Beacon is emergency alerting for organisations that need it to work, not to look impressive in a board presentation. You send alerts by SMS and email. People respond with one tap. If they don't respond, the system escalates. You get a complete audit trail. It costs £99/month and you can be sending alerts within the hour. What makes it genuinely different is the privacy architecture. The person sending the alert never sees anyone's personal phone number or email address. Your people manage their own contact details; they add them, they update them, they control them. Beacon delivers the alert on your behalf without exposing that information to anyone. No shared spreadsheets of personal mobiles. No administrator sitting on a pile of contact data they shouldn't have. No GDPR liability you didn't ask for. Beacon calls this the blind relay. Contact details are encrypted at rest with AES-256, resolve only at the moment of delivery, and the association discards immediately after. The administrator sees delivery status and responses, never the number or address it was sent to. This eliminates an entire category of data liability and means people are more likely to provide their real details because they trust the system. Build your emergency response plans in advance as scenarios; one click activates the entire sequence. Pre-built templates for fire evacuation, IT outages, lockdowns, severe weather, and safeguarding incidents are ready to customise. Multi-step escalation, approval gates for sensitive alerts, and message templates with placeholder variables so the same template works across sites. Recipients respond via a secure token link. No app, no login, no password. If someone doesn't respond, Beacon escalates automatically through your defined tiers. Connect your monitoring tools, IoT sensors, or building systems via the RESTful API so alerts send themselves when conditions are met. Use managed SMS and email delivery out of the box, or connect your own Twilio and SendGrid accounts for full control. - Scenario playbooks with multi-step escalation, approval gates, and response branching - Message templates with placeholder variables and live preview - Tiered escalation chains with configurable timing - One-tap responses via secure token link; no app, no login, no password - RESTful API for triggering alerts from monitoring tools, IoT sensors, and business systems - BYOK: connect your own Twilio and SendGrid, or use managed delivery - Full audit trail with PDF export for compliance evidence - Configurable data retention with manual purge - Works as a PWA on any device; no app install required
