Resgrid is a logistics, communication and management (LCM) system that can be used by fire departments (volunteer and career), police, emergency medical services (EMS), search and rescue (SAR), hazmat, CERT, emergency management and other first responder or disaster response organizations to coordinate, communicate and manage personnel, resources (units/apparatuses), incident and reporting. Resgrid will show you the status and staffing level of all your personnel and apparatuses. Set automated staffing schedules, attach notes, images and files to dispatches (calls), blast out messages, poll personnel, create and view callbacks and much more. Log calls, take notes, use the Big Board to show all information on a monitor in your station. Resgrid can manage your calls, generated either internally or from an external CAD system. Auto import calls via emails, text messages or API calls. Resgrid can dispatch via Push Notifications, Email, Text Messages and Voice Calls. So even your personnel without smart phones or cell phones at all can use land lines to get dispatched from anywhere in the world. Resgrid is the only complete LCM (Logistics, Communication & Management) system for first responders and disaster response. With a suite of mobile applications (for Personnel, Units, Incident Commands and Data Reporting) and a zero-installation cloud based SaaS backend you can get up and running in minutes. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

iPage 2 is a complete rewrite of iPage in the Apple Swift 4 programming language. It maintains the same purpose as the original iPage which allows a user to send a message (page) to someone's pager from their iOS mobile device such as iPhone or iPad. iPage 2 is a separate app to iPage rather than just an update. There are several features with this app including: optimization for iOS 12 and the larger screen devices, preset messages, favorites, custom SNPP servers, and importing/exporting contacts. iPage 2 does not have ads. One major difference from the original iPage is that in iPage 2 a carrier must be assigned to each individual contact. Assigning carriers can be done: 1. At the time of entering/editing a contact's information 2. At the time of sending a page 3. In bulk via 'Settings' (Settings->Carriers->Manage) 4. Via CSV file import. The User Guide (Settings -> Documentation -> UserGuide) explains these options. DISCLAIMER: iPage 2 requires an internet connection and sends information to SNPP servers that are not in its control. Therefore, the user of iPage 2 is solely responsible for verifying that the pages sent from this app are received in a timely manner. The user will not hold iPage 2 or its developers responsible for complications that arise becasue of someone not receiving a page as desired.
