Automobile Association (AA) Announces Its Partnership With Mobility Security App CASI. The Automobile Association Of South Africa has announced that it has acquired a 30% stake in mobility security App called CASI.
The Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) has the interests of consumers at the heart of everything it does. In this regard, the Association has diversified its services to provide the most comprehensive mobility services and solutions to the public. The AA is cognisant that being stranded on the side of the road poses great security concerns to motorists and has, over the past three years, being working closely with CASi as a core service provider to mitigate against these security concerns through the provision of effective security solutions. With its partnership with CASi, the AA has advanced its offering to remove the focus from the vehicle to providing a more comprehensive service to the person. This offering, of which CASi forms an integral part, is an advancement of the AA’s services and, critically, has resulted in an improved offering to Members.
“We’ve essentially been in the mobile response business throughout our 92-year history – people on the road need help, call us, and we assist them – so this is a natural extension of the services we offer. Three years ago we added security services through CASi to our roadside and emergency medical response solutions, an addition which strengthens our offering to Members. Buying a significant stake in CASi shows our commitment to the business and the service they provide and underscores our trust in a product that can genuinely mean the difference between life and death,” Willem Groenewald, AA CEO, said in a statement.
CASi is a personalised security app that offers immediate security service provision at the push of a button. CASi is the abbreviation of Calling All Stations Immediately. The security services offered through CASi can be accessed through in-app digital services available on the AA’s mobile app or through a direct download of the AA Armed Response app in the Huawei App Gallery, on the iOS App Store, or the Android Play Store. The armed security service can also be used through GSM propositions in the Rem-i Range (Rem-i Amica or Rem-i WASP devices) and gives users access more than 200 armed security service providers throughout South Africa.
