Return on Investment: StormTrak™ pays for itself...

How do we justify the need for StormTrak?

stormtrak accountable emergency management software pays for itself

If you are accountable for monies spent during emergencies...then you need StormTrak.  StormTrak is the ONLY emergency management software that provides dollars and hours accountability.  StormTrak has been installed in municipalities since 1995 - and has been invaluable in combating legal challenges (often, many years after the emergency), justifying funding for emergencies, providing overtime input to payroll systems, and earning FEMA reimbursements.

 

We already have an AVL (Automatic Vehicle Location) system. Why do we need StormTrak?

Your AVL system lets you know where your vehicle IS, where it has BEEN, and may also sense if the vehicle is plowing, or spreading abrasives during winter storms.  However, your AVL system does not tell you the cost of each vehicle, each person, overtime, union vs non-union,  FEMA snapshots, the usage of fleet that is NON-AVL equipped, contractor dispatch records tied to contractor POs, an accounting of each transaction to salt/sand facilities, how many trees were removed, the response to each service call....and a centralized list of ALL emergency transactions and decisions - both during and long after the emergency has passed.  StormTrak fills this void with precise accountability for every emergency.

 

How do I justify the cost of adding new software - when we are in a tight budget crisis?

StormTrak pays for itself, over and over.


Ask yourself these simple questions:
  1. How much time do you (or your staff) spend trying to crunch numbers for “the boss”, or the media, or city council, or the mayor, or the governor?
  2. How often are you asked for dollars and hours both during an after any emergency?
  3. How much time does it take you to produce this information?
  4. How many different spreadsheets and calculations must you review to get your “bottom line” numbers?
  5. How often are you asked to justify your budget for managing emergencies?
  6. How often is your municipality involved in a civil lawsuit which directly challenges a particular timeline during an emergency?  
  7. How long does it take to justify your actions during the emergency - especially when months or years have lapsed?
  8. When FEMA offers reimbursement for part or all of your emergency - how much time and effort does it take for you to prepare the necessary documents?
  9. Can you quickly provide Payroll with with an accurate listing of personnel who worked overtime during your emergency?
  10. Can you accurately oversee contracted resources based on their funding and equipment?

With the powerful, yet simple to use reports in StormTrak -- you can prepare all of the above - at any time, within minutes.   Can you really afford NOT to be using StormTrak?
