GetNotes is a communications tool designed to streamline and secure messaging between organizations and their target audiences. The company was founded by Managing Director Mark Kewley, whose personal experience in 2010 with disorganized school-to-parent communication inspired the platform's creation. He envisioned and personally invested in developing a more efficient and confidential way for schools and parents to connect.
The platform's core business revolves around providing a secure, tailored, and easy-to-use messaging system. It primarily serves educational institutions, volunteer organizations, clubs, and businesses. GetNotes operates on a model where administrators can create and send customized notes to specific individuals or groups based on activities and events. A key feature is the real-time reporting system, which allows administrators to track who has read a note and responded if an action is required, with data presented graphically for easy interpretation. This functionality addresses the common administrative challenge of monitoring responses and enables sending reminders to those who have not engaged with the communication.
Security is a significant aspect of the GetNotes offering. Unlike many public communication apps, GetNotes ensures that only authorized administrators and members of an organization can access the content. Members can access their notes on various devices, including computers, tablets, and mobile phones. A specialized feature developed through ongoing research is the Direct Emergency Broadcast (DEB). This function is designed to immediately alert all staff, parents, and their nominated emergency contacts in an emergency situation, utilizing all available communication resources with a single click from a school administrator.
