Customer Testimonials

Working in crisis, you always look at a preventative model. We knew we would be taking people who were higher acuity, so we really wanted to have a more secure system and provide that additional reassurance for staff.

Safety and Security is a top priority to our school district. We sought out a system that will help our staff be safe, supported, and empowered. We believe CENTEGIX will offer this by allowing staff members to quickly and discreetly call for assistance. CENTEGIX will be another tool in our school safety toolbox. We plan to use this system as a proactive approach to safety and security.

It empowers teachers to be in control of the safety of their room. They can summon a principal at the push of a button. We know where and we know who. That is a powerful technology.

Thanks to the CrisisAlert data, we were able to identify the need and make the case to our Board to invest in areas that needed help. A year later, our CrisisAlert data demonstrated the effectiveness of the changes we made.

I've made many decisions over my tenure on that board, but I will put [CENTEGIX] up there in the top five. It's probably one of the most important decisions I ever had to make and I have never looked back on it. There's no price to put on safety.

That nurse wasn’t able to get on a phone and explain the situation, so they used their duress badge and help came immediately and deterred the situation.

With 65% of our population being transient, we can’t know everyone. CENTEGIX Enhanced Visitor Management helps us quickly identify visitors and know where they are, even if we don’t know them personally, and that is a huge relief for our staff. Before the visitor management system and visitor badges, there were no check-ins. We didn’t know if they actually came to campus, or if they did, when and where they went. Now, they have to come into the front office, check-in and we can see where they are and have been, which has offered unexpected upside.

The minute we receive a map in an architectural drawing or PDF is the minute it is out of date! If I have to call an architect or vendor to update maps, I waste time and money. CENTEGIX’s Safety Blueprint is the best of both worlds: we can make updates in real-time, and we don’t have to spend money every time we make a change, like consolidating rooms or adding a mobile classroom. The assessment management and inventory management capability is icing on the cake.

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.

CrisisAlert is an additional measure that Brazosport ISD is taking to fortify safety measures for all our students and staff. The system's effectiveness and ease of use provide our staff with the confidence and peace of mind necessary to maintain a secure learning environment.

As a behavioral special education teacher, it is a comfort when you need assistance with a student, you have [the] immediate help needed to deescalate a situation. For all teachers working with students, the response time is much better having our CENTEGIX badges.

When I first saw CrisisAlert, two key elements drew my attention: the wearable badge for every staff member and the visual strobes placed down hallways, in gymnasiums, cafeterias, but most importantly in EVERY classroom. [These places] can be extremely noisy at times. The visual alerts provided by the strobes throughout each campus are a critical part of alerting our students and staff during any campus-wide incident.

When we evaluated dozens of solutions to comply with the panic button mandates in different states, we were impressed with CENTEGIX’s unique ability to cover every square foot of a property. That—along with the ease of installation and their responsive approach to customer support—led to our decision that CENTEGIX is the best solution for our properties.

It was a matter of seconds rather than minutes. I really think that timing made a big difference in this situation.

For our staff, it has been mindblowing [with the badge and the safety network having access to 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.

We love it. It’s such a great product. There are not too many things that are easy anymore, especially in education, and this is an easy one.

CrisisAlert is the solution we’ve been looking for. Knowing that in healthcare, if there’s a problem, you just hit that badge…This is an outstanding solution to a long-standing problem.

To empower people who are under your care with a simple tool where they can press a button to get help during a panic situation makes you feel that we truly are a family and that they are truly cared for when they come to work every day.
