Alert channels for critical communication
RapidReach is designed for situations where time and clarity are crucial. When something happens, you need to be able to reach the right people quickly via the right alert channel regardless of whether they are sitting at a computer, moving around a building, working in noisy environments or unable to read a SMS.
With RapidReach, you can combine multiple communication channels within the same alert, thereby increasing the likelihood that the recipient will see, hear and act. You choose which channels to use for each scenario, activity and recipient group.

Why multiple channels?
In critical situations, a single channel is rarely enough. Some people have their phone in their pocket. Others are sitting at a computer. Some are in an environment where sound is crucial. A fourth person may need a silent notification.
With multi-channel communication, you can build a system that is robust in practice:
- Improve accuracy: if you miss a channel, there are alternatives
- Adapt to the situation: silent or with sound depending on scenario
- Reach the whole organisation: even where mobile coverage is poor or mobile phones are not permitted
- Create clarity: the same message, at the same time, to the right recipient

Get acknowledgement and track results in real time
In many situations, simply sending a message is not enough you need to know that it has been received and that the right people are taking action. That is why acknowledgement and audit trail are central to RapidReach.
Depending on the channel, the recipient can acknowledge in various ways, and you can track the outcome in real time. This provides control, reduces manual work and creates a clear basis for follow-up.
Safe and reliable
Up and running when you need it
Communication in emergency situations must be reliable. RapidReach is designed for business-critical applications where stability, availability and security are prioritised.
You can choose between cloud service (SaaS) and locally installed system (on-premises) depending on your requirements. For organisations requiring local control, a on-premises system can provide independence from the internet and simplify integration with existing technology.
