Whether you are an enterprise with hundreds of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) or an individual with a handful, the Response Ready mobile app is the most comprehensive, easy to use AED Program Management Solution to manage your devices and ensure compliance. This new version includes several bonus features including the ability to track and manage first aid kits, bleeding control kits, and a Dashboard to quickly get a recap of your device statuses and readiness to respond to emergencies. The app provides an easy and quick way to record readiness inspections on the go, and review issues such as upcoming supply expirations and maintenance needs. Log in credentials are tied to your access level, giving you only the information you are responsible for. Document your inspections manually, or utilize the intuitive QR/barcode functionality to scan items you've inspected, providing proof-positive time stamped verification. If you wish to set up scanning for your safety program, contact us for specialized QR/barcode labels pre-linked to your devices, or simply link barcodes already present on your devices through the app. Response Ready utilizes the same user credentials, and fully syncs with your desktop web based AED Total Solution portal, providing a subset of the most valuable information and services, and adding the freedom of managing your safety program on the go!

Welcome to ARCOS Mobile Plus. This app is the new version of the ARCOS Mobile App for Callout and Crew Manager and replaces the previous version called ‘The ARCOS App’. Learn More (LINK TO: https://arcos-inc.com/mobile-plus-quick-start/) Please contact your ARCOS administrator for information on when to download and start using this app instead of the previous version. ARCOS Mobile Plus is changing the way utilities enable their employees to respond, restore and report during both daily operations and unplanned events. Use ARCOS Mobile Plus to respond to callouts, view your schedule, view rosters and receive notification. If your administrator has set you up in the ARCOS system, you simply need to log in to get started. Some helpful tips: Your session duration, timed outs and password expirations are controlled by your utility’s security policies and not by ARCOS. We are committed to ensuring the security protocols of the industry are enforced. To ensure you’re using the latest version of ARCOS Mobile Plus, select auto update in the settings menu of your mobile device. Contact your administrator at the utility you work for if you are experiencing issues and/or to receive your login credentials. Like the ARCOS app? Have suggestions for improvement?
