Northern Ireland Fire & Rescue Service (NIFRS) has selected Cadcorp SIS Desktop with the resource planning and performance monitoring application Cadcorp Workload Modeller, and Cadcorp Risk Modeller for analysing community risk. The procurement includes Cadcorp support, training, and specialist consultancy services.
SIS Desktop has been implemented to support the Workload Modeller and Risk Modeller applications and will also provide a wide range of Geographic Information System (GIS) functionality. The software will work with background maps under the Northern Ireland Mapping Agreement NIMA, and HERE road network.
NIFRS has 68 Fire Stations across Northern Ireland. As part of its Community Risk Management Plan, it aims to ensure the effective deployment of all organisational assets and activities to mitigate community risk in the most effective way and support community safety. Using Workload Modeller, NIFRS can explore the impact of various resourcing strategies on operational performance.
