Aura teams up with The Courier Guy

Aura, a company that focuses on personal security through mobile and GPS technology, has partnered with The Courier Guy to ensure the safety of its drivers and packages, via a mobile panic app and a panic button. 

The solution lets drivers request mobile emergency response in the event of an accident or the threat of a crime. As soon as the panic button or app is activated Aura automatically dispatches the closest armed response vehicle.

Aura founder and CEO Warren Myers says that, as soon as a The Courier Guy driver activates the panic button, the user’s name, phone number and updated location are sent into Aura’s API. 

“Once received, a network of 180 armed response companies across the country with live responder technology are alerted. Responders who are within 10 minutes (which is pre-calculated via Google Maps’ API) are immediately notified. The first responder to accept the panic response is then directed to the user via the fastest route.”

Platform: Android and iOS

Expect to pay: Monthly payments are determined on the number of drivers
