July 2026

Not every message is an emergency. It still deserves better than a spreadsheet.

Most of what an operations team sends by text isn't an alert. It's the shift reminder, the site-access change, the “gates open at 10, park in blue zone” briefing the night before an event. Today that usually means someone copying numbers out of a spreadsheet into their personal phone: untracked, unrepeatable, and gone the moment they change handsets.

Campaigns fix that.Compose a message to one or more of your recipient lists, and either send it now or schedule it for the moment it is most useful. The send goes out from your workspace's own number, on time, whether or not anyone is at a keyboard.

Campaigns are also two-way. Attach a question with keyword choices, such as “Working the late shift Saturday? Reply YES or NO”, and replies are matched and tallied automatically, per person, in your dashboard. You see who said yes, who said no, and who has said nothing at all. Anything that doesn't match a keyword lands in your inbox as a normal reply, so nothing anyone sends is ever lost.

Plans change, so campaigns bend: pause a send part-way through, resume it, or cancel it outright, with live delivery status for every recipient. And because this is whoot., the informational path is built completely apart from the emergency one, so a routine reminder can never slow down a genuine alert.

Set it, send it, count the replies.

Everything a campaign can do, from composing to the final tally.

Never in the Way of an Alert

Routine traffic, safely in its lane.

The obvious concern with adding routine messaging to a life-safety platform is the day both fire at once. We built for that day first. Campaigns run on their own dispatch pipeline, entirely apart from emergency alerts, sharing your recipient lists and your number but never the alert path itself. Content is reviewed for appropriateness before it goes out, opt-outs are honoured automatically, and every send and reply is logged. Routine messages get a proper system, and urgent ones keep their right of way.

Campaigns run on their own pipeline, completely separate from emergency alerts
Informational traffic can never delay or crowd out a life-safety alert
Message content is checked for appropriateness before dispatch
Recipients can opt out, and opt-outs are honoured automatically
The same recipient lists power both: build them once, use them everywhere
Every campaign, send, and reply is logged for later review

Emergency ResponseSeptember 2026

Say it. Don't type it.

Reporting a problem now takes a voice message and photos, not just a text box. Speak into the page and the recording is transcribed, summarised for the operator triaging it, and dropped into the room your team is already listening to. The same controls appear on the incident response page mid-alert.

Record up to 110 seconds straight from the browser, with no app and no account
Every clip is transcribed automatically and summarised for the operator reading it
Voice messages land in your team's room as radio traffic, not in a queue nobody watches
On a live alert the recording is kept first and processed second, so nothing is ever lost

Emergency ResponseSeptember 2026

The people who see it first don't work for you.

A public reporting page behind the same QR code your sign-up links already use. Anyone can report a chained fire exit, a broken barrier, or behaviour that worries them. You write the questions, and every report lands in a triage queue where your team sets priority and owner.

Public reporting on the page your QR codes already open, with no app and no account
You author the question set: categories, location, and anything else you need asked
Reports arrive in a triage queue with priority, owner, status, and a full activity trail
Priority is set by your team, never by the reporter, so the queue sorts by risk
