Vivi and Raptor Technologies Introduce Integrated Visual Alert Solution for Faster Emergency Response in Schools

MELBOURNE, June 3, 2025 — Vivi, a global education technology company and pioneer in classroom engagement and school communications, and Raptor Technologies, the trusted leader in school safety and student wellbeing solutions, announce plans to work together to enhance emergency response by delivering visual and text-based communication in K-12 schools.

By integrating Vivi’s Emergency Visual Notification technology with Raptor’s Emergency Management solution, the companies will enable schools to instantly broadcast visual and text-based alerts across the same classroom and campus screens already supporting daily teaching and learning. The result is faster, clearer, and more effective communication during critical incidents, without requiring schools to invest in dedicated display infrastructure.

“Our collaboration with Raptor Technologies represents a significant step forward in K-12 safety,” said Natalie Mactier, CEO of Vivi. “The integration with Raptor Emergency Management provides schools with a scalable, dependable system that enhances their emergency response protocols. By layering critical safety capabilities onto the screens teachers and students already rely on every day for learning, we’re helping schools do more with the technology they already have — and creating a safer space for learning in the process.”

With Vivi’s Emergency Visual Notification technology, schools can instantly broadcast clear, tailored messaging across learning environments, ensuring emergency notifications reach students, teachers, and staff efficiently. Whether it’s an evacuation, lockdown, or shelter-in-place situation, Vivi transforms the connected screens at the heart of every classroom into critical communication hubs — extending the value of technology investments schools have already made to support academic progress.

“With this partnership, Raptor Technologies continues to fulfill its mission to protect every child, every school, every day,” said Gray Hall, CEO of Raptor Technologies. “By integrating Vivi’s visual alerts with Raptor Emergency Management, we’re empowering schools with a comprehensive emergency response solution that strengthens situational awareness, speeds response times, and enhances the value of critical alerts when it matters most.”

Vivi’s visual alert capabilities integrate seamlessly with Raptor Emergency Management, including schools using Raptor’s wearable panic solution, Raptor Badge Alert. When paired with Raptor Badge Alert, this multi-layered approach extends emergency coverage to schools where traditional connectivity options, such as Wi-Fi or cellular networks, may be unreliable.

Key benefits of the integration include:

• Expanded Visibility: Alerts now appear on classroom and common-area screens, ensuring vital instructions reach more people instantly, regardless of location.
• Improved Situational Awareness: Clear, location-specific messaging gives staff, students, and first responders the context they need to act quickly and effectively during emergencies.
• Seamless Integration: Vivi’s alerts sync through secure, custom APIs with Raptor’s Emergency Management system, supporting a more unified communication experience during critical moments.

As schools face growing safety concerns and budget constraints, the Vivi-Raptor integration offers an effective solution that enhances safety and well-being without overloading staff or finances. By utilizing existing classroom displays, schools can achieve their safety goals while maintaining the academic value of their technology. It also helps meet federal and state safety requirements, such as Alyssa’s Law. By combining advanced emergency alerts with location-specific communication, schools can significantly improve their emergency response capabilities.
