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. The Resgrid Unit app is intended to be used by Units, both apparatuses and groups of personnel, to provide AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) and support for tracking operational status, objective and task completion, events, dispatch units, personnel accountability and much more. The Resgrid Unit app also supports offline scenarios (after syncing with the system via an Internet connection) to allow usage of the app and tracking of events where there is no cellular signal. 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 smartphones or cell phones at all can use landlines 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.
