Jolt Software, a digital food safety and operations execution software company, has launched Jolt Communication Manager, according to a press release.

Designed to streamline communication between operators and their employees and stores, Jolt Communication Manager ensures critical information is delivered to the right people, at the right time, in the right way, through two features: announcements and message blasts.

With the announcements feature, notifications are displayed to designated employees once they log in to the app. After the notification is shown, follow up questions can be displayed to ensure that the employee understood the communication. They must answer the follow up questions before they can do anything else in the app.

Message blasts allow operators to send SMS and/or email messages directly to individual employees or teams, using the employee's personal contact information. This ensures that communications are not missed.

"We wanted to create a solution that could convey urgent updates quickly and effectively," Josh Bird, founder and CEO of Jolt, said in the release. "If you think about a food recall, it is vital to pull the recalled food from shelves as soon as humanly possible. You need to not only get that message to your employees immediately, but ensure that they read and understand it. That's what Jolt Communication Manager does."
