AlertMedia now supports more than 2,000 enterprise customers including Walmart, DHL, Greyhound, as well as prominent organizations in all industries across more than 100 countries.
AlertMedia continues to grow in response to the market’s unwavering need: to help organizations easily and effectively communicate with their employees during critical events like severe weather, workplace violence, and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The company recently added nearly 250 enterprise customers during the month of March alone.
“Our products are made to help organizations navigate critical events–from approaching hurricanes to pandemics to disruptions in supply chain and operations. Our mission is to save lives and minimize loss by facilitating timely communications when an emergency threatens personal safety,” said AlertMedia CEO Brian Cruver. “Right now, the AlertMedia team is working harder than ever to support companies around the world dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. We are extremely grateful that our software can help organizations and their people during this pandemic.”
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, AlertMedia customers are using the platform to send and receive two-way messages, manage operational changes, perform wellness-checks, and dispatch critical communications to their employees–keeping them safe, informed, and connected.
As a customer-first organization, AlertMedia plans to use this new round of funding to accelerate product innovation, continue to support existing customers, and help meet growing market demand by expanding its team.
“It’s refreshing to see a company like AlertMedia thrive financially while also helping millions of people every day,” said Bob Nye, General Partner at JMI Equity. “From an investment standpoint, that’s exactly what we want to accomplish–to support an organization that not only has huge potential for growth and a product that is in high demand, but also one that makes it their every day mission to keep people safe and informed and to save lives.“
