TargetSolutions is always striving to improve processes and increase effectiveness for emergency responders. That’s what the new TargetSolutions Check It™ operations management software accomplishes.
This exciting application, which connects directly to TargetSolutions’ industry leading online training management system, documents, tracks, and reports apparatus and fire equipment inspections, while allowing departments to streamline routine maintenance checks.
Using a mobile device, the TargetSolutions Check It™ application enables personnel to document the status of apparatus, complete in-depth equipment inspections, and communicate necessary actions. This software centralizes information by showing past check history, reminding staff of overdue or upcoming checks via push notifications and utilizing workflows to track service status of apparatus and equipment.
“TargetSolutions Check It helps departments ensure readiness, identify failed checks faster and increase overall efficiency,” said Senior Product Manager Misty Pratt. “Electronic apparatus checks improve transparency within a department and eliminate paper processes that can lead to inaccuracies and increased risk.”
Don’t start from scratch when creating checklists
TargetSolutions’ new operations management software contains a shared checklist library with real checklists used by other departments. Agencies will be able to import lists that relate to their apparatus and equipment and customize them according to their department’s needs.
Access to features is managed similarly to TargetSolutions’ powerful training and records management system. Administrators can assign roles based on personnel’s responsibilities and grant permission to add lists, create items or manage service tasks.
Simplify apparatus inspections and track everything
TargetSolutions Check It™ operations management software tracks all equipment and inventory items needed by first responders in the field. Departments can oversee drug inventories and track expiration dates to assure proper usage; and ensure accurate chain-of-custody records. Comprehensive lists of medical supplies, compartment tools, and drugs are organized by categories for snapshot views of supply levels.
When an apparatus fails a check or requires other routine maintenance, the application allows personnel to open service tickets and track associated costs. Through the built-in workflow, staff can check the status of trucks and equipment for repair and understand what services are being performed.
Generate comprehensive reports in real time
Reports in the TargetSolutions Check It™ operations management software provide a high-level overview of vehicles and tools with automatically generated graphs. With visually-driven reports, officers can view the check steps each engine passes, measure units of engines such as mileage or hours of use and manage the drug log of controlled substances and common medicines.
TargetSolutions now offers the ultimate tool for maintaining checklists for a department’s apparatus and everything on it. Not only is this all-in-one tool for truck and fire equipment inspections accessible on your mobile device but it can also be launched from your TargetSolutions site.
“For years, TargetSolutions has been at the forefront of innovative technology for delivering and tracking training and compliance,” said TargetSolutions’ Executive Vice President Marc Scheipe. “Now, we have a powerful new mobile application for apparatus and equipment checks. With TargetSolutions Check It, routine checks are simplified, and the data is easily accessible through the TargetSolutions platform. TargetSolutions Check It gives Fire and EMS agencies insight into their inventory, so they can spot issues in real time. This is the kind of technology TargetSolutions strives to deliver because it makes agencies more efficient and effective.”
