Latest Update Offers New Location-Based Features

The latest update for InformaCast Mobile includes location-based emergency notifications for InformaCast Mobile. The mobile app and web interface will now offer users the ability to select areas of interest and establish notification perimeters for designated locations.

InformaCast Mobile users can select up to three static addresses. If an alert is sent to an area of interest that encompasses one or more of those addresses, the user will receive the alert.

Boundary triggers send notifications to users who have entered or left a particular area. In addition, InformaCast Mobile can send messages to anyone using the app within that area.

Applicable for Any Industry

These new features can be applied across a number of industries to help enhance safety, security, awareness and customer service, including:

Approaching patient notices for hospital staff
Warnings for personnel entering restricted areas
Campus lockdowns for colleges and universities

… InformaCast is really the glue for our notification - it can pull in email, our phone system, our speaker system, our visible security system, locks, and make it all work together.

It worked very successfully. We were able to do a complete lockdown on our whole campus within about five minutes of initiating the alert to people.

InformaCast played a key role in notifying our campus about the water main break and the need to use bottled water. I was able to quickly record a message and send it to the campus from my office at home. Our students commented how effective this was in letting them know what was going on.

Bells and paging are one of the most important things for schools... in my opinion, it’s still the most critical, and so choosing the right system and the right partner is very important. The Singlewire system has fit the bill for us.

I like using it, because it’s a simple product to use. You can see behind it that it is a quality product; professionally-built and well-designed.
