HASSLE-FREE Our hassle-free system has been designed to work independently and doesn’t need to be integrated into the company’s system so you can continue working without any disturbance. ACCURACY There are certain questions regarding an individual’s disability that need to be answered in order to identify the type of access plans that they require, such as level access, or step-free plans. The way that the questions are answered will identify whether they have learning, mobility, hearing or visually impairment needs.
CREATE AN ACCOUNT Service providers can access the system using a secure password to log in to their account and create their plans. All that’s needed is an internet connection to upload photos, add text, and create customised plans that their users can then download to their mobile phone, view, and navigate. REAL-TIME INFORMATION During an emergency, the service provider can contact the individual directly and provide/ receive real-time information as the situation unfolds, such as which part of the building they are in and a safe area where they can be met to be assisted out of the building.
INPUTTING DETAILS The system has been developed in order to provide valuable information about an individual’s needs that both parties can benefit from - Users can provide information about their disability requirements, health, and medication needs, as well as contact details that can be accessed in the event of an emergency.
“It’s so easy to access, input, upload and modify your information with InformMii”

REDIRECT YOUR USERS Sometimes, because of the way a building is designed some adaptations cannot be provided for disabled people, so a service provider could also create a plan to show where the nearest facility is adjacent to their building (with pictures of the adaptations) so that disabled people can assess whether they can still access their services.
EMERGENCY CONTACTS The service provider can use the contact number of the preferred person chosen by the individual to be contacted in the event of an emergency to inform them that they need extra support, a specific item of equipment or medication that needs to be brought to them.

BRACI INTEGRATION If a fire alarm is activated, and there are hearing impaired people in the building that might not be able to hear the fire alarm, the InformMii app will use a system called Braci - a special sound recognition platform that will recognise the fire alarm and sends a visual and sensory notification to their phone in the form of vibrations, camera light flashes, and a visual notification on their phone.
EASY ACCESS Accessing information couldn’t be easier. The InformMii system has been designed to work with the accessibility settings on the user’s mobile phone which means the information can be heard if the individual has a visual impairment, or seen if they are audibly impaired. INFORM YOUR USERS If a service provider suspects that disabled people might be accessing their facilities on a day where there is a problem with a lift or other adaptation that will not be available for some time, the service provider can create a plan to inform individuals about the problem. They will then be informed by the app as soon as they check into the building and can adjust their plans accordingly.
SECURITY The provision to add a code to a plan to protect information is available too so that only people with an access code will be able to open the plan and view it. The code can also be changed at any time so that the security of the information is protected at all times. CUSTOMISABLE PLANS Information can be provided about the accessible adaptations and equipment on site and show how it can be used. Services can also utilise the system to suit their requirements and plans can be created and modified when required. Plans can also be created as part of a seasonal project and archived to be used again in the future, and specialised projects can be run to assist emergency services when dealing with events such as an evacuation.
QR CODES The system is also capable of attaching a QR code to any plans that a service provider makes, creating a quick and easy link to any website or place of further information. This is useful for things like providing information about an event and can also be used as part of stationery or promotional material so that people can scan it to get to information quickly.

Service providers spend lots of money on adaptations for disabled people. They never know just how many disabled customers they have or how often they’ll use their facilities, sometimes their customers don’t even know when they have made adaptations.
The InformMii app can help service providers to keep in touch with their users, demonstrate how accessible their premises are, and show them just how much their continued custom is valued.
