Rapidly Growing North Texas Community Selects MobileEyes(TM) Fire Inspection Software
| Source: TradeMaster, Inc.
TROY, MI -- (MARKET WIRE) -- February 19, 2007 -- The volunteer fire department in the largely
residential community of Fairview, Texas is planning ahead for a big wave
of commercial and residential construction. With growth in mind, the fire
department recently purchased and installed MobileEyes™ software that
runs on a tablet PC to perform local fire inspections.
The software, developed by TradeMaster, Inc., has been installed in an
increasing number of fire departments of all sizes throughout the country
that are taking advantage of new technology to enhance their capabilities
and customer service.
Fairview will soon break ground for a new "lifestyle" center that will
encompass one million sq. ft. under roof, including three large anchor
stores, 200 retailers, a 10-story hotel, convention center, and residential
living on approximately 200 acres, explained volunteer Fire Chief Dick
Price. "We can create our fire inspection database now, before
construction begins."
The town's population is expected to expand from its current population of
7,000 residents to more than 16,000 over the next few years. According to
Price, that translates into lots of building and fire inspections.
Price describes MobileEyes™ as a very user-friendly tool, which includes
handwriting recognition capabilities that make note-taking as easy as
writing on a yellow pad.
Volunteer Fire Marshal and Inspector Jeff Bell appreciates the ability that
MobileEyes™ gives to provide a hard copy record of the inspection
on-site and also to transmit an electronic copy by email to the building
owner to let them know whether they passed inspection.
By accessing MobileEyes™ software via the Internet, inspectors no longer
have to do double entry of information or rely on memory. "I can easily
access fire codes online, including the ones that we've amended to meet the
needs of our community," said Bell.
Fire Chief Price noted that for greater fire safety protection they've
tightened the requirements for sprinkler systems in Fairview's residential
and commercial buildings. "With MobileEyes™ software, we can customize
the program to meet our town's needs," added Price. "We also have a lot of
people in our community who welcome the benefits of this technology."
