Sector challenges

Our answer

High turnover: new recruits regularly must master emergency systems. Thick manuals, procedures forgotten at the critical moment.

Minimalist app, 15-minute training

3 buttons on the emergency notification, no manual to read. The built-in emergency plan guides workers step by step. A new recruit is operational in 15 minutes, with no procedure to memorize.

Paging the whole team when half are on leave, in external training or on the night shift. Useless overload, notifications eventually ignored.

Punch system integration

Via API, IPA only contacts workers currently on site. Teams that just left: ignored. Night teams that have not punched in: not bothered. Total precision, no over-paging.

Every emergency has its own protocol: spill, severe injury, fire, evacuation. Impossible to memorize everything, and every minute lost costs.

Emergency response plan (PMU)

One plan per event type: spill, injury, fire, evacuation. The responsible person triggers the plan from their app or the web interface after assessment. IPA then distributes ordered tasks to the right groups (safety, evacuation, communication). Each person sees their task with 3 buttons. Supervisor follows live.

Machinery monitoring disconnected from teams: alerts dropped into a shared mailbox ignored by all, or waking everyone up for a false alarm.

Monitoring to the right teams

Your supervisory systems (SCADA, Zabbix, Nagios, email) send directly to the relevant technical group — maintenance, electrical, instrumentation. Only on-call technicians are alerted, via their preferred channel. In parallel, the responsible person can trigger an emergency plan if the situation warrants it.

Urgent evacuation, site closure, critical notice: how do you reach everyone on site at once (employees, contractors, visitors) without relying on email?

Mass SMS via dedicated 1-800 number

Paste a list of numbers into a group — hundreds or even thousands of people (all staff, contractors, visitors). One click and everyone receives the same SMS: « Do not enter the site, leak in progress » or « Immediate evacuation, report to zone B ». Dedicated 1-800 number that recipients can reply to. No app to install.

A spill in zone 3, the emergency plan takes over

Emergency plan live dashboard
  1. Detection

    A sensor detects a leak in zone 3. Immediate alert to the Maintenance group.

  2. First response

    On-call technicians receive the notification (app, SMS, voice) and head on site to assess.

  3. Emergency plan triggered

    The safety officer triggers the « Spill » plan from their phone. IPA distributes tasks to the right groups (safety, evacuation, communication).

  4. Live coordination

    Each worker sees their task with 3 buttons. Supervisor tracks the dashboard live. History logged for the safety report.

A complete toolbox, a simple interface

IPA combines several channels and automations. Use what you need, ignore the rest. Each tool learns in a few minutes.

Dedicated direct-dial numbers

Frequently asked questions

How does punch system integration work?
Via API: IPA queries your punch system before each alert to identify who is on site now. Only those present receive the notification. Compatible with most modern systems (REST, SOAP, webhooks).
Mass SMS: how many numbers, what does it cost?
Unlimited lists per group: paste numbers directly, hundreds or thousands of recipients. You keep multiple lists (all staff, active contractors, visitors of the month). Dedicated 1-800 number for your site that recipients can reply to. Predictable per-send pricing, included in the subscription based on volume.
How long to create a new emergency plan type?
Simple web interface: name the event (spill, fire, evacuation...), assign the relevant groups, list the ordered tasks per group. Immediate deployment. Our team supports you on the first plans.
Monitoring: which systems are compatible?
Any system that can send email or make an HTTP call: industrial SCADA, Zabbix, Nagios, Datadog, PRTG, or a plain automated email. IPA receives the alert and routes it to the right on-call group.
How long to train a new recruit?
Typically 15 minutes: app install, 3 response buttons, the emergency plans self-explain in context. For an administrator who manages groups and plans, count 1 to 2 hours of guided onboarding.
How does pricing work?
Per-enrolled-user pricing, from $4 / user / month. Mass SMS billed by volume. No per-device contract, no hardware. Unbeatable price.
