AlertBlast is an innovative, user-friendly cloud-based platform for sending instantaneous multi-channel alert notifications
The realm of cloud-based communication platforms has seen significant advancements in the past few years, shifting from simple cloud phone systems to comprehensive unified communication platforms. These platforms now include phone systems, messaging, video conferencing, contact center solutions, and seamless calling integration with the leading Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms. The evolution of these systems in terms of technology and usability has profoundly impacted communication practices in a variety of sectors, including businesses, educational institutions, medical practices, and more.
Within the sphere of recent advancements, AlertBlast stands out as an innovative solution, tailored to address a significant problem in our increasingly interconnected society. It caters to the urgent need for a mass notification system that is not only straightforward and dependable, but also robustly designed to withstand the demands of widespread communication.
Necessity of Simplified Alert Systems
The digital era is characterized by an incessant stream of notifications. From emails and text messages to social media updates and breaking news alerts, it’s an era of constant digital interaction. However, this inundation of information often leads to difficulties in distinguishing the crucial from the trivial. An average person receives approximately 63.5 notifications per day (Asurion, 2019). Amid this incessant digital interaction, it can be challenging to distinguish vital alerts from the noise. This is where AlertBlast steps in, providing a platform specifically designed for mission-critical notifications.
Think of AlertBlast as an insurance policy – a 100% guaranteed delivery channel for essential information that could potentially be lifesaving or crucial for business continuity. Recent studies show that nearly 25% of businesses that close due to a disaster do not reopen (Federal Emergency Management Agency, 2021). With AlertBlast, you can ensure that your business isn’t part of this statistic. When emergencies or other unplanned events threaten your business, you can trust that the communication method you’re using will always deliver.
How AlertBlast Works: A Closer Look
Drawing from our 40 years of experience in the telecom and communications infrastructure, we’ve designed AlertBlast as an ultimate notification management platform, ensuring your messages reach the right people at the right time. The platform is characterized by its intuitive program setup, which can be deployed in mere minutes. The process consists of creating your message, choosing the delivery method (e.g., SMS, email, paging systems), selecting your contact group or groups, and hitting send. The recipients then have the ability to respond, updating administrators about their safety or understanding of the message. It is surprisingly simple! Let’s take a look at how one of AlertBlast’s first adaptors used the platform during a recent power outage:
Based in Tennessee, the company was faced with a sudden power outage due to a winter storm. The IT manager quickly created a message about the situation and the company’s action plan, selected SMS and email as the delivery methods, chose the contact groups that needed to be informed, and hit send. The notifications were viewed by 90% of its employees within 5 minutes, reducing downtime and potential revenue loss, allowing them to shift their operations to their disaster recovery site seamlessly.
Beyond Emergencies: AlertBlast’s Versatility
Although initially designed with emergency situations in mind, AlertBlast’s uses extend far beyond that. The platform can be used to communicate a variety of important updates to remote employees, students, patients, and more. Its uses include notifying students of schedule changes, informing remote employees about impending weather conditions, or even sending patients automated appointment reminders.
For instance, a local dental practice has been using AlertBlast for six months now; they use the system to send out appointment reminders to their patients. Since they started using AlertBlast, their no-show rate has dropped by 30%.
AlertBlast: A Comparison
AlertBlast sets itself apart from other notification systems on the market through its unique combination of simplicity, dependability, and flexibility. Unlike its competitors, AlertBlast provides a wider range of delivery channels, while most of them primarily focus on SMS deliverability, a method that has become more complicated recently due to issues with 10DLC. Some other systems also make the process convoluted by integrating their notification delivery with monitoring services.
In terms of pricing, AlertBlast adopts a straightforward approach. The cost is determined purely by the number of notifications you wish to send and your preferred delivery method.
Conclusion
AlertBlast is more than just a simple alert system; it is a powerful platform built with simplicity and reliability in mind. While we live in a world teeming with notifications, AlertBlast provides a tailored solution to cut through the noise and ensure essential communication is delivered instantly and reliably, no matter the situation. In a recent customer survey, 97% of users rated AlertBlast as “excellent” or “very good” for its reliable and instant delivery.
Don’t let your message get lost in the noise. Experience the assurance that comes with knowing your crucial messages will always reach the right people at the right time. Try AlertBlast for your organization’s communication needs today.
