Case Study: RapidDeploy achieves faster, more precise emergency response with what3words

Faster emergency response with what3words and RapidDeploy

RapidDeploy, a South Africa–based emergency dispatch platform working with ambulance, rescue and security fleets, faced a critical location challenge: poor addressing and geocoding—especially in rural and maritime areas—made it hard to identify and communicate the precise location of people in need.

By integrating what3words’ 3 m x 3 m global grid, RapidDeploy can now pinpoint incidents (including on open sea) with simple three-word addresses that are easily shared between services. The result is more accurate location data, smoother coordination between crews and faster response times, allowing responders to focus on saving lives.
