Built for the frontline

Work together, wherever you are

In the field, on the road or after hours, work seamlessly with the rest of your response team.

Alert

Start or join in seconds

Start an incident from your phone, or get alerted the moment someone else does. Push notification, voice call, SMS and email reach you within seconds.

Act

Respond from where you are

Everyone in every location works from the same situational awareness. Track people and resources easily to coordinate tasks and resolve the incident together.

Align

One shared picture

What you post from your phone, including photos and files, appears in real time for everyone in the incident, on mobile and web. No one has to repeat the same update.

Start

Initiate a response

Tap New and pick one of your organization’s templates, such as fire, injured personnel or cyber attack. Check the notification message, teams and tasks, then start the incident.

  • Start from a template, or from scratch
  • Add teams now, or later as the situation develops
  • Running a drill? Tap New exercise, and it stays apart from real incidents

Alert

Never miss the alert

The push notification describes what has happened, so you know what you are walking into before you open the incident. RAYVN also calls, texts and emails, so people are reached on more than one channel.

  • Push notification within seconds of an incident starting
  • Entries tagged as Key event send a push to everyone invited
  • Respond and join the incident straight from your phone

Get the whole picture

Know where things stand before you act, and let the crisis team see where you are.

  • See the situation, what is ongoing or overdue, and the open tasks on one screen
  • Share your position so the crisis team can see where people are, and turn location sharing off at any time
  • See which people and resources are available, and where they are on the map

  • Create tasks and assign them to people as the situation changes
  • Complete a task with a comment or a file

Update

Report from the scene

Post updates, photos and files straight into the feed. The crisis team sees them as they happen, and every entry is time-stamped for the report afterwards.

  • Take photos and upload any file type, including PDFs and documents
  • Tag entries as Key event or Released information
  • Link an entry to a sub-incident, or share it with selected people

Offline mode

Keep logging when the signal drops

Incidents often happen where coverage is poor. If you lose connection, the app keeps working as a logging tool and shows that you are offline. What you record is synced for everyone when you are back online.

Works offline

  • Start an incident. Teams are notified as soon as you are back online
  • Write and publish log entries, with photos
  • Upload files already on your phone
  • Write and edit reports

Needs a connection

  • Creating, editing and completing tasks
  • Viewing, contacting and notifying teams
  • Video meetings
  • Downloading files and opening links

You need to be logged in to the app before you lose connection. Read more about offline mode in our Help Center
