Arlington County Fire Department (ACFD), located just outside of Washington D.C., is using ASAP Systems’ Passport software with barcode technology and Motorola handheld scanners to track thousands of items throughout its department, including personal protective equipment (PPE), tools, specialty items and supplies. With ASAP Passport, ACFD is able to easily assess and report on expenditures for each station or office location and employee as well as streamline distribution of items to and from the central logistics warehouse to all of ACFD’s ten stations, five training centers and the fire marshal’s office.
A market leader in inventory management and asset tracking systems for emergency medical services (EMS) organizations, relief organizations and fire rescue, ASAP Systems’ software offers ACFD advanced inventory control features including custom data fields that allow the department to track items by serial number, model number and expiration date. This is especially important to the department for assets that have expiration dates, such as a firefighter’s PPE, or that need regular maintenance such as fire extinguishers or station appliances. The logistics team is also able to quickly create and share detailed reports, such as what each station is spending between specific dates.
“ ASAP护照对我们来说是理想的解决方案。这是易于使用的，并提供了我们需要的自定义。“例如，我们的消防员的个人保护设备平均每十年到期。他们的人身安全取决于我们最重要的。使用ASAP Passport，我们可以在到期日期之前跟踪，因此我们确切知道何时订购新的PPE集。”
史密斯继续说，他们选择尽快护照的关键原因之一是该系统的嵌入式教程。如果用户忘记了如何做某事，则可以轻松地从软件中引用教程。当整个组织中使用不同级别的IT知识的员工使用该系统时，这一点非常重要。
“We’ve designed our software to be affordable and user-friendly, giving fire departments, police stations and other groups like this a way to improve their operational efficiencies through automation of their inventory management and asset tracking,” said Elie Jean Touma, president and CEO of ASAP Systems. “By moving away from manual tracking with an Excel spreadsheet and using ASAP Passport, these groups will be more accurate and efficient and better able to analyze and report on expenditures.”
