Old visitor check-in tools were causing slow lines and security concerns for the Wausau School District in northern Wisconsin.

The fix: They implemented Visitor Aware!

With flexible, scalable Visitor Aware kiosks, the district has established a quick and efficient check-in procedure that handles large groups of parents and guardians easily.

This is a huge win for both efficiency and school safety, ensuring a secure and positive experience from the moment guests arrive.

You've got the tools: This sends an alert, so does that, and even the other thing.

But you don't need more alerting tools. You need an easy way to leverage what you already have.

That's InformaCast. We connect directly into devices from 75+ technology partners to unify your alerts and make it possible for you to receive instant, simultaneous text, audio, and visual messages delivered across all your in-building and mobile devices from one platform.

An incident in 2017 revealed a critical challenge for Mobile County Public Schools: their emergency communication tools were fragmented and difficult for principals to manage. This time-consuming process was a major liability when seconds mattered most.

But during their search for a solution, they realized the answer was already on campus. An existing InformaCast system, previously used for a simple intercom, had the power to be so much more. By partnering with us, the district unlocked its full potential to create a unified and efficient mass notification system.

This is a powerful reminder that sometimes the best solutions aren't new — they just need to be fully utilized.

Looking to enhance your mass notification system but worried about the cost of new hardware Think again!

You probably have the devices you need already — you just need the right software to connect them all. InformaCast works with over 75 technology partners, so you can seamlessly integrate with your existing setup without the need for a costly rip-and-replace.

A school's emergency plan shouldn't be a source of stress. For Saline Area Schools in Southeast Michigan, it was. They had a single point of access for lockdowns, and their old system for sending alerts was inefficient and often unclear, leading to dangerous misinterpretations.

By implementing our InformaCast solution, we helped them connect devices across their district, allowing staff to initiate alerts with the press of a button.

This isn't just about new technology; it's about giving teachers and staff the peace of mind that their emergency messages will be delivered clearly and reliably, keeping students and the entire school community safer.

Can you believe it? Less than one in five schools have a completely secure front entrance.

The front entrance is the most critical line of defense, but many schools still rely on outdated systems or paper logs, leaving them vulnerable. Modern systems like Visitor Aware strengthen security by digitally screening guests and ensuring only approved individuals get access.

WP Davidson High School, one of the largest public schools in Mobile County, Alabama, had a problem. Built in the 1960s, the school needed a modern solution to unify its disparate systems and serve as a model for the rest of the district.

Their solution? InformaCast!

By using InformaCast as the core of their mass notification system, the school unified disparate technologies, creating a single, reliable alerting system. Watch below to hear from the school staff on how we’ve helped better protect their students and faculty and enhance its safety and communication capabilities.

In 2025, mass emails and texts aren't enough for emergency alerts. Why? Because by the time people check their phones, the situation has already escalated. If your emergency plan relies solely on these methods, you're a step behind.

With InformaCast, you can send critical alerts that are seen and heard immediately. The system pushes text, audio, and visuals to all your speakers and digital signage, cutting through the noise.

Don't wait for people to check their inboxes. Get alerts directly to where your people are, so they can respond faster and stay safe.

The number one security tool schools are investing in is video surveillance — and that's a big problem.

Cameras are a critical part of a security strategy, but they only provide a view of what's unfolding or what has already happened. They don't prevent incidents from occurring. Real-time prevention is key. A modern visitor management system flags issues as soon as someone tries to check in, allowing schools to act before a potential threat has a chance to escalate.

It’s time for school security to be proactive, not passive. Don’t you agree?

Did you miss our April webinar with Pat Hamilton from The "I Love U Guys" Foundation? You're in luck, because we’ve got highlights for you!

In it, Pat shares invaluable advice on a critical aspect of crisis management: giving yourself grace during student-parent reunification. He offers insights on how to refine your process without having to halt it entirely.

Watch below to learn how to make adjustments on the spot and get your reunification plan "down pat."

The biggest mistake a business can make? Thinking, "It won't happen here."

Active shooters. Severe weather. Medical emergencies. These things happen anywhere, anytime. You can't choose the emergency, but you can choose to be prepared.

With a system like InformaCast from Singlewire Software, you have a plan that delivers instant, multi-channel alerts and automated responses — warning your people in seconds.

Don't just react. Be ready. Discover InformaCast today.

Stop "winging it" during a crisis! Pat Hamilton from The "I Love U Guys" Foundation recently shared a critical insight with us: If your reunification plan A is standard, and your plan B is to "wing it," your plan A needs a serious overhaul.

Without a solid, well-rehearsed plan, you risk having community partners step in and take over — which can cause confusion and delay. The key is to get your team together at least twice a year to establish roles, define responsibilities, and work the plan.

This isn't about creating more work; it's about creating a system that works when you need it most — to ensure a smooth, successful reunification process.
