New integration empowers K-12 schools with real-time, location-specific communication across all school displays

Raptor Technologies, the trusted leader in school safety and student wellbeing solutions, and Vivi, a pioneer in classroom engagement and school communications technology, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance emergency response by delivering visual and text-based communication in K-12 schools.

This collaboration integrates Vivi’s Emergency Visual Notification technology with Raptor’s Emergency Management solution, enabling schools to instantly broadcast visual and text-based alerts across classroom and campus screens. The result is faster, clearer and more effective communication during critical incidents.

“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.”

Visual Alerts Where They Matter Most

Vivi’s Emergency Visual Notification technology allows schools to instantly broadcast clear, tailored messaging across learning environments, helping ensure emergency notifications reach students, teachers and staff efficiently. Whether it’s an evacuation, lockdown or shelter-in-place situation, Vivi transforms connected screens into critical communication hubs.

“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 combining Raptor’s established technologies with Vivi’s visual alerts, we’re creating a safer space for learning.”

Integrated, Multi-Layered Approach to Safety

Raptor gives schools the option to integrate Vivi’s visual alert capabilities with Raptor Emergency Management, including schools using Raptor’s wearable panic solution, Raptor Badge Alert. When paired with Raptor Badge Alert, the 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, allowing vital instructions to reach more people instantly, regardless of their 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.

Setting a New Standard for K-12 Emergency Response

As schools face escalating safety concerns and tighter budgets, the Raptor-Vivi integration offers a high-impact solution that helps pave the way for school leaders to strengthen their foundation of safety and wellbeing without burdening staff. It also helps schools meet requirements under federal and state safety mandates, such as Alyssa’s Law. By combining advanced emergency alerts with location-specific, actionable communication, schools can make a positive impact on their emergency response capabilities.
