What do you think is preventing you from achieving Proactive Operations?

Is it your incident management process?

Or, is it the current tools you’re using to bring your incident management plans to life?

We will show you how incident management mobile apps can help you streamline communication throughout your property.

Are you ready?

Incident Management Mobile Apps Help Unclog Communication

The following probably sounds familiar.

Your day starts.

The calls start coming into your operations center.

• “Wet spill.”
• “There’s a fight in section 415!”
• “Another wet spill in section 206”
• “Wait, now there’s a slip and fall!”

Great.

The last thing you need today.

It’s nothing close to being proactive, either.

A lot of these calls will catch up to you in no time.

Your staff is immediately bottlenecked with several calls coming into the queue and no way to handle them properly.

Here’s the thing:

Your operation's efficiency hinges on:

• Communication between you, your supervisors, and your staff
• Information that doesn’t slip through the cracks, so your team knows what to complete, and creates accurate documentation doing it.

If either of these two things is not happening, you have significant drawbacks – and they need to be addressed.  

Keep reading to understand the full importance of why incident management mobile apps solve these issues.

Seamless Communication Throughout Your Property is Paramount

How can you be ready for the high-priority calls if you don’t have advanced communication strategies in place?

Look:

When these wet spills and fights keep coming into your incident management system – you need to be able to respond efficiently!

You’re not able to do that with limited radio bandwidth.

Are you?

It would help if you unclogged your communication channels.

Incident management mobile apps are your solution.

Because, here’s the thing:

Your wet spills will quickly turn into a slip & fall.

Do you know where that leads?

Liability.

As your communication channels clog, your radio traffic becomes insupportable for staff.

Calls that begin rolling in from every location, section, and hot spot throughout your property lead to the complete opposite of Proactive Operations.

It’s headaches you don’t want and certainly don’t need.

You need to have mobile apps as an extension of your incident management system if you want to overcome this feat any time soon.

Without one, your property’s operation is in danger.

Trust us.

Documentation or Disaster? You Pick.

When your team’s on the scene, how are they capturing all or any of the vital information?

Can you answer this question confidently?

When’s the last time you saw the reports from September 14^th, 2019?

Better yet, are you able to see detailed information that was captured by your frontline staff?

Is your staff producing handwritten reports?

Are they complete and legible?

Is your “documentation” making its way to a pile on your desk or the dreaded abyss known as your storage cabinet?

Look:

We understand the obstacles you and your team continuously face by not having suitable applications implemented.

Let’s put it into perspective for a moment.

What would happen if those wet spills not only went unattended for an extended period but the information recorded was utterly illegible?

Four words: slip and fall case.

Plan to lose money too.

As you’re probably aware, this is no joke.

Cases like this will be catastrophic to your organization.

Now:

It’s a “clear as day” problem preventing you from achieving Proactive Operations (and your peace of mind).

But, it’s also one that can be trounced with the right solutions in place.

Use Mobile Applications to Advance Every Facet of Your Incident Management Communication

Incident management mobile applications have rapidly transformed how operations effectively and efficiently communicate.

There are no two better tools for managing, handling, and communicating incidents or issues that occur throughout your property than these right here:

1. Mobile apps for on-the-fly reporting of incidents
2. Tablet apps that let your staff fill out complete digital incident reports from any location

It gets better.

Mobile apps let you deploy your staff with peace of mind knowing they can communicate and document incidents with ease.

It’ll simplify your operation in no time.

With innovative solutions, all is possible:

• Flexibility
• Efficiency
• Effectiveness

All at your fingertips.

Stop wasting valuable time.

Put mobile applications into the hands of your staff.

Do this to ensure incidents can be reported in seconds.

Time is your most valuable asset – make every second count!

Next:

Is having limited resources a significant concern for you?

If you’re like most operations we see, we bet this is a challenge you regularly face.

Your mobile applications will resolve this issue.

Here’s how.

You’ll have the ability to choose whether your operation uses a Wi-Fi connection or an existing data network.

Either way, you’ll be in good shape for the lifetime of your operation.

But:

Let’s not stop there when you have access to many more benefits.

Below are three crucial aspects of the new applications we believe will bring you the most immediate value.

Both tools can complement vital incident details using multimedia.

Your ability to send photos or videos between the mobile applications and your dispatch queue gives your staff comprehensive information for rapid response.

If there is a lost child, suspicious person, or potentially dangerous package, instantly send photos to everyone that needs to be notified.

Real-time data and efficient communication lead to faster response, period.

As incidents progress, the mobile app can update incidents in real-time.

We know real-time data is currently a missing ingredient for many operations.

Maybe even yours?

Not anymore.

Giving staff the ability to document, communicate and know what’s going on – we call this awareness – is all the value you need to make your move to mobile.

Are you having trouble getting new staff trained and ready for deployment?

Ready to streamline your training process just like your communication?

Your team changes.

But, training them on how to use these mobile applications can be trouble-free.

Images are used to represent incident types and response teams such as Fire Rescue.

Staff can report an incident in seconds.

Over to You

Unclogged communication and efficiency are in your future.

Streamline communication to take the first step in achieving peace of mind.

Are you going to deploy incident management mobile applications to streamline communication and increase efficiency at your property?
