Where Phoenix earns its place on a nfps shift.
Why Phoenix fits nfps teams in New Zealand.
Two-way audio direct to the Operations Centre. Operators listen, locate, and dispatch within seconds.
GPS outdoors. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth beacons indoors. Dispatch knows the floor, not just the address.
Five-megapixel camera triggered on alert. Operators see what is happening, not just where.
Where Duress earns its place on a not-for-profits & community services shift.
Each scenario maps to a Duress product and to an outcome we can show in the audit log.
-
App ›An outreach worker on the street at 2am.
Duress App on the phone they already carry. Slide-to-alert, live audio to operators, manager paged in parallel. No second device to explain to the person they're trying to help.
-
Phoenix ›A family support worker on a difficult home visit.
Phoenix on a breakaway lanyard, hidden from view. Silent activation when escalation rises. No alarm sound to inflame the room. Just a live operator and a manager already moving.
-
App ›A mental-health responder at a crisis call-out.
Two-way voice from the Duress App keeps the Operations Centre on the line while the worker walks to safety. Audio recorded for clinical handover and the incident report your funder will want.
-
Phoenix ›A disability-support worker between visits.
Phoenix in the pocket, Safety Timer set on the walk in. If they don't cancel, the alert routes automatically. No requirement to remember to check in if everything is fine, just a quiet check that everything is.
-
App ›A volunteer on an emergency call-out.
Duress App provisioned per-licence. The volunteer downloads, signs in, they're covered. Issue a licence when they start their shift, release it when they're done. No device shipping for short-term volunteers.

PathfinderQuarterly funder report, NDIS audit, board paper.
Pathfinder produces the activation log: time, worker, client (anonymised where required), audio, dispatch chain, outcome. Funder-grade evidence built from real activations, not retrospective notes.
