Agencies that Trust Essential Personnel

Built for Fire & EMS Operations

Everything Your Department Needs to Stay Response Ready

Empower your department with the tools to develop personnel, protect crew wellness, streamline communication, and manage mission-critical equipment—all from one secure platform built for Fire & EMS.

Performance & Professional Development

Make defensible and insightful personnel decisions

"Generalist" HR softwares are not appropriate for the operational characteristics of the Fire Service. EP provides a robust set of tools tailored for your leaders to coach, mentor and evaluate. Modern and easy tools like 360s, Leader's Notes and Awards ensure feedback can become routine. Young firefighters want feedback! Document it in EP.

Safety & Wellness

Proactive Tools for Resilient Crews

Firefighting and EMS work is physically and emotionally demanding. EP gives leaders the data they need to track apparatus accidents, injuries, monitor exposure to high-stress incidents, and flag potential wellness risks early. By acting before small issues become major problems, you can protect your crews and maintain operational readiness.

Guidance

Policies, Memos, Near-Miss Reports, Transfers, etc..

Still emailing out critical documents? Posting in Sharepoint or using a siloed software? Consolidate this functionality into EP's broader suite of tools for professional standards. Key functionality of version control and acknowledgment tracking.

Recruit & Probationary tracking

Documentation during the critical phase of a young employee's career

Young recruits and probies deserve feedback and counseling. If you need to make an important decision before probation ends, you must have everything documented. EP's tools ensure it can be done quickly, easily and transparently.

Training Management

Drowning in spreadsheets, emails and filing cabinets?

Every tool a Training Division needs to streamline their administrative efforts (so they can focus on actually training!). Task books, ISO hour management, certifications and qualifications are all tracked as part of the employee profile. Training event management streamlines conference requests and scheduling internal classes.

Single-Sign-On

Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.

Benefits of using single sign-on include:

Mitigate risk for access to 3rd-party sites. Because user passwords are not stored or managed externally
Reduce password fatigue from different username and password combinations
Reduce time spent re-entering passwords for the same identity
Better network security. Eliminating multiple passwords also reduces a common source of security breaches—users writing down their passwords.
