OnSou for venues

A tool for finding each other. And for being found.

OnSou puts your venue on the map of every group that enters it, and wires the "I need help" button to your on-duty team: exact position, time, and a confirmation the person can see. No app to install, no sign-up, your branding.

00 · What it is

  1. Your own link and QR: whoever scans it creates a group inside your venue, with your points on the map (lifts, aid stations, stages, first aid).
  2. A help button that doesn't just alert friends: it alerts your on-duty team, with the position, and tells the person someone has seen it.
  3. A console for whoever responds: alarm, map, response time, log. And checkpoint control for races.

    Received, and a reply

    The responder presses "Received" or straight away "On our way". The person sees it instantly. That is what changes how waiting feels.

    If there is no coverage

    The alert is stored and sent automatically when the signal returns, with the real time it was pressed. Meanwhile: coordinates at hand, 112 (works on any carrier) and an SMS to the on-duty phone with the position. OnSou alerts, it does not rescue.

    A note on what was done, or "False alert" (blocks the device for 12 hours). Every alert keeps its sent, received and closed times: the report you will want.

Who it is for

01

Ski resorts

Lifts, bars and first aid on the group map. The help button reaches patrollers and control. QR on the pass and at ticket offices. Families find each other without calling.

02

Trail and MTB races

GPX routes with elevation, aid stations and checkpoints. Bib checkpoint control on each volunteer's phone, offline-capable. Sweeper and medics on the direction map.

03

Festivals and town fairs

Stages, bars and toilets on the map. Finding your crew among 20,000 people. Help alerts with prank filtering, routed to security.

What is included

  • Your own link and QRonsou.app/e/your-venue, with your branding and colour.
  • Fixed points and routesYou place them on the map; GPX with elevation profile for races.
  • Alert consoleAlarm, map, timing, quick replies, 24-hour log.
  • Checkpoint controlBibs per point with a code for each volunteer; works offline and syncs later.
  • Direction & controlTwo keys: organisation (everything) and follow (operate only), for medics and base.
  • Usage figuresGroups, people, alerts, by day and by hour.
  • Three languagesCatalan, Spanish and English. No sign-up, no personal data.
  • Satellite-readyThe day your carrier switches on satellite-to-phone coverage, OnSou just works.

What it is not

  • Not an emergency service and no substitute for 112. It relays the alert; the venue responds.
  • It depends on the phone's data coverage. Where there is none, it gives coordinates, SMS and 112, and sends the alert when coverage returns.
  • It tracks nobody outside the group: positions are deleted when the group expires.
