At the core, the NPS system was created to safeguard communities.
We are proud to introduce a group/user management system unrivalled in the industry called freeMIRROR-Communicate.

The reason for the system

  • Many instant messaging (Telegram/Whatsapp etc) community groups exist for the same purpose.
  • Whatsapp groups have a limit of 255 users per group.
  • Some groups are very geographically widely spread, making some "local" info irrelevant to other group members e.g. dogs running in the street.
  • Reaction groups and security companies cannot monitor all groups.
  • Due to high potential traffic on groups, many users "muted" the group or the group is very strictly "moderated" making it ineffective for emergencies.
  • Group members are seldom vetted and placed on groups that are not applicable to them they then "squad" on groups as they believe it is the right group, they then take a spot that other members may need.

What the system offers

  • Autonomous BOT that never sleeps or rest that is available any time a user requires a service.
  • New/existing member registration on WhatsApp - for user vetting and record keeping.
  • User management.
  • Group management.

How do I get the system?
