Invest in Room Alert before environment changes cost you time, energy and resources you won\u2019t get back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During these unprecendented times, business continuity has never been more important. <a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/18373\/coronavirus-business-continuity-room-alert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Please see this article for additional recommendations (opens in a new tab)\">Please see this article for additional recommendations<\/a> to help keep your facility protected when your staff is away and working remotely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond increasing business uptime and productivity, Room Alert can also be implemented to help in many other ways. Room Alert monitors and sensors are engineered to prevent disasters related to changes in the environment within your businesses, organizations and facilities. By proactively monitoring, you can oversee the conditions in your environment and detect slight changes in your environment before major issues such as flooding, high temperatures, or smoke damage occur. Another way Room Alert saves you time, money and resources is through advanced and secure remote environment monitoring for when you are short staffed or even completely unmanned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When important staff members or managers are absent due to vacations, illness or other reasons (which will happen eventually), it is crucial to have comprehensive plans in place to handle all operations. Through being proactive and planning beforehand, you can prevent downtime and manage environment factors that could lead to lost revenue, unhappy customers and even going out of business. 30% of downtime is caused by environment factors such as extreme temperature, humidity, power loss, water damage or flooding, poor airflow, smoke or fire, etc. Room Alert protects your organization from costly downtime related to these environment factors and more. Room Alert monitors and sensors add an additional layer of security and protection where human error or being short staffed can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is critical to have a dependable and affordable way to remotely monitor your facilities <a href=\"https:\/\/avtech.com\/articles\/14806\/three-ways-environment-monitoring-protects-facility\/\">when you are short staffed<\/a>, completely unstaffed or your offices are closed. It is imperative that your assets are protected 24\/7 because staff can\u2019t always be on-site and during emergencies, travel time allows conditions to worsen.
