German alarm and crisis management startup Serinus raises €1 million from Creathor Ventures | EU-Startups
Summary
The solution thus offers the possibility of dynamically using cloud resources for alerting via voice call, SMS, mobile app, e-mail or fax and allows for the fast and easy connection of subsystems, ICT components, and IoT sensors to the platform via local gateways. Therefore, we have developed a solution that automatically informs all key players as soon as the first critical signs appear and is so simple and intuitive in its design that no time is lost in initiating the necessary steps to overcome the crisis.” The range of applications includes alarm scenarios (e.g. stand-by alarms, emergency calls, fire and evacuation alarms or the convening of a crisis team), crisis management (e.g. product recalls, cyberattacks, disruptions of production processes or major damage situations) and human-machine interactions (e.g. monitoring of technical building infrastructure, production plants or ICT components). One example of the use of the Serinus solution is the transmission of home emergency calls via app alerts to the smartphones of the nursing staff at Lebenshilfe Berlin. Serinus already counts several well-known customers, including Deutsche Telekom, EnBW, Siemens, Bechtle and the German Red Cross (DRK). “The team has developed a software that sets new standards in the segment of alarm and crisis management, especially regarding ease-of-use and installation effort,” Christian Weniger, Partner at Creathor Ventures.
