HOLLAND, MI (January 14, 2015): Code Blue, the industry pioneering manufacturer of emergency communication solutions, has released a series of updates to its award-winning Blue Alert® and ToolVox® platforms.
These updates feature a number of enhancements that will provide customers with improved functionality and efficiency, including new custom features and parameters.
New features in ToolVox, Code Blue’s dynamic systems management platform, include updated administration settings and backups that allow customers to control multiple end points at once, reducing programming time and making the software even more user friendly. Blue Alert MNS, Code Blue’s sophisticated mass notification software, also received updates that allow users to send notifications or additional preprogrammed automation activities through a button press on a Code Blue emergency speakerphone. For example, a speakerphone could be used to activate other emergency communication products in a manner similar to a “panic button” alarm.
Additionally, integration configurations are now available for Alertus , an industry leader in unified facility notifications, and Rave Mobile Safety, a trusted software partner for campus and public safety. Via preset configurations in the custom web service tool of Blue Alert MNS, notifications now can be easily delivered to their platforms.
To learn more about these new features, call 800-205-7186 or contact an authorized Code Blue representative.
