AlertMedia has become a critical communications tool for many companies during this COVID-19 global pandemic. The startup provides emergency communication software, used by over 2,000 enterprise companies in 100 countries to keep employees safe from threats to their health and safety. Its customers include Walmart, HEB, DHL, Greyhound and Healthgrades. “We’re solving a big problem in this global pandemic,” said Brian Cruver, founder and CEO of AlertMedia. “Our system is perfect for helping people deal with this,” he said. And at a time when many companies have taken a huge hit in sales, AlertMedia’s business has increased dramatically. AlertMedia added 250 new enterprise customers in March alone. And the company plans to hire 100 more employees to its staff of 150, Cruver said.
