Unveiled with the promise of supporting actions to increase personal safety and that of children in the care of individuals other than their parents, SeeMeGlobal is a new app developed by some Nigerians based in the United States.
According to a statement from the developers, the software is a free, permission-based solution that can be used for text messages in addition to voice and video calls.
The creative app’s creator, Concept Technologies LLC, whose CEO is George Kalu, described it as an all-in-one solution that integrates location-sharing and tracker features with HD audio and video calling.
He said that the app’s clarity for voice and video calls outperforms that of WhatsApp, Messenger, and other apps with similar features available on the market. Users may also send and receive free text messages from one another.
Kalu elucidated that the escalating security difficulties, particularly for young adults and working parents, necessitated the development of a solution that would bolster the measures implemented for individual protection as well as the safety of loved ones and dependents.
“The society we live in has become a lot more complicated. While our universe has expanded and has continued to expand, our knowledge of the people we relate with in this increasingly expanding universe has become limited. For example, with the use of our phones, young people can commence relationships with people they know very little about and this comes with huge risks. But with the SeeMeGlobal app, a young lady who is going to see a person she met online can move with stronger assurance if she shared her location with a close friend who would take early action when her personal safety becomes doubtful. Another instance where the App can be very useful is in the cases of working parents who are frequently concerned and distracted from their regular office and business duties about the welfare of their children and wards under the care of nannies at home or in daycare. With SeeMeGlobal, such parents can easily know the whereabouts of their children, their conditions and thus have the peace of mind needed for optimal concentration. We have seen cases where those that care for children either maltreat them in the absence of their parents or even kidnap them. With this app, such situations are reduced to the minimum and parents can rest with reasonable assurance that their loved ones are safe,” he stated.
According to Kalu, SeeMeGlobal was designed to enable occurrences at a shared location to be visible to a person on the other end of the communication, enabling the tracking and arrest of circumstances that would have jeopardised a person’s safety.
“Seemeglobal is the only app in the entire world that has the proprietary ‘Seeme’ feature for location sharing. The app has many unique features, one of which is that you can actually share your location with someone who does not have the app and still extract the same value. From the shared location link that is built into the app, a voice call can be made between the users that are involved. The particular location shared can be seen through Google maps or satellite map as the user chooses. This is important in cases such as abductions where people’s security is compromised. The satellite map is usually better in cases, and will support rescue and intervention efforts for law enforcement agencies or military deployment. Again, the location shared is dynamic as it tags along with the movement of the person who shared his/her location. This means that if the user is on the move, the changes in location are still tracked to ensure effective interdiction by the enforcement people,” Kalu explained.
Also speaking on the new App, the Chief Marketing Officer of the company, Mr. Charles Will-Obong, said in addition to its use for personal security and unrivalled audio/video call quality, SeeMeGlobal was also built to also support businesses that demand real-time management and supervision of employees on remote locations.
“Today’s workplace is increasingly changing. We have many businesses with employees operating from remote locations. While the conventional workplace uses tools such as registers and clock-ins to monitor the presence of staff in the office, the challenge for managers and supervisors of a workforce, especially a sales team in different locations can be arduous. But with SeeMeGlobal app, Business owners can always deploy the tracking and location-sharing features to know the real-time locations of their field workers. This means that employees, vendors and sales teams can hardly pretend to be working even when they are not. The app enables supervisors and managers to monitor in real time what those outside the office location are doing, know exactly where they are at every point in time and this will lead to more productivity and better appraisal by remotely located managers and supervisors,” he stated.
He disclosed that the business is aiming to launch other ground-breaking technology items and applications on the African market soon.
