Singlewire Software, a Madison, WI-based leader in solutions that help keep people safe and informed, announced its acquisition of Visitor Aware, a provider of a tool for visitor and student management.
The amount of the deal was not disclosed.
The acquisition enables Singlewire to expand its suite of safety and communication offerings with visitor and student management capabilities that add to the emergency notification and incident management offerings of its InformaCast software.
Led by Bennett Stone, Visitor Aware provides schools and other organizations with the tools to screen visitors so they can identify threats before unwanted guests gain access to sensitive areas. Visitors have their IDs scanned when they enter a building. That information is used in conjunction with encrypted facial recognition to screen visitors against national sex offender and government watchlists and active legal injunctions. Potential issues are flagged to prevent guests from further entering a building, and approved guests are given a printed pass so they can proceed. Visitor Aware also offers tools for volunteer management, tardiness tracking, secure student release and pick-up, rostering and reunification, and setting up a tip line for potential threats.
The solution is primarily used in K-12 schools but has applications in healthcare, manufacturing, higher education, and other businesses.
Led by Paul Shain, president and CEO, Singlewire Software is the developer of InformaCast and Visitor Aware, two solutions that enable organizations to detect threats, notify everyone, and manage incidents. More than 5,000 organizations in over 80 countries use these tools to enhance safety and communication so they can protect their most important asset: their people.
