Emergency Reporting (ER), the cloud-based reporting and records management software for Fire and EMS agencies, announces its partnership and integration with Aladtec, the employee scheduling and workforce management software for mission-critical agencies such as EMS, fire service, law enforcement, and dispatch.
The Aladtec platform simplifies staff scheduling and puts current schedules with time and attendance tools onto any smartphone, tablet, or desktop computer. Through this integration, Aladtec automatically feeds schedule information into Emergency Reporting Daily Rosters, eliminating the time-consuming and error-prone task of duplicating schedule data.
First responders reporting and scheduling
Emergency Reporting CEO David Nokes says that ER partners with software companies like Aladtec to connect first responders with the software products for improved efficiency, response time, operations, and asset management. “Our goal is to make it easy to discover and connect the tools you need to grow with your Fire and EMS reporting and records management solutions,” he said. “We’re thrilled to partner with a top-of-the-line software company like Aladtec and to be able to offer our users a seamless integration between the two systems.”
“Like Emergency Reporting, Aladtec is dedicated to the concept of data interoperability,” said Aladtec President Dave Feyereisen. "Our customers want the best tool for the job, and they want those tools to work together without duplication of effort. By automatically synchronizing data between the Aladtec and ER systems, our customers save time and improve accuracy."
Continual improvements of features
Feyereisen says that the company continually reviews and acts on customer feedback to improve existing features and develop new ones that help customers work faster and more efficiently.
Some of the recent improvements made to the Aladtec system:
- Staggered Coverage Alerts - when open shifts are required to be offered to members one at a time, like in rotational overtime, an unlimited set of rules can be configured for sending out staggered Coverage Alerts; such as by seniority, total hours worked, last accepted date, and more
- Daily Staffing Requirements - automatically determine whether or not members scheduled have the necessary skills and/or experience to meet scheduling requirements, thereby improving efficiency, reducing scheduling errors, and limiting liability
- Extra Hours - members can easily record and report holdovers, shift variances, shift adjustments, unscheduled overtime, and missed sign-ups, thus saving time, simplify reporting, and improving accountability
- Shift Labels - adding color and label options improve shift identification and allow for easy pattern recognition within schedule rotations
