Announcements

"I didn't know about the new policy." "No one told me the meeting was moved." "When did we change that procedure?" These statements are management failures disguised as communication failures. The information was sent—maybe in an email, maybe in a meeting, maybe on a bulletin board in the break room. But "sent" is not "received." And "received" is not "understood." Quantra's Announcements system makes sure everyone gets the message. Create an announcement and send it to the entire company, or target it to specific teams, locations, or roles. The distribution is instant. Push notifications hit every employee's phone. The message is not buried in an inbox—it appears front and center. Read receipts show you exactly who has seen the announcement and when. Not "I sent it"—"47 of 52 employees have opened it." You know who got the message and who did not, in real-time. Acknowledgment requirements take it further. For important policy updates, safety announcements, or compliance-critical information, require employees to tap a button confirming they read and understood. Now you have documentation that they saw it—useful for audits, disputes, and ensuring actual compliance. Scheduled sends let you write announcements when you have time and deliver them when the timing is right. The policy change that takes effect Monday? Schedule the announcement for Friday afternoon. The holiday schedule announcement? Write it once, schedule it to repeat annually. Targeting ensures relevance. The update that only affects the warehouse crew goes only to the warehouse crew. The announcement for managers goes only to managers. Employees see what matters to them, not a firehose of everything. Pinned announcements stay at the top of the feed. The safety reminder that should be visible constantly? Pin it. The policy that everyone should reference regularly? Pin it. Visibility is controlled, not random. Search and archive mean announcements are findable forever. The employee who claims they never heard about the policy change? You can show them when the announcement was sent, that they opened it, and that they acknowledged it. The difference between a company where everyone is informed and a company where information is scattered is not about volume of communication. It is about structure, delivery, and confirmation. Announce once. Confirm completely. Move forward together.
