More Control, Clarity and Confidence
In operational environments where timing and awareness are critical, notifications must be clear, reliable and easy to act on. GEST has introduced two new notification features designed to enhance reliability, reduce distractions and improve real‑time awareness across all devices.
These updates focus on delivering a more refined, intuitive and dependable notification experience, whether alerts appear on your watch, phone or system interface.
Feature 1: A New GEST Watch App with Continuous Notifications
The new GEST Watch App is fully independent and connects directly to the GEST server. This removes the need for mirrored phone notifications and eliminates duplicate alerts.
Every notification is delivered once, accurately and without unnecessary noise.
What’s new
- Direct server‑based push notifications
- No duplicate or mirrored alerts
- Works independently from the phone app
To further improve reliability, continuous notifications are now available. Alerts can be repeated at configurable intervals until acknowledged.
Benefits
- Greater visibility of critical alerts
- Reduced risk of missed calls
- Consistent experience across all devices
This update ensures that important information reaches the right people at the right moment, even in demanding environments.
Feature 2: Custom Notification Sounds for Instant Recognition
GEST now supports custom notification sounds, allowing alerts to be identified instantly by sound.
Users can define specific notification tones based on:
- Location
- Call type
- Crew member
This makes it possible to recognise the origin and urgency of a call without checking a screen.
Benefits
- Faster response times
- Less distraction during busy shifts
- A more personal and intuitive alert system
It is a subtle enhancement that significantly improves focus, awareness and efficiency.
Designed for Reliable, Real-Time Communication
These new features strengthen GEST’s role as a dependable real‑time notification system. By combining reliable delivery with intelligent personalisation, teams gain greater control over how and when information is received.
The result is a calmer, more confident workflow, supported by technology that works effortlessly in the background.
