10 Reasons to Choose Regroup’s Mass Notification System

Understanding these features can save your organization valuable time and money.

Every organization faces potential risks and disruptions to its operations, including natural disasters, workplace violence, supply chain issues, and policy changes. Leaders play a crucial role in delivering timely, reliable, and relevant information to safeguard their teams and minimize damage.

There are many ways to communicate internally, but technology has made it clear that the most efficient and rapid way to reach people—especially in urgent situations—is by using a mass notification system.

What Is a Mass Notification System?

A mass notification system is a communication tool used to send urgent alerts or important information to groups of people. It delivers messages through multiple channels—such as text, email, phone calls, or mobile apps—so people receive critical information quickly, wherever they are.

Mass notification systems help reduce accidents, improve emergency response, protect public safety, and keep employees informed and productive.

Why Organizations Trust Regroup: 10 Proven Reasons

Below are the top 10 reasons we believe Regroup stands apart from other providers and can help make your organization’s communication clearer, faster, and more reliable.

Simplicity and Ease of Use

Regroup’s mass notification platform and mobile app are designed for speed and simplicity, with fast setup, two-way database sync, and easy opt-in.

Regroup also offers unlimited pre-programmed templates to help you get information out fast. Using predetermined text formats—easy to edit or send with just a few taps—for different message types and emergencies brings clarity to your communications strategy and helps overcome bottlenecks caused by miscommunication.

Dual-Purpose Messaging: Emergency and Day-to-Day Communication

Organizations of all sizes use Regroup for both routine and emergency messaging. This includes everyday communications such as HR policy updates and schedule changes, as well as urgent alerts about severe weather, nearby threats, and unexpected business closures. 

Keeping employees safe is non-negotiable. Regroup provides quick and reliable communication with multi-channel delivery across SMS/text, voice, email, mobile app push notifications, desktop notifications, digital signage, social media, and more. At the same time, the flexibility to send both critical and non-critical messages helps organizations:

• Keep employees informed
• Build consistent language and expectations
• Increase transparency
• Reduce the time teams spend clarifying messages so they can stay focused on their work

Unlimited Customer Support & Training at No Extra Cost

Regroup delivers unmatched value by providing unlimited customer support, comprehensive training, and rapid deployment—all at no additional cost. Every client is paired with a dedicated onboarding team and a customer support executive who can be reached directly by phone, email, or scheduled meetings. There are no chatbots or AI-only channels—just real people ready to help whenever you need them.

This hands-on approach ensures:

• Live support responses in minutes
• Training sessions with no extra fees
• Smooth onboarding across your organization

Most systems offer self-guided setup unless premium support is purchased, resulting in slower time to deployment and a longer learning curve for your team. Our platform is designed for rapid implementation and fast message delivery. 

With Regroup, teams can get up and running quickly with hands-on onboarding support, technical resources, and templates for common scenarios. This combination of speed, simplicity, and guided setup helps organizations gain value from the platform much faster.

Regroup’s Geofence Messaging 

Unlike basic mass notification tools, Regroup’s geofencing capabilities allow organizations to create virtual boundaries and instantly reach individuals based on their exact location, whether using static addresses or real-time device positioning through the Regroup mobile app. 

Regroup’s intuitive interface makes it easy to draw custom geofence areas, pre-save critical locations, and target recipients in real time without relying on outdated methods like phone trees. With strict privacy protections—no real-time personal tracking and location data deactivated after the alert duration—organizations can communicate confidently and responsibly.

Transparent, Flexible Pricing

Regroup offers flexible pricing with no hidden costs for administrative licenses or internal features, and pricing that fits multi-location organizations. Regroup’s total cost often trends lower than many competitors.

Many mass notification providers charge high setup fees, extra fees for integrations, and other added costs for messaging packs, additional templates, or feature bundles.

Regroup does not sell rigid “packages.” Instead, every client has access to customize the platform to fit its exact needs. Regroup also offers a 12-month minimum contract, which provides flexibility compared to competitors that often require multi-year commitments.

Global Messaging Capabilities

Supporting over 130 languages,  Regroup’s automatic translation ensures messages are understood by everyone, regardless of their native language.

Based on device settings or user preferences, notifications are translated automatically across text/SMS, email, and text-to-speech formats. This capability is essential for global organizations, multilingual communities and inclusive emergency planning.

Regroup also offers location-targeted messaging to send alerts to people in a defined geographic area, with rapid, high-volume throughput designed for large audiences across multiple regions.

Versatile API Suite & Strong Integrations

Regroup’s versatile API suite and robust integration capabilities allow partners and clients to connect their systems with the multimodal notification platform. This enables automatic or manual triggering of emergency and non-critical notifications and consistent messaging across existing infrastructure Through integrations, organizations can send potentially life-saving alerts through existing systems such as PA systems, digital signage, fire panels, alarm systems, and other on-site infrastructure.

Regroup also integrates with many leading databases and information systems, including:

• Employee record management
• HR and payroll systems
• Student information systems and learning systems

Flexible & Customizable Platform

All organizations face communication challenges, but they don’t all serve the same audiences or industries. Unlike many mass notification systems, Regroup offers many customization options for each client, helping reduce confusion when comparing features across vendors.

Regroup’s platform is adaptable to your organization’s unique needs, with:

• Unlimited groups and admins
• Customizable admin roles and permission sets
• Customizable branding on the platform
• Clear and straightforward pricing
  

This flexibility ensures the system feels like a natural extension of your existing processes, not a rigid tool you have to work around.

Weather Services and Public Safety

Natural disasters and severe weather can disrupt operations and pose serious challenges for organizations.

Regroup’s platform provides a reliable solution for teams that must collaborate with public alerting systems and government agencies.

Regroup partners with the National Weather Service and is recognized as a Weather-Ready Nation (WRN) Ambassador by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Integration with NOAA and the National Weather Service allows Regroup to automatically send real-time, location-based watches, warnings, and alerts to team members in any location, across multiple channels.
