South African security tech startup, Trigger, creates national emergency services response app
South African security tech startup Trigger has launched an on-demand national emergency services response app. The new and innovative app provides real-time access to a network of 220 independent armed responses, paramedics, roadside assistance operators, legal advice, and trauma counselling services.
The app aims to provide a solution to the growing demand for easy access to prompt and reliable emergency service response assistance.

Morné Kruger, CEO of Trigger provides further insight into the aim of the app.
“Our aim with Trigger is not just to provide easy access to a smart affordable platform that gives subscribers a choice of emergency services all in one place, but also, in the long term, to enable a shift in behaviour. We want to facilitate a state of wellbeing and freedom to live life with confidence – wherever and whenever – knowing that if needed, assistance is available and can be expedited as quickly as possible.”

How does it work
Launching in 2021, Trigger’s new app utilises eHailing technology for some of its services. The app was born out of the need to create an affordable and accessible platform to assist locals in distress with an array of security or emergency service providers.
Each response partner is provided with an onboard response device, this enables Trigger to provide machine-to-machine dispatch service, removing the middle-man system of call centers.
