WaryMe, a French provider of safety and crisis management solutions, has integrated Flic Smart Buttons into its platform to offer fast, fixed-location emergency alerts. Already used by over 350 organizations—including hospitals, public authorities, schools, and high-security sites—WaryMe’s mobile-first platform is designed for environments where quick response is critical.

The partnership with Flic adds a physical alert option that complements WaryMe’s mobile tools. It is now fully integrated into the WaryMe system, from button configuration to real-time monitoring of hardware status.

At Nantes University Hospital, Flic buttons have been installed across psychiatry departments, including consultation rooms, care areas, and shared spaces. Staff can trigger alerts instantly and discreetly, without relying on a phone or wearable device.

“Ninety-six percent of requests are received and processed in less than 15 seconds. That speed allows for immediate and targeted intervention.”

“When an alarm is triggered, it is instantly transmitted to the smartphones of the care teams,” said Boris Berger, Co-fondateur and Président of WaryMe. “We were able to deploy quickly and implement full monitoring of the buttons and hubs,” Berger added. “That level of reliability is essential in professional use cases.” The integration process itself was smooth, supported by clear documentation and responsive technical assistance from Flic.

Usability was also a key factor. The Flic buttons needed to be intuitive under pressure, while blending discreetly into the environment.

“It is crucial that the alert buttons are both discreet, so as not to unnecessarily alarm, and intuitive, to allow for reflexive use in high-stress moments,” said Berger.

Beyond reliability and usability, the collaboration also helps address industry-wide challenges around cybersecurity and operational efficiency.

“Our clients often operate in secure environments. It is critical to ensure there are no vulnerabilities in the system, and that alerts are transmitted reliably,” said Berger. “At the same time, we need to keep costs manageable, which means supervision and maintenance must be efficient.”

With Flic now part of WaryMe’s core offering, the platform can support emergency alerts across any environment—whether mobile or fixed, low-risk or mission-critical.

“We now offer an SOS trigger for every context,” said Berger. “The collaboration with Flic’s technical team is ongoing and allows us to keep adapting our solution as new needs emerge.”
