Fire Rescue & Ems Expo

We attended the Pittsburgh Fire Rescue and EMS Expo on March 2nd & 3rd 2019. The expo was held at the Monroeville convention center and featured 300 exhibits. We spoke with lots of volunteer Fire and Rescue departments over the course of the two-day conference. We were also surprised to find out that over 70% of Fire Departments in Pennsylvania are volunteer. That is such a huge number of people that volunteer their time to put their lives at risk for our safety. HUGE thank you to all of the volunteers! Our booth was positioned right next to the Allegheny Mountain Search and Rescue dog team, which created quite the buzz. We also booked two demos with two departments that we spoke with at the expo: Slickville Fire and Rescue and the Fire Department from Flushing, OH.

We are so excited to have been a part of this awesome opportunity and can't wait to see what is next for us!

Check-4-It is a leading emergency vehicle inspection platform. Check-4-It has streamlined the vehicle inspection process and made it much more accurate. As a 2018 EMS World Innovation Awards Finalist, Check-4-It is changing the way that emergency staff are tracking their inventory.

They are a privately-held manufacturer of rugged mobile devices that withstand tough conditions to get the job done, with over 1,000 authorized partners covering all of their international territories.

“I loved how sturdy the product felt just while holding it. I was also pleased it runs a full version of Windows 10, with bar code scanning capability” says John Skolits, President of Check-4-It. He first came across Handheld rugged PC Products at the “EMS World” trade show in Nashville Tennessee. “Pricing was very competitive and they provide excellent warranty options. Looking forward to working with them and being able to offer a great product to my customers.”

EMS World Expo 2018

11/19/2018

As a new salesperson attending my first trade show, I had no idea what to expect from the EMS World expo in Nashville. I attended the show with the owner and developer of Check-4-It, John Skolits. From the initial setup, to the teardown, there was never a dull moment. I learned how many departments struggle with daily rig checks! They are having trouble with EMT’s and firefighters doing everything with a pencil and clipboard! What is this, 1985? Expired drugs and drug box checks seemed to be a common concern across many departments. We were able to do demonstrations on an Ipad, an android phone, and a new rugged handheld tablet, and a laptop computer. We attended a networking event at the Hard Rock Cafe as well! There was much buzz about the new tablet that we will soon be partnering with. With over 100 new connections that we made over the course of the 3 day event, I will be very busy with new sales! I look forward to expanding this application and assisting new departments keep their drug boxes up to date and their trucks safely inspected.

Are you ready to roll?
