ABOUT
US
Status Solutions Network
With more than 21 years of experience and thousands of customers, Status Solutions is looking for franchisees to join them in their mission to help as many people as possible. At Status Solutions, we have always been primarily focused on the two groups of people that are the most at risk: young, school-aged kids and our senior population. Therefore, we have a lot of customers in the senior living industry and have a passion for helping schools.
Being a part of the Status Solutions Network family gives you the ability to operate your own business with virtually no overhead expenses. When buying a franchise, our franchisees enjoy the ability to be their own boss, while we handle everything on the back end. Most importantly, owning an SSN franchise provides you the opportunity to make a difference; not only to your family, but by supporting local businesses, schools and communities you serve. We strive to offer businesses unique advertising opportunities through our software platforms, CATIE, SARA and MIMI. We give our franchisees the opportunity to Digitize, Monetize, and Humanize.
Status Solutions
Status Solutions was founded by Mike MacLeod in 2001. In 1999, the tragic events of Columbine, Colorado devastated the world and sparked a lot of people into action to try to help keep schools safer. One of those people being Mike. In 2001, another tragedy hit the twin towers in New York City and Mike signed the papers to start Status Solutions in September of that year. For almost 20 years, Status Solutions has been dedicated to helping people, in particular the two groups of people that are the most at-risk, the very young (school-aged children) and the very old (those living in retirement communities). For years, Mike and his team of dedicated employees have helped keep thousands of communities safer by providing them Situational Awareness through his software platform SARA (Situational Awareness and Response Assistant). SARA is an alarm manager that allows communities to pull together all of their disparate systems into one uniform alerting platform.
In 2009, Mike had another idea. As more and more technology advancements were introduced, the digital divide between the silent generation and the generations before them became larger and larger, creating more social isolation for seniors and a lack of self service for our most at-risk population. Mike knew there had to be a way to bridge this digital divide. Thus, CATIE was born. CATIE (Communication and Access to Information Everywhere) is a communication platform that can be used in senior living communities and beyond for any/all self-service needs. It allows staff members, teachers, etc. to easily and efficiently communicate with their residents, students, etc. The platform includes an in-room portal, a website, and digital signage displays for a comprehensive communication strategy and platform.
The creation of Status Solutions Network came about to simply further our purpose, to help people.
