Case Study
Derrick reduced his drill time from 17 minutes to 6 minutes, while also improving accuracy.
"If you need a turn-key evacuation platform, then Headcount is definitely the best solution.
The functionality you get in the palm of your hand rather than going to a clipboard is irreplaceable.
The end user experience is hugely beneficial. It is simple, visual, intuitive, and can be accurately used with little to no training."
Derrick used to spend 6 to 9 minutes just collecting and cross referencing lists on clipboards, but now he uses real-time updates to instantly know who is in danger, missing, and safe.

Complete Your Headcount Faster When Employees Self Check-In With SMS
Employees can reply to a text/email message to mark themselves 'safe' or 'in danger'
Employees can do this on site or off site, anywhere in the world.
Employees can mark themselves 'in danger' instantly, so you can rescue them faster.
Because each person can do that little amount of work to check themselves in at the exact same moment in time, they remove bottle necks and can drastically improve your headcount times.
Advantages:- Check-in from anywhere in the world - you are no longer constrained by needing to be at the same physical location
- Removes the need to assemble to be accounted for, which is particularly an advantage in active shooter and terrorist situations where groups of people are targets
- SMS check-in works on any type of phone, including flip phones
