From protecting nearly ten million people to making the annual Inc. 5000 list for the third year in a row, CENTEGIX has been busy improving safety culture in organizations across the country. The CENTEGIX Safety Platform™ minimizes response time in emergencies by enabling someone to quickly identify a need for help and notify responders. Our Safety Platform utilizes dynamic digital mapping, real-time locating capabilities, an easy-to-use wearable emergency button, and visitor management and reunification capabilities to plan for and respond faster to emergency situations. We’ve designed the Safety Platform to be efficient in organizations across many industries—with CENTEGIX, healthcare organizations, schools, and businesses can use the alert system to respond to emergencies efficiently in high-stress situations, protecting staff, visitors, and students.
CENTEGIX in Review: 2023 Highlights
Our innovative, award-winning CrisisAlert solution equips teachers, healthcare workers, and other leaders with the fastest and easiest way to request help in emergencies. From everyday emergencies to extreme crises, CrisisAlert delivers precise alert locations, immediate audio and visual incident notifications for campus-wide incidents, and 100% full campus coverage. With the simple push of a button on a wearable emergency button, an alert instantly reaches administrators and responders. 
Safety Platform™ Launch. In October 2023, CENTEGIX announced the launch of our Safety Platform, a cloud-based, integrated solution that unites our powerful market-leading solutions including:
- CrisisAlert™, a wearable badge-based incident response solution
- Safety Blueprint™, a dynamic response mapping solution
- Enhanced Visitor Management with real-time locating capabilities
- Reunification to digitize reunification for efficiency
The Safety Platform creates a culture of safety by reducing identification time, notification time, and response time during an emergency. Helping schools comply with Alyssa’s Law. Alyssa’s Law requires public elementary and secondary schools to be equipped with “silent panic alarms directly linked to law enforcement.” The law is named in honor of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting victim Alyssa Alhadeff. CENTEGIX has worked diligently to ensure its CrisisAlert school alert system and wearable emergency button fulfill the purpose of Alyssa’s law: decrease response time and save lives. Making the Inc. 5000 List. In 2023, CENTEGIX made the annual Inc. 5000 list for the third consecutive year. We ranked in the Top 40 for the Security Industry category. CENTEGIX is the only wearable emergency button provider to make the list. The Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The ranking uses data to gain insight into the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

Here are a few more achievements from 2023 we’re proud to share: 
Standout Insights and Testimonials
We’re dedicated to staying up to date on safety—here are some insights we shared last year: Fall 2022 School Safety Trends Report. CENTEGIX analyzed school safety incidents gathered from our CrisisAlert usage data for the Fall 2022 school semester which saw over 50k alerts initiated nationwide. School Safety Trends: 2023 Spring Term. In this report, CENTEGIX offered a comprehensive analysis of school safety incidents and staff survey feedback gathered from our CrisisAlert usage data for the 2023 spring term, which saw nearly 60k alerts initiated across the country. 
Here are some testimonials we are proud to share:
“I don’t know of another product out there that can help control the response time to emergencies. Whether it is a whole campus situation—the unthinkable—or these different medical emergencies, or classroom events. I cannot think of anything that’s going to speed up a response the way this does, or enable as many employees to be able to get help and initiate a response.” – Georgia Superintendent Dr. Kim Morgan, Brantley County Schools.
“Our previous mobile app didn’t work because there were simply too many places on campus where the service was unavailable. We switched to CENTEGIX because there was nothing else that compared in terms of complete campus coverage and ease of use.” – Chief of Safety and Security Frank Frangella, Martin County School District, Florida.
“This is a product that’ll benefit all staff in our district. And not just our teachers, but our custodians, our bus drivers, secretaries, food service, you name it. There’s a lot of other entities within a school district. And it allows us to provide that security—and, frankly, the quick response—for all staff.” Kansas Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jim McMullen, Olathe Public Schools.
“The system has a very sophisticated mapping feature that allows responders to see exactly which room or hallway the emergency is coming from and from whom. In the event of a real active shooter, we could share this information with outside police agencies who may be coming to aid us.” – Police Chief Paul Cordova, Aldine ISD, Texas.
Every Second Matters
Response time is a crucial component of a safety plan. Every second matters when an emergency event threatens the safety of your organization. Schools, hospitals, government buildings, and the staff within them rely on a timely response to emergencies. A quick response can mean the difference between a crisis averted and a disaster. The CENTEGIX CrisisAlert wearable emergency button, a critical component of a comprehensive municipal building, hospital, or school alert system, ensures that every staff member can send an alert from anywhere on campus in any situation. CENTEGIX Safety Blueprint maps show precise location information so administrators, safety personnel, and first responders can quickly assist. During a panel for CENTEGIX, Dr. Jim McMullen of Olathe Public Schools stated:
“This is a product that’ll benefit all staff in our district. And not just our teachers, but our custodians, our bus drivers, secretaries, food service, you name it. There are a lot of other entities within a school district. And it allows us to provide that security—and, frankly, the quick response—for all staff.”
Users of CENTEGIX technology hail it as one of the best school alert systems in the market. Superintendent Stacey Locke of Yakima School District benefited from the efficiency and speed of the CrisisAlert wearable emergency button:
“For our staff, it has been mindblowing. With the CENTEGIX technology, they now feel valued. We now have 2,000 additional eyes and ears on the safety of not only Yakima School District, but also the community as a whole, and I can tell you what a difference that has made when we talk about a comprehensive culture of safety.”
