KnockBot is a phone number posted at your entrance. Couriers, pharmacies, and after-hours visitors call it — and every staff device in your building alerts until someone acknowledges. Nothing to install for visitors. Every response logged.
After hours there's no front desk. Your staff are on the floors — helping someone to bed, answering a pull cord, doing rounds. At the door: a locked entryway, a posted number that rings out or gets rejected, a doorbell that doesn't work or goes ignored.
So medications sit unattended at the door. Couriers give up and leave. Families hear about it. And when someone asks what happened at the door that night, there's no record to point to.
A courier has been standing at your door for thirty minutes. They've rung the bell, called every number on the sign, and knocked until their knuckles hurt.
Inside, your overnight staff are three hallways away doing exactly what they should be doing — caring for residents. They have no idea anyone's there.
Tonight, the medication gets left in the entryway. No signature, no handoff, no chain of custody — and nobody inside knows a resident's dose is sitting at the door.
Anyone who needs to be inside after hours — a courier, an on-call nurse, hospice, a family member. The number is on the sign. There's nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.
An automated greeting answers and asks the caller to press 1 to alert staff — so robocalls and pocket dials never wake your building.
A priority alert fires on every staff device at once and repeats until someone responds. The first tap to acknowledge claims it and quiets the rest.
If nobody acknowledges within two minutes, the alert fires again and the miss is flagged in your log — so nothing slips by silently.
Runs on the Android devices your team already carries. We install and configure everything on-site — the number, the alerts, the signage. Your staff's only job is to tap Acknowledge and walk to the door.
Every call, every alert, every acknowledgment — timestamped automatically. A monthly report lands in your inbox showing exactly how fast your community answers its door.
Directors use the report two ways: as a coaching tool for overnight teams, and as documentation when a question comes up about a delivery, a visitor, or a night at the door.
There's no app, no account, and nothing to learn. Call the number on the sign, press 1, and someone's coming to the door. That's it — from one night driver to another.
Flat monthly pricing. We handle setup, signage, and support — you handle tapping Acknowledge.
Month to month. No contracts, no setup fee, cancel anytime.
No. Alerts go to your facility's shared Android devices — the ones your team already carries. We set those up during installation. Personal phones stay out of it unless your community asks to include them.
All of them, immediately. Because the trigger is just a phone number on your door, it works for every courier, pharmacy, lab, family member, and home-health visitor — with zero onboarding on their side.
No. KnockBot is a door notification service, not a life-safety, nurse call, or emergency response system, and it's not a substitute for 911. It has one job: making sure a person at your door reaches a person inside.
About an afternoon. We provision your number, configure your devices, mount the signage, and walk your team through it — usually in under 15 minutes of staff time. Your building needs working Wi-Fi for the devices; that's it.
Tell us about your community and we'll set up a walkthrough — a real call to a real sign, alerting a real device, in your own entryway.
