Benefits of Switchvox for Schools

Safe

Switchvox enables you broadcast emergency alerts through a paging system that goes out via the display on desktop phones, directly to parents’ phones, or to emergency contact numbers of your students.

Mobility features in Switchvox help turn your staff into a mobile task force during an emergency. The ability to readily communicate with mobile devices ensures that you can reach your staff anywhere, anytime.

Affordable

Switchvox offers low upfront costs, industry-low annual costs, and an “All Features Included” pricing model that ensures you don’t have to sacrifice features to meet your school’s budget.

In fact, Switchvox typically can save schools 40-60% compared to other proprietary phone vendors.

It can also easily integrate with existing systems to facilitate a slow rollout if the budget can’t cover a complete replacement.
Easy to Use image

Easy to Use

School phone systems absolutely must be easy to use, perhaps even more so than other industries.

Education professionals typically don’t have time to learn complex systems. So they love that Switchvox comes with an intuitive and powerful web-based interface, handsets, and mobile applications.

This makes it easy for new employees to get up and running quickly without taking time away from the classroom.
