STAFF DURESS ALERTS FOR WINDOWS

Staff safety, in seconds.

SUMn puts a discreet help button on every computer in your workplace. Double-click, and every colleague on your network knows who needs help and exactly where they are.

A double-click on one computer, and every other computer on your network alarms at once, showing exactly where help is needed.

Help shouldn’t depend on being heard.

Front-line staff are often alone with the public. When someone becomes agitated or aggressive, picking up a phone or calling out isn’t always possible. Hard-wired duress alarms are expensive, slow to install and don’t tell anyone who is coming.

SUMn does the job with the computers you already have.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. A few seconds.

01

Press

Double-click the small globe on your screen. That’s all it takes.

02

Alert

Every SUMn station on your network sounds an alarm and shows exactly which room needs help.

03

Respond

Colleagues click to say they’re coming, and the person who raised the alert sees how many are on the way.

WHY SUMN

Built for your front line.

Seconds, not minutes

Alerts reach every station on your local network almost instantly.

Knows the location

Every alert names the room or station it came from, so help goes straight to the right place.

Help is visibly coming

The person in trouble sees colleagues acknowledge the alert in real time.

Discreet

A small globe in the corner of the screen. No phone call, no shouting.

Uses the PCs you have

Installs on standard Windows computers in minutes. No wiring, no electrician.

Not just emergencies

Front-desk staff can quietly ask the back office for a hand when the waiting room gets busy.

Designed inside a working business.

SUMn was built in Perth by a business owner who wanted something better for his own team: a duress alert that staff would actually use, that works on the computers already on every desk, and that tells everyone exactly where help is needed.

It has been refined in day-to-day use at a busy suburban workplace, with reception, offices and interview rooms all connected.

PRICING

One licence. Every computer.

$500 + GST / year

per site ($550 inc. GST), or $50 + GST per month. Unlimited computers at the site, updates and email support included.

When in need, SUMn.

Set up in minutes on the Windows PCs you already have.

SUMn is a staff communication tool that helps colleagues get help to each other quickly. It is not a monitored alarm service and does not contact police, ambulance or security. In an emergency, call 000.
