We have been users of Redkite Systems products for a number of years. The SQL database systems in operation within the Service, the Equipment Management System incorporating the EMS Mobile software and the Personnel Development System, were selected after evaluation and comparison against all other products currently in use and available to the UK Fire Service. In all cases, the evaluation working groups recommended the use of Redkite Systems products, after determining that the systems provided by them best met the criteria for easy to use intuitive processing, while also delivering in the background a modern and robust database solution, capable of flexibility and customisation.
We have been extremely pleased with the results achieved through the use of Redkite Systems products, as this has enabled Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue to deliver modern methods of working to the organization that not only provides better, more timely, management information, but also provides station based personnel with the tools to take ownership of the assets they are responsible for, and to have a view and ability to manage their own personnel development programmes.
Redkite Systems are a key strategic partner of Northamptonshire Fire & Rescue Service as we continue to develop our information strategy that requires of us to not only maintain large volumes of diverse data but also to demonstrate that we are achieving efficiencies of operation and capability. We are very happy that we have David Arber and his team at Redkite Systems on board to assist us in meeting the future challenges within the UK Fire Service. ![]()
