TalkBeam for Resorts, ski areas & theme parks
TalkBeam is a push-to-talk walkie-talkie app that connects lift and ride operators, guest services, food and beverage, maintenance and security across your whole property, with a live staff map, all-call, automated weather alerts and a searchable log.
CH 01The problem
Large seasonal teams, huge properties and weather that can close a lift or a ride in minutes.
Every season means issuing, tracking and collecting a pile of radios.
With TalkBeam
Staff join with a company code on their own phones, and you remove them in the console when the season ends.
Operations, guest services and maintenance crowd the same channels.
With TalkBeam
A channel per department or area, supervisors on all of them and an all-call for the whole property.
Wind, thunderstorm and heat decisions have to reach every operator at once.
With TalkBeam
Automated broadcasts read weather alerts aloud, and an all-call carries your hold and reopen calls.
A guest needs help, and nobody knows who’s closest.
With TalkBeam
The live map shows staff who are sharing their location.
Maintenance, snowmaking and night crews often work alone.
With TalkBeam
Lone-worker check-ins and man-down detection alert a supervisor if someone stops answering.
Claims and complaints arrive weeks after the day in question.
With TalkBeam
Searchable transcripts, with retention and CSV export on Enterprise.
CH 02A day on TalkBeam
A regional amusement and water park runs rides, lifeguards, guest services and maintenance channels on TalkBeam Enterprise.
The operations manager exports the day’s transcript for the weather-hold log.
Illustrative scenario. People, places and times are made up; the features are real.
Thunderstorm at Splash Valley Park. Lightning risk: get indoors or into a vehicle and stay off equipment until 30 minutes after the last thunder.
Weather hold on all outdoor rides and pools. Guards, clear the water. Guest services, open the pavilions.
Wave pool is clear.
Coaster 2 is unloaded and closed.
Thirty minutes since the last thunder. Rides, prepare to reopen at 2:45.
Maintenance is walking the slides before we reopen.
CH 03What you get
Everything a two-way radio does, on the phone, headset or vehicle your people already have, plus the things a radio never could.
A channel per crew, site, shift or job, and the people who need each one. Supervisors can sit on all of them.
Supervisors cut through the chatter mid-sentence, or reach every channel at once with one hold.
Severe weather warnings, thunderstorms, earthquakes, air quality and extreme heat near your sites or crews, read aloud on your channels automatically.
See everyone who’s sharing their location on one map, and who’s talking right now.
People working alone get an “Are you OK?” check-in on your schedule. A missed check-in escalates to a supervisor.
When a phone detects a crash or a fall with no movement and nobody answers “Are you OK?”, supervisors get an alert with the location.
Every transmission becomes text with a time and a name, so anyone can scroll back or search what was said.
People sign in with their Okta, Microsoft or Google work account.
Features marked Enterprise are part of the Enterprise plan. TalkBeam isn’t an emergency service and doesn’t contact 911.

CH 05See it in action

CH 06FAQ
For most departments, yes, wherever your property has cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. Ski patrol and rescue teams should keep their radios for rescue operations; TalkBeam covers everyone else.
Share your company code, or use single sign-on on Enterprise, and put people on their department’s channels. Remove them from the console at the end of the season.
Yes. On Enterprise, automated broadcasts are read aloud on the channels you choose, through each person’s earbud, headset or phone.
Yes, for staff sharing their location on a company channel.
Not if staff wear an earbud. TalkBeam plays through AirPods, Bluetooth earbuds or wired earpieces.
Enterprise is $15 per person per month billed yearly from 25 people, $13 per person from 100 people, and custom pricing from 500.
