In an emergency, a Field Executive can trigger an SOS by pressing the Nanjunda button, which sends SMS and Email notifications alerting the hub-in-charge and nearest Field Executives. To operate this feature, only mobile network connectivity is required, and not mobile data connectivity, thus making it effective in virtually any place within India. Additionally, all Field Executive's phone numbers and locations are provided to all three parties to be able to resolve the situation and/or for help to converge at the location.Advertisement
