I am a firefighter who built this platform for multiple reasons:
- I was tired of cookie cutter solutions. Having to request to build customized features was exhausting and constantly seeing features on screen that I didn’t need or want was frustrating.
- I was spending way too much time uploading to NFIRS/NERIS when I could have been spending time with my family.
- Reporting was a task. The solution we were using for a number of years never gave us the reporting in a readable format that was easy to customize.
- Accountability was an issue. Any Admin could mark an item “Reviewed As” another admin, and you’d never know who it truly was, raising security concerns.
- Accountability options were limited to a single type of fingerprint scanner. I wanted flexibility. I wanted more.
