Communication solution for manufacturing
Ensure every manufacturing employee from head office to the factory floor is aware of important information. Get immediate feedback to solve problems on time.
Inform and engage every manufacturing employee
Reaching production floor staff alongside office personnel can be challenging, but with DeskAlerts it is a piece of cake. Create your message using an intuitive web-based interface and send it through several different channels simultaneously, with just one click.
- Choose to send an intrusive message that guarantees cut-through or send a less disruptive one for less distraction.
- Use rich content (video, images etc) for better engagement.
- Send messages that require reading acknowledgment so you’ll know who read it and who didn’t.
DeskAlerts is often used to send IT outage and maintenance alerts, compliance information, important company news, HR announcements, messages from CEO, updates on policies and procedures etc.
Reduce risks and improve safety
Safety risks in the manufacturing industry are high; workplace incidents are common and cause millions of dollars in losses.
With DeskAlerts as your industrial plant communication system you can be sure critical information is read and staff know to comply with essential policies, safety instructions and rules and people are aware of how to act in an emergency.
It integrates easily with production software systems via an API and can automatically send alerts about errors and equipment failures.
DeskAlerts is often used to send emergency and critical systems failure alerts, safety policy information, critical reminders, lock down and all clear alerts, and to survey employees.
Make training more efficient and get feedback instantly
In manufacturing, it is critical to train workers well. By sending quizzes directly to employees’ devices you can test their knowledge, help them memorize information and understand what information should be repeated.
When you need to survey production floor employees, sending questions via email is not an option. Use DeskAlerts channels to deliver questions to employees’ devices and get feedback on the same day.
DeskAlerts is often used to send training invites, useful information and links to resources on the intranet and internet, test employees' knowledge, survey staff about their health, their levels of engagement or about resources they need etc.
