The Problem

Retail Is Digitally Smart. Emergency Response Is Still Analog.

Your stores are equipped with AI cameras, analytics platforms, weapon detection, and LP teams. But when a real incident escalates — a weapon is detected, a panic button is triggered, a 911 call is placed — the handoff to public safety is still a 10-digit phone call, a verbal description, and manual data entry.

That gap costs time. Time costs lives, revenue, and brand trust.

The Numbers
$132B in annual retail shrink losses
93% increase in shoplifting since 2019
300+ worker fatalities in retail in 2024
9% same-store sales impact sustained for 12 weeks after a violent incident

Scalable Safety Solutions for the Modern Storefront

Solution

Digital Emergency Escalation

RapidSOS links your security operations directly to the world’s largest safety network. By unifying your GSOCs security system and 911 data into a single operating picture, we empower your GSOC to escalate digitally, and provide responders with the intelligence needed to protect your people and assets.

How it Works: Digital Emergency Escalation

Detection
Onsite security cameras or sensors detect a burglary in progress.

GSOC Notification
Your Global Security Operations Center (GSOC) team verifies burglary in process.

3. Escalation - Retail burglary

Digital 911 Escalation
Your GSOC escalates to 911 via RapidSOS digital connection. Bypassing phone-based delays by delivering verified data to the local 911 center.

4. Informed Field Response - Retail burglary

Informed Field Response
First responders arrive with critical intelligence. Reducing risk to customers/associates and ensuring help arrives where it’s needed.

Digital Emergency Coordination

RapidSOS gives your GSOC immediate visibility into 911 calls made on your property. By bridging the gap between local emergency centers and your security team, we provide the “ding before the ring”—delivering real-time situational awareness and a digital communication channel to 911. This allows your GSOC to verify incidents, activate SOPs, and share critical updates with 911.

911 Call on Premise: Incident details, map and location, radio transmission and more incident data shown

How it Works: Digital Emergency Coordination

1. Detection Retail car fire- 911 call is placed

Detection
A car fire is detected in your parking lot. A bystander dials 911, triggering an immediate data flow through RapidSOS.

2. 911 call alert to both 911 ECC and GSOC

Proactive GSOC Alerting
Using intelligent geofencing, RapidSOS identifies the event is on your property. An alert is routed to your GSOC at the same time it reaches the 911 center.

3. SOP activation by GSOC thanks to 911 call alert and data from RapidSOS

Immediate SOP Activation
Your GSOC team initiates your SOP. You can deploy onsite security teams before the phone even rings at your desk.

4. Digital connection to 911

Digital Coordination
Digitally communicate with 911 via RapidSOS. By sharing real-time updates you reduce unnecessary field response and protect your store operations.

From blind spots to proactive coordination

With RapidSOS, GSOCs no longer find out about emergencies minutes or hours later — they act as soon as 911 does. That means faster response, better coordination, and reduced risk across your enterprise footprint.
