In this featured piece by Facility Executive, the outlet reports on Singlewire Software’s launch of the InformaCast Personal Duress Package, which gives organizations a way to provide personal protection for workers through a panic button in the InformaCast app and integration with Kontakt.io wearable badges. The package, available to new and current InformaCast customers, lets workers set off alerts through a pre-configured app button or a badge button, both of which send the worker’s name and location to internal safety teams so they can respond quickly. Additional options include desktop panic buttons configured as keyboard shortcuts, virtual panic buttons on desktop phones, and integrations with physical panic buttons. Future functionality is planned to route alerts directly to 911 dispatchers, helping organizations meet the requirements of Alyssa’s Law.

Original Story
Singlewire Software launched the InformaCast Personal Duress Package. The package offers organizations a means to provide personal protection to workers via a panic button. The package will be available to new and current InformaCast Fusion customers.
The InformaCast Personal Duress Package offers different ways workers can trigger notifications to request assistance. First, using a pre-configured button in the InformaCast app, workers can trigger an alert that is sent to internal safety teams with their name and location so they quickly deploy a response. The user is given instructions within the app, and the option to contact the safety team directly via a phone call.
The InformaCast emergency notification system is implemented at organizations around the world to assist with safety and security issues. In the event of a network outage, power failure, or other disruption to your primary InformaCast Advanced server, a secondary InformaCast Advanced server automatically takes over. With the InformaCast Fusion Server Appliance and the optional High Availability service, local InformaCast messaging will continue to function when your wide-area network is down.
