Case Study: Wanaka Search & Rescue improves volunteer visibility and mission coordination with TracPlus

WanakaSAR - Customer Case Study

Wanaka Search and Rescue (WanakaSAR), a volunteer-based charity in New Zealand, operates in challenging and high-risk mountainous terrain. Their challenge was to maintain oversight and communication with volunteers in remote locations during missions to ensure their safety. To address this, they implemented the TracPlus tracking and communications platform.

By using TracPlus, WanakaSAR gained complete real-time visibility of their rescue teams and assets on a common operating picture. This solution from TracPlus enhanced operational efficiency for their 45-55 annual missions and allowed the command center to communicate instantly with volunteers, thereby minimizing risks and increasing the likelihood of successful rescues.
