Case Study: Hi-Crush achieves real-time threat visibility and rapid emergency communication with AlertMedia

Hi-Crush Inc. Protects Remote Workers From Safety Threats With AlertMedia

Hi-Crush Inc., a Houston‑headquartered provider of premium monocrystalline sand with operations across 14 locations and about 747 employees, needed a standardized way to protect and communicate safety and security threats to its dispersed, field‑based workforce. Prior to engaging AlertMedia, Hi‑Crush relied on ad‑hoc, one‑on‑one texts and site managers to relay urgent information, which was inconsistent, slow, and left employees vulnerable during severe weather, fires, and other emergencies. Hi‑Crush selected AlertMedia’s emergency communication software and Global Threat Intelligence to solve this gap.

AlertMedia deployed multi‑channel, two‑way emergency communications (including a native mobile app), dynamic audience grouping, and analyst‑backed threat intelligence that geolocates events and automatically identifies impacted employees. The platform gives Hi‑Crush real‑time visibility into emerging threats, the ability to see who received/read messages and who is safe, and lets administrators notify affected workers in minutes (the team reported sending tornado warnings in under a minute). By using AlertMedia, Hi‑Crush reduced manual monitoring, improved its duty of care, and can rapidly protect remote employees and critical operations with just a few clicks.
