As a company with a presence in several counties, we needed the capability to have polygon-based weather alerts to notify various offices and staff of severe weather inbound to their location. RapidCast created a Weather Monitor product that allowed us to configure these alerts to staff. We are able to reach people via SMS messages or phone calls with these alerts, automatically, quickly, and without any action on our part. We also use the system to make outbound announcements of either pre-recorded or ad-hoc messages, such as meeting reminders and special notifications. It's a real time-saver in emergency situations, allowing our switchboard operators to make one call to generate many calls to staff, instead of having to make each of these calls themselves. The ability to check delivery of the messages online gives us instant feedback on who's received the messages.
