Control

Pre-gates briefing.

Rooms, lists and scenarios, set up before anyone arrives.

You set up rooms for control, stewards and medical, and a recipient list that fills itself from a QR poster. The scenarios are written from your own risk assessment, and your own venue plan goes under the live map, marked up with gates, cordons and assembly points.

Pre-event checks
  • Scenario tiles written from your plan
  • QR sign-up posters at the gates
  • Venue plan annotated under the live map

Gates open.

Run the day on live voice.

Zone rooms stay open all day: hold a button, speak, and the whole team hears it. Members of the public report what they see through the same QR poster, photo or voice note attached, and it all lands in one queue. Say “Control, log” and the occurrence book writes itself, under the speaker’s name.

  • Always-on rooms by zone and by team
  • Public issue reports with photo and voice note
  • A voice log with the recording behind every line
  • Live monitoring across every room for the duty manager

Gate 3

Posters go up at every gate, and the list fills from the crowd’s own phones.

A scan opens the event’s own sign-up page. There is no app and no account to create. The number goes on the list and a welcome text confirms it. By the time the gates close, everyone who scanned can be reached in one message, and that is the list the alert will go to.

Issue report from the QR poster: smoke near the loading bay, with a photo and a voice note. It lands in the one queue the whole team watches.

Smoke near the loading bay, declared from a phone at 14:31:58.

Nobody opens a WhatsApp group or starts a ring-round. The rooms, the lists and the scenario already exist, so the response is four steps, and each one goes on this sheet as it happens.

Every declaration, alert, reply and transmission, on one sealed timeline.

A recording and a transcript, attributed to the speaker, sit behind every line, so the review runs from the record rather than from anyone’s memory. Replay the incident end to end and export an evidence pack an inspector can verify.

Push. Talk. Heard.

A notification tool sends its message and goes quiet. whoot. is built on an always-on voice core, the rooms your teams talk in all day, so when something starts nobody has to dial in or wait for a bridge.

Every word is live, recorded and transcribed, so the record is complete without anyone stopping to write it down.

How rooms work

Any phone, no app.

A text reaches every phone. There is no app to install.

A QR poster at the gate puts people on your list in one scan. When it matters, they get a text, a live page with your instructions and a way to answer. Replies come back to the whole team instead of sitting on one person’s phone.

Protective security

Martyn's Law.

The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act asks venues to notify, guide and account for people. whoot. supports those obligations, requirement by requirement.

Protective security · Notify · Guide · Account

whoot. for Martyn's Law

Control rooms

Security and operations teams.

The duty manager monitors every room live, the voice log keeps the occurrence book, and a duress phrase calls for help without sounding like one.

whoot. supports organisations in meeting their Martyn’s Law obligations. No product does that on its own, so take advice from a qualified safety professional about your premises.

Tullio CC

Every rider signed up. Not one alert needed.

Tullio CC's event safety team put SMS emergency alerts and issue reporting in every rider's pocket. Riders signed up from a QR poster, a reporting link arrived by text just before the start, and the whole field was one message away all day. The event ran without incident.
