Vismo

Combines Mass Notification With Incident Management

The Vismo Incident Management feature provides a scalable system to identify and alert users of any occurring incidents in their location. Crises are learned about via live intelligence feeds from external sources, integrated into the Vismo portal. To help ensure that incident management operates optimally, two-way mass notifications allow organizations to communicate with affected employees. Notifications are sent via multiple channels, including SMS, email, in-app and phone call, targeting the individual, not just the device. Incident management dashboards display the incident location along with identified employees and their safety status responses. If an employee enters an incident location, they will receive a notification informing them of the situation. Image courtesy of Vismo
