Infographics is delighted to announce that Derbyshire Fire & Rescue Service (DFRS) is the latest client to go live with the Prevent + Protect (P+P) platform for Hydrants from Infographics.
Derbyshire’s project focuses on the Hydrant Management module, part of the broader P+P solution that covers job types and functionality relevant to prevention, protection, and operational risk activities.
P+P’s specialist platform
Kevin Page, Fleet and Equipment Group Manager at DFRS, said: "With our existing hydrant management system nearing ‘end of life’, we needed to procure a new system to help us manage our hydrants and support in the planning and tracking of jobs, defects, orders, inspections, and repairs."
He adds, "We have worked closely with colleagues from Infographics to introduce a new hydrant system that meets all our requirements to ensure we can continue to provide an efficient and effective emergency service to the communities of Derbyshire."
