Fragmented Systems

Many institutions continue to use fragmented systems that make triggering an alert across all systems slow and error-prone. Many people get involved in posting important information on different platforms, causing dangerous delays.

Lack of Direct Notification

The mix of platforms, although extensive, often lacks the core capability of reaching students and staff directly on their phones and landlines. This creates gaps during urgent situations, making it difficult to alert the people.

Limited Multi-Channel & Real-Time Capabilities

Current systems fail to provide real-time, multi-channel delivery and confirmation. Administrators can’t easily verify who received or acknowledged an alert, or select a particular communication channel.

THE SOLUTION

How Alertable Transforms Campus Emergency Alert System with Speed, Integration, and Reliability

Alertable provides Canadian universities and colleges with a unified campus emergency alert system designed for fast, reliable, and multi-channel communication. Built for education environments, Alertable eliminates complexity, connects disconnected systems, and ensures instant delivery of alerts to everyone on and off campus.

Simple and Intuitive

Alertable’s intuitive interface allows administrators to send alerts within seconds without complex menus or technical steps. Whether issuing a campus lockdown or facility closure, safety and communication teams can act immediately with minimal training required.

Seamless Integration

Alertable integrates directly with existing campus tools such as Microsoft Teams, PA systems, digital signage, HR systems, and third-party safety apps, enabling one-click communication across all connected systems and eliminating duplication of effort during time-sensitive situations.

Multi-Channel

Send alerts through app, SMS, voice, email, web, and social media simultaneously. Real-time dashboards confirm delivery and acknowledgements, helping administrators verify who received alerts and trigger follow-ups automatically.

PROBLEM

Queen’s University used a mix of third-party apps, in-building digital displays, website banners, and social media to share urgent information. These tools required manual coordination and did not provide a single way to reach people directly on their phones and landlines, slowing response during emergencies.

SOLUTION

With Alertable in place, Queen’s University delivers campus-wide notifications from a single, centralized system. Alerts can be sent quickly across multiple channels, including SMS, phone, email, and mobile app notifications, improving speed, consistency, and ease of use for campus teams.

IMPACT

With Alertable, the University of Toronto unified emergency communication across all three campuses and reached over 200,000 students and staff. The system has delivered more than 2.6 million notifications instantly and reliably, ensuring that every critical alert is shared in seconds through all channels.
