Go Beyond WebEOC® and Knowledge Center with VAM for Emergency Management
Visual Asset Manager tackles the specifics that expert system software simply can’t handle because of its location-based focus and real-time update.
We understand that — and that’s why we’ve designed Visual Asset Manager to work seamlessly with Emergency Management Expert Systems— going far beyond its colaboration environment to a first-responder inventory management powerhouse.
Emergency Management Organizations of all sizes typically track IT Assets, First Responder vehicles and First Responder Equipment across multiple locations and across multiple stations. Visual Asset Manager's centralized approach allows reduced inventory searching activity and reduced cost on redundant activities across multiple departments. The inventory activity is standardized, and with this standardization comes reliability.
That’s because keeping Visual Asset Manager up to date is as simple as scanning a barcode on the asset, scanning the location code, and pushing a button. With automatic synchronization and publishing from the handheld device, you have reduced the time to update your database with accurate locations to seconds. Beats a clipboard any day!
Additionally, our ITIL V3 Framework templates make IT Services Tracking, Data Center management and IT Reporting simple and easy. Coupled with our RFID services module, you know exactly when equipment is moved from rack to rack or from rack to service. This reduces the amount of auditing required as you only audit assets that have not been acted on within six months.

- Eliminate costly physical search because locations are updated in real-time.
- Walk-by audit reads RFID tags and marks them in their phsyical location using RFID enabled handheld or laptop.
- A Web Service API provides the means for WebEOC and Knowledge Center to update its expert system database or provide updates to VAM seamlessly, without the need for extensive customization.
