What are you using today?

Every building already handles resident requests somehow. Pick the one closest to yours and we will lay out where it holds up, where it loses things, and what changes. These compare approaches rather than named products, and each page says where the other approach is better. Some of them, such as your call system, Buttonworks sits beside rather than replaces.

• Buttonworks and call light systems. A call light says someone needs help. It cannot say what they need. How Buttonworks handles everyday requests alongside the call system, and why it does not replace it.
• Buttonworks and paper, whiteboards, and radio. Sticky notes, shift whiteboards, and the radio are what most buildings actually run on. Where that holds up, where it loses requests, and what changes with a written record.
• Buttonworks and the front desk. A person at the desk is the warmest way to take a request and the narrowest. What happens to requests at 9pm, on a Sunday, and in a language the desk does not speak.
• Buttonworks and maintenance software. A CMMS is built for assets and one department. It starts after somebody has already typed the work order in. What happens to the step before that.
• Buttonworks and medical alert pendants. A pendant is for the worst day, and most of the time it is on the nightstand. Why a worn button cannot carry an everyday request, and what does.
• Buttonworks and resident apps and tablets. Activity calendars and family portals do real work. Asking an 88-year-old to install an app and remember a password is where request capture goes wrong.

Buttonworks is not an emergency service and does not replace an emergency call system or trained staff. In an emergency, call 911 or use your facility's emergency call button.
