What is a notification and summons system, and why invest in it
A notification and summons system is a professional tool designed for the quick and mass distribution of messages, announcements, or warnings to any target group. Regardless of industry, essential information or instructions can be sent to many people with minimal effort and time. In the shortest possible time, everyone can be informed, from selected individuals through first responders to all concerned, such as employees, and their necessary response can be significantly accelerated.

Naša spoločnosť nachádza riešenie v oblasti vyrozumenia a zvolávania úplne pre každého. Preto aj našu ponuku rozdeľujeme na jednoduchý, rozšírený a cloudový vyrozumievací a zvolávací systém. Každý z nich má svoje výhody a rôznorodé možnosti využitia.
Simple notification and summons system
If you want a simple, self-contained, and independent way of notification and summons, the solution working through the operator’s control panel OCP16 is ideal. Thanks to the easy-to-use and intuitive control of the OCP16, it is possible to implement the process of notification and summons in a few simple steps. The operator is automatically informed about the progress and result of the notification process through a notification on the display.
This solution makes it possible to easily pre-define the persons to be notified and set up communication channels and telephone numbers for their notification and summons. At the same time, it offers the possibility of setting a specific type of emergency and the subsequent assignment of the relevant persons who should be notified in the given situation.
The simple notification and summons system is suitable mainly for customers who require a separate and durable system with effortless operation and stability.
Extended notification and summons system
If you require an automated and multifunctional way of notification and summons with several extended functions, a comprehensive solution based on the powerful Vektra® Notification software is suitable. Depending on availability, this software can use a computer or another device to which the necessary communication modules are connected. The solution can be implemented in several ways, and its functionality can be extended with Vektra® Warning or Vektra® SCADA modules.
The extended notification and summons system generally supports the following communication channels: mobile phones – voice and text messages, and emails. However, it is possible to supplement them with push notifications, radio stations or other communication channels according to the customer’s requirements. The system in this version can consider the different time availability of people (for example, according to their working hours) and choose the preferred notification method accordingly. The operator is also automatically informed about the result of the notification.
Cloud-based notification and summons system
If you are looking for the most progressive way of notification and summons accessible from any remote device, use a solution in the form of a cloud service. In this case, buying any hardware or software is unnecessary; you only need an Internet connection. The cloud solution is especially suitable for companies that outsource their operational processes.
Its core is the Vektra® Web application, which can be launched in the Internet browser of any device with Internet access (a smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc.). Through this application, it is also possible to pre-define the persons to be notified and set up communication channels and telephone numbers for their notification and summons, but also to assign the contacts of the relevant persons to specific types of emergency events—all this, together with automatic notification of the notification results.
The following communication channels are supported as standard: mobile phones – voice messages via SIP/VoIP channel, text messages, and emails. The utilisation of additional communication channels, such as radio stations and others, depends on the possibilities and legislation in the selected country.
