odet offers dedicated solutions for schools and colleges through its solutions which provide class change, lockdown alerts, PA and synchronised clock systems.
For children’s safety, it is essential to have a lockdown system in place. With Bodet’s Harmonys range, an alert can be sent across the school, informing of the lockdown, or other emergencies, protecting pupils and staff.
Bodet’s microphones broadcast customisable messages to individual classes, rather than communicating to multiple zones. Whether a child or staff member is wanted, there is no need to spend time walking around the premises when the message can be sent directly. Messages can be scheduled and pre-recorded, saving even more time. Synchronising clocks across the school provides accuracy and reliability, therefore maximising learning time. This is particularly useful at parents evening and ensuring the lunch period runs smoothly. With over 40 years of experience working with time-based solutions, Bodet offers expertise and support to the education sector.
