable users request both medical aid and security services during emergencies by leveraging the expertise and resources of both organizations.
According to Wale Olaoye, CEO, Halogen Group, the launch of the expanded SIGNAL Emergency app is a significant milestone for crisis management in Nigeria. His words: “We are thrilled to partner with ERA to strengthen emergency response efforts in Nigeria and make a meaningful impact on the communities we serve, This collaboration will enable us reach more users in time, especially at a period when they might be in emotional distress and need all the help they can get, furthering our mission of providing critical support during times of crisis.”
Olaoye explained that the collaboration further reflects Halogen’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology and strategic partnerships with leading new frontier players to further deepen the delivery of its ‘Safety in an Open World’ mandate.
