Overview Launched in 2009 Industry s first cloud based system for compliance Connecting all responsible parties in the Fire Prevention chain. - Authorities Having Jurisdiction - Service Companies - Property Owners - Tegris Management Solutions
Why did we come up with this system? Our Mission is to increase fire safety by bringing Testing & Inspection Compliance to 100% We want to help all parties make a safer place to live and work There was/is a disconnect in communication with all parties ITM is a vital part of making a community safe
Inspecting Testing & Maintenance Why is this important? When automatic life safety systems are called to deploy it is critical they work properly They can deploy in seconds. Saving property and lives
Life Safety Systems are electrical and mechanical devices Similar to..
You buy this solely to work in the event of a natural disaster You pack it with food, clothing, and shelter to help your family and friends in case of an emergency You then park it in your garage 10 years later that emergency happens and you have to move Will the truck fire up? Maybe
If you would have taken that truck out for a drive every 6 months If every year you checked the fluids and changed them if necessary If you checked the battery When you needed that truck would it fire up? Every time
All these systems require the same type of maintenance When called upon they save lives
