Each of these input devices are capable of triggering local announcements as well as launching cloud events to meet ever changing organizational needs. 

TextSpeak Notify! Cloud Service

The Notify! Cloud service is the enterprise grade SaaS alert management platform at the center of the TextSpeak Notify! solution that provides control from central operation centers or on-premise at each store location for management of authorized users, messages, schedules and assignments of buttons, sensors, and devices.

The service supports multi-medium notification distribution via on-site audio broadcasts, eAlerts (SMS, email, automated phone calls), network API calls and 3rd party integrations.

Notify! Message Schedules

Each Notify! location supports a database of schedules that can be applied to specific messages and cause them to be played as audio over speakers and/or digitally routed to specific destinations based on a relevant business schedule.
