Account for Thousands of People in Under 5 Minutes
- Self check-ins change the paradigm of a headcount by moving from a top-down one-way process with bottle necks, to a two-way instant update process.

Cut Your Headcount Time in Half
- About half of your population will self check-in, freeing you up to make critical decisions and allocate resources.

Have Contingencies For Every Situation Out-of-the-Box
- 3 methods to account for people in any emergency including active shooter, evacuations, and shelter-in-place.
- 2 communication networks that work even when the voice network goes down.
- Cloud services that work even when your on-site systems are down.
- Offline mode allows app to work even when the cell towers are completely down.

Complete Your Headcount Faster When Employees Self Check-In With SMS
- Employees can reply to a text/email message to mark themselves 'safe' or 'in danger'
- Employees can do this on site or off site, anywhere in the world.
- Employees can mark themselves 'in danger' instantly, so you can rescue them faster.
- Because each person can do that little amount of work to check themselves in at the exact same moment in time, they remove bottle necks and can drastically improve your headcount times.
Advantages:
- Check-in from anywhere in the world - you are no longer constrained by needing to be at the same physical location
- Removes the need to assemble to be accounted for, which is particularly an advantage in active shooter and terrorist situations where groups of people are targets
- SMS check-in works on any type of phone, including flip phones

Save More Time Using Badge Readers At Assembly Points
- Leverage your existing employee badges to rapidly and accurately account for people at assembly points.
- An employee can scan their badge to mark themselves 'safe'.
- Headcount works with any badge system including HID and Prox
- You can optionally purchase Headcount's mobile badge readers that are completely wireless, battery powered, and about the size of a phone - perfect for taking with you to an assembly point.
Advantages:
- Scanning badges is faster than looking for people in a crowd
- Scanning badges is more accurate than accounting for people manually

Account for People In-Person If They Don't Have a Phone or a Badge
- There are 3 different ways to account for people, so you are covered in any situation.
- If someone does not have their phone or badge, simply mark them as safe inside the app with the push of a button.
- All statuses are instantly synchronized to all permitted users of the app, anywhere in the world.
- The Headcount app is designed to be simple and intuitive to use under the stress of an emergency.
