Enhancing Emergency Response and Reporting with EntrySign and Vivi
Ensuring the safety of staff and visitors on your premises while maintaining seamless communication is a top priority for most organisations. Integrating EntrySign’s evacuation and lockdown features with Vivi’s emergency alerts and messaging offers a powerful solution that schools and businesses cannot afford to overlook.
A Dynamic Duo: Emergency Reporting and Critical Alerts
EntrySign’s evacuation and lockdown modes protect schools and businesses during critical situations. In an emergency such as a fire, intruder alert, or security hazard, authorised personnel can quickly activate EntrySign’s lockdown or evacuation mode. When triggered, the system instantly sends a real-time site report to email addresses and printers, ensuring a fast, organised response.
Enhancing EntrySign’s evacuation procedure, Vivi’s emergency alerts communicate vital messages and instructions efficiently. Vivi’s platform displays instant alerts on screens and directional evacuation instructions, ensuring critical information reaches everyone quickly to enhance safety.
How They Work Together
- Streamlined Reporting: Activating an evacuation or lockdown in EntrySign, initiates an emergency roll call report to be sent to specified email addresses and printers in seconds.
- Clear Visual Alerts: Simultaneously, this triggers Vivi to immediately display personalised emergency signage and alerts on all connected screens and devices.
- Guided Evacuations: During an evacuation, visual aids like arrows or maps can guide occupants to the nearest exits
This tandem operation eliminates delays in communication, a critical factor during emergencies. Moreover, the signage is highly adaptable, enabling schools and businesses to meet specific needs.
Inclusive and Personalised Communication
One of the standout benefits of these features is their ability to cater to diverse audiences. For individuals who are hard of hearing, visual alerts provide a crucial layer of accessibility. By displaying clear, visual instructions alongside audible alarms, schools and businesses ensure that everyone can respond promptly during emergencies.
Additionally, the signage can be personalised depending on your environment. Instead of loud alarms that may frighten students, schools can use visuals and calming instructions to guide them safely. This minimises distress during emergencies.
Benefits for Schools and Businesses
- Streamlines Emergency Response
In critical situations, such as evacuations or lockdowns, EntrySign and Vivi enable quick and efficient action. With features like instant, real-time roll calls that highlight individuals requiring assistance and seamless emergency alerts and broadcasts, institutions can ensure safety protocols are executed smoothly and effectively, minimising risk and improving outcomes. - Enhances Safety and Compliance
Schools and businesses need to meet stringent safety and security regulations, such as implementing safeguarding protocols in schools and complying with emerging legislation such as Martyn’s Law in the UK. Investing in robust systems like EntrySign and Vivi ensures that organisations are proactive in meeting potential legal requirements. - Seamless Communication
EntrySign’s customisable sign-in solution ensures staff, visitors and contractors are made aware of site rules, important policies and safety procedures from the start. Vivi’s digital signage platform guarantees seamless site-wide communication by sharing recent updates, announcements, special events and reminders. - Improves Reputation and Trust

Demonstrating a commitment to security and inclusivity can enhance an organisation’s reputation in its community or industry. - Modern and Inviting Environments
Implementing innovative digital solutions like EntrySign and Vivi transforms workplaces into a professional, modern, and welcoming environment, leaving a lasting positive impression.

Why Act Now?
With existing safety and security legislation and before the introduction of Martyn’s Law, schools and businesses must act pre-emptively to mitigate risks and ensure safety. Beyond compliance, implementing EntrySign and Vivi demonstrates a forward-thinking approach to school and business operations, ensuring safety, clarity, and peace of mind for everyone on-site.
