Safety, bells, and PA.
All from one system.
Vantact replaces aging analog phone systems in Canadian schools with a unified Cloud PBX that handles calls, scheduled bells, PA announcements, and lockdown alerts, all managed from one web dashboard, with E911 and zero upfront hardware costs.
Vantact replaces your aging analog PBX with a unified platform that handles calls, public announcements, scheduled bells, lockdown alerts, and campus-wide intercom, all managed from a simple web dashboard.
Purpose-built for schools and campuses
Traditional phone systems can’t keep up with modern safety standards, staff mobility, and budget constraints. Vantact was designed to solve all three.
Integrated PA System
Make campus-wide or zone-specific announcements directly from the phone system. No separate PA hardware required. Everything runs through Vantact.
Scheduled Bells & Alerts
Program class change bells, exam schedules, and custom alerts through a web interface. Adjust schedules for half-days, PD days, or special events in minutes.
Lockdown Controller
One-button activation triggers automated alerts through the PA, notifies authorities, and coordinates staff response. Integrates with existing safety systems.
Access Control & Intercom
Digital intercoms at entry points with remote door unlock capability. Office staff can verify visitors and grant access without leaving their desk.
Mobile Staff Integration
Teachers and administrators stay connected anywhere on campus. Transfer calls to mobile, receive voicemails as text, and call from the school’s number using the free app.
Digital Switchboard
Office staff route calls using a drag-and-drop web interface with real-time presence indicators showing which staff are available, on a call, or away.
Student safety is non-negotiable.
Your communication system is your first line of response in an emergency. Vantact integrates directly with your safety protocols to ensure instant, coordinated action when it matters most.
One-button lockdown activation
Triggers PA alerts, notifies authorities, and sends SMS to designated contacts simultaneously.
E911 compliance
Location-specific caller ID ensures emergency services know exactly which building and floor the call originates from.
Zone-based paging
Target announcements to specific wings, floors, or outdoor areas without disturbing the entire campus.
