2 How it works Pg 2

3 In an emergency situation, every second counts. Your vehicles need to get to scene as soon as possible. Getting there faster relies on several factors. The route taken, communication, availability and navigation to the destination of the incident all play a vital role in the efficiency of your operations. RapidDeploy simplifies the complexity of dispatching multiple services, making a real and positive impact on your operation. Since inception, RapidDeploy has dispatched tens of thousands of vehicles without a single minute of downtime, massively reducing response times and saving countless lives. RapidDeploy does mission critical dispatch cheaper, faster and more reliably than anyone else.

4 As soon as a incident is reported, your dispatchers will receive useful, intelligent prompts regarding the type of incident. No more back and forth calls or delays through miscommunication. Using the satellite navigation units or simply their smartphones, your responders will be automatically be assigned and given all the information they need to get to scene as quickly as possible. The traffic data we acquire from multiple sources allows us to give them the fastest route every time, so they re on scene quicker than ever. Every action taken with RapidDeploy is stored and processed to make your system smarter and more efficient. Through the use of advanced telematics, we create full electronic ecosystems that give you complete control of your system from beginning to end. We make the operations we work with faster, more efficient and able to be monitored in real time. As world leaders in dispatch technology, we are able to have a groundbreaking impact on all emergency services efficiencies.

5 Why RapidDeploy? Pg 5

6 RapidDeploy uses leading technology to solve the key challenges faced during dispatch. This is based on practical experience in the field in South Africa. We are differentiated in the market through the following: A robust, responsive system RapidDeploy runs from the cloud in a web browser. Meaning no infrastructure costs for control room implementation There is no risk of losing data, as the system backs up in real time Software updates add value to your business, and you can also choose to roll back updates if required Our system is agile and suitable to any environment, including areas with limited connectivity. Set permissions quickly and easily with clear user roles that each come with their own tailored levels of reporting and access to information RapidDeploy is a smart, responsive system that allows users to alter their profiles without having to contact technical support Design your system to suit you, with the ability to create ad hoc orders, with new dynamic forms to match

7 Quick, simple and accurate address capture Whether you re on land or sea, in a rural or urban area, we have the technology to capture incident locations with speed and accuracy We capture intelligent address information from a range of sources, including street addresses, Google search, TomTom database lookup, Latitude/Longitude input, what3words, and custom pre-defined POI s This attention to detail means that we can pinpoint an address at a cross road or intersection with no confusion or delay Our approach also extends to how the system allocates responders in an area, using a geo-fenced boundary set up in the system We focus on the detail, creating a clear picture of the exact location and type of incident. For this reason, our system displays different map layers depending on the environment of the incident Intelligent mobile workforce management RapidDeploy keeps track of your fleet in real time, and displays different vehicle icons depending on the vehicles work state This monitoring extends to the warning lights and fuel consumption of vehicles, ensuring they are fit to act quickly and safely on the road This data allows for the reporting and analysis of both the performance of the driver and vehicle No vehicle is unaccounted for, as updates are sent to the system in less than 90 seconds With advanced telematics, the system can toggle any trackable resource s GPS tracks on a map and interfaces with Globalstar s asset tracking GPS spottrace devices to track assets in real time

8 Efficient bulk dispatching An electronic system streamlines the communication channels, allowing your vehicles to automatically accept incoming calls regarding an order RapidDeploy is agile, and can respond to both scheduled and ad hoc orders and incidents. Our system has the built-in intelligence to capture a call and order and allocate it to the nearest vehicle, knowing when to dispatch one individual or a group of vehicles No order is the same, which is why we have built in the functionality to customise scripts based on the call type Once the call has been captured, RapidDeploy tracks every stage of the workflow for the specific order Any event, past or present, lives on in your system so your dispatch can learn from it and report on it. You are able to search easily in the system for any order captured using RapidDeploy Open calls are clearly differentiated through the use of a separate menu with an open order counter Our system also extends beyond your team, keeping a record of every external resource involved in an operation The quickest possible route, every time RapidDeploy s advanced, dynamic platform creates optimised routes based on data that includes the allocated time slot, time on site, location and final destination Every route is an opportunity to learn and improve, so our system saves each route centrally and to the vehicle as a managed workflow

9 Reporting Our reporting reflects industry standards and can be customised to your specific business needs RapidDeploy s dynamic heat map reporting helps to identify busy areas and define future resource planning including standby areas and depots There is no opportunity for manipulation, as the system is closed and identified with clear and auditable date stamps We offer various formats for simple reporting, including PDF reports at the end of each order and unlimited report definitions that create ad hoc reports in MS Excel file format Our system includes a fully indexed, searchable electronic Occurrence Book operating on both order level and as a standalone service Communication Our system streamlines communication, integrating it with the Telegram Messaging app for intelligent information dispersal. Information is classified within our system by order Type or Area Group We have our backup communication in the event of a low data environment for low mobile environment. This means that we communicate in two ways in the field, either using the mobile app or using SMS as a failover Through our years in the field, we have perfected a proven API that can pass on and receive information from external sources RapidDeploy is able to integrate with any ERP system, automatically generating orders.
