Product Information on DeskAlerts

Updated 6th February 2026

What is DeskAlerts?

DeskAlerts is employee notification software that helps organizations reach every employee in seconds and reduce reliance on slow or overcrowded channels like email and chat. It supports both urgent updates and planned communications, including IT maintenance, policy changes, and internal company announcements. The software enables targeted messaging by department, role, or location, ensuring employees receive only relevant information and minimizing communication overload. Desktop alerts and mobile notifications provide high visibility, while scheduled messages support routine communication. Surveys and analytics help teams measure engagement and communication effectiveness to continuously improve internal communication across distributed and hybrid workforces.

DeskAlerts Pricing

DeskAlerts software utilizes a tiered pricing model based on factors such as the number of users and selected features. Pricing varies depending on organization size and deployment requirements, with options for one-time licensing fees or annual subscriptions. Custom quotes are provided according to specific client needs, and additional charges may apply for optional modules, onboarding, or support services.
