One Result and StaySafe
One Result is the technology partner for Safe Apps Ltd with Graham Mills. One Result was originally approached by Graham Mills the MD of Technics Group to develop a safety application that helped protect Lone Workers. After seeing the huge potential in the idea One Result offered Graham the option to not just pay to have the app developed but for One Result to become a partner in the project and provide reduced development costs in exchange for equity. This is something that One Result has been doing for various technology startups through the Innovation Central programme.
Graham says, “Working with One Result has been fantastic, they are technically very strong but also have great commercial awareness. This blend of technology and business acumen is difficult to find and is the reason I selected to partner with them for StaySafe.”
The App
The application provides a great safety tool for anyone travelling, relaxing or working alone or in a vulnerable situation. The app uses GPS tracking to locate the user's position and reports to their chosen emergency contacts should the user not “Check in” within the designated time. The app also notifies the user's contacts when they start a new tracking session or checkin safely as well. For more information about the application please visit www.staysafeapp.com.
About the #SBS

Businesses have to describe their business in one important tweet with the hashtag #SBS.
Theo says, “I admire people who have passion and energy. I was struck by the number of business owners on Twitter who wanted to tell me about their new products and services. Small Business Sunday was born so that people have a specific time slot to tweet and can pitch their ‘sell’ directly to me.”
The Benefits
