Halo

Organising the organisers

Halo Solutions, a leader in event safety and venue management, partnered with Atomic to develop a powerful digital solution for real-time incident reporting and team coordination at public events. The goal was to streamline communication between safety teams, security services, and authorities through a seamless, multi-platform system that would enhance operational efficiency and on-the-ground decision-making.

The challenge

Improving safety operations through smarter communication

Event safety is complex, with multiple stakeholders needing to communicate quickly and effectively in high-pressure environments.

Halo Solutions needed a bespoke digital system that would support mobile users in the field while feeding live data into a central dashboard.

The tool needed to be robust, intuitive, and flexible enough to handle the dynamic needs of public event management—ranging from music festivals to national sporting events.

The solution

A multi-platform ecosystem for real-time coordination

Atomic developed a comprehensive digital platform that included a native mobile app for iOS and Android, a secure Admin portal, and a centralised Command Center Dashboard.

Field teams could log, manage, and escalate incidents in real-time, while the web dashboard gave safety officers a clear, live view of all activity. The system included real-time GPS tracking, time-stamped incident logs, and configurable modules, giving organisations the ability to tailor the platform for specific event needs.

All data captured by HALO is tracked in real-time with incident information and messages time-stamped and securely stored in activity logs. Post-event reports can be quickly generated directly within the dashboard – a process that without HALO would take several weeks to complete.

The outcome

Industry adoption and award-winning success

Since launch, HALO has been adopted by high-profile organisations including the Royal Navy, Notting Hill Carnival, and the International Cricket Council.

Its ability to track, log, and resolve incidents in real-time has revolutionised event safety management.

The system reduces reporting timelines from weeks to minutes, and offers full visibility with post-event summaries generated directly from the dashboard.

HALO’s impact has been recognised with three UK App Awards, including Best UK App, cementing its place as a critical tool for modern event operations.
