What CatapultEMS does

CatapultEMS, a privately held SaaS company headquartered in Roseville, California, sells an integrated emergency management platform purpose-built for U.S. K-12 school districts. The platform consolidates eight functional modules — Emergency Alerts & Mass Notification, Emergency Planning, Drill Management, Anonymous Threat Reporting, Panic Button (mobile and physical), First Responder Integration, Reunification, and System Integrations — into a single cloud dashboard accessible from any web-enabled device. Underlying technology relies on integrations with student information systems (SIS), single sign-on (SSO), public address (PA) systems, IP phones, camera systems, and physical panic buttons, along with direct two-way communication to local police and fire dispatch that bypasses 911 call centers. The platform is operationally aligned with the I Love U Guys Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) and Standard Reunification Method (SRM), and is independently certified under iKeepSafe for FERPA, COPPA, HIPAA, SOPIPA, and California student privacy law compliance.

The company sells to district-level decision-makers (superintendents, principals, safety directors, IT directors) through enterprise field sales supplemented by inside-sales 'Request a Demo' CTAs, deploying a 'white-glove' implementation model with dedicated project managers and customer service managers. Core revenue is annual recurring subscriptions on a quote-based, undisclosed-pricing model for the platform, augmented by professional services for onboarding/training/support and an add-on Continuing Professional Development (CPD) training product ($499/module or $999 bundled) developed with NABITA and ATIXA. The customer base is entirely K-12 (notable names include Springdale Public Schools, Galena Park ISD, Twin Rivers Unified SD, and Marysville Joint Unified SD), and the company reports operational scale metrics of 2M+ processed tips, 23k+ drills conducted, 1,700+ Action Alerts initiated, and 6,000+ five-star reviews. No funding rounds, headcount figures, or revenue are disclosed in the available source material.
