As public safety and compliance expectations continue to evolve, the ability to instantly communicate with everyone on your premises - staff, visitors, and contractors alike - is becoming essential.
Whether you operate a university campus, office complex, construction site, shopping centre, or event venue, an SMS alerting system ensures you can reach people quickly and effectively during an emergency.
A Growing Duty of Care
For many organisations, there is a clear duty of care to protect those who visit or work within their premises. However, most visitors and contractors are not connected to the organisation’s internal communication systems, leaving a dangerous gap when fast, reliable alerts are needed.
Legislation is also catching up. The upcoming Martyn’s Law (Protection of Premises) will soon require venues and businesses to demonstrate that they can communicate swiftly in the event of a security threat or major incident. An SMS alerting system provides one of the simplest, most effective ways to achieve this - without the need for complex software or costly implementation.
Why Simplicity Matters
In reality, for these types of alerts, many organisations:
- Don’t want - or need - a complex, enterprise-grade system.
- Don’t have spare staff to train on a new platform.
- Don’t want to spend heavily on compliance tools.
That’s why YUDU Alertline has been designed to make instant, compliant alerts simple and accessible. It provides a straightforward SMS registration process, no app to download, and ensures visitor data expires automatically once they leave — maintaining full GDPR compliance without administrative overhead.
Is Your Organisation Ready for YUDU Alertline?
To help you decide, we’ve created a short qualification checklist. If any of these statements apply to your organisation, it’s time to consider a dedicated SMS alerting solution:
Qualifying Checklist
- I have a duty of care to protect everyone on my premises
- I need to communicate with temporary or one-off visitors (contractors and guests)
- My venue will need to comply with Martyn’s Law
- My site makes it difficult to alert everyone rapidly
- I need to send fast, targeted alerts to people not on my database
- I want a simple registration – nothing to download
- I must be GDPR compliant but do not have trained staff
- I want visitor and contractor contact details to expire automatically when they leave
- I manage a shared or public space – shopping centre, stadium, campus, or office building
- I do not have a big budget or available staff to handle a complex system
Scoring Your Results
Having completed the checklist, these scores will define your potentialrequirements.
-
0–2 statements: You may not need Alertline - your existing internal communication systems might be sufficient.
-
3–6 statements: You likely need an out-of-band alerting solution like YUDU Alertline.
-
7+ statements: You have a high operational risk profile - implementing Alertline should be a priority for duty of care and compliance.
