What we're building

Give every new member a clear path from induction to operational, helping with upskilling and retention. Vantage automatically works through the requirements as qualifications, courses and incident experience are recorded.

Publish an information session time, share the link, and let prospective members register themselves. Vantage handles confirmations, reminders and provides your recruitment check-in list - feeding this information back to the recruiting pipeline screens.

Create buttons and workflows that attach to incidents. They capture reminders, send follow-up emails with the incident details already filled in, and keep required actions open until they're done.

Know exactly who has each piece of issued gear. Members sign for equipment on their phone, and Vantage keeps the record until it comes back.

Know what's expired, what's about to expire, and what needs attention before it becomes a problem. Vantage checks your gear every week and raises a defect when an item passes its expiry date.

Fire weather forecasts and ratings, thunderstorm forecasts, severe weather warnings and the intel briefings, under BOM Products in Displays.

Members tap a plastic card at the kiosk alongside QR passes, and agency staff or contractors who work out of your building sign in without being members of your unit.

Acknowledge or clear a batch of jobs in one go during a storm event, copy the acknowledgement or clear email to send back, and print an IMS sheet.

Post to the whole unit or to one group, ask a question and collect the answers, without leaving Vantage.

Hold Evacuation on the door kiosk to start a roll call. Wardens mark people accounted for and all of them see it as it happens, so nobody is checked twice.

Track certifications, upcoming renewals, training gaps across team

Generate and print QR code asset tags for equipment

Step-by-step questions size up a job, recommend a priority, and leave a clear summary on the timeline for whoever picks it up next.

Call the caller from the incident and get the story first-hand. Your own number stays private and every call is logged on the timeline.

The Utilities and Council section names the road and whether VicRoads or the local council manages it.

By comparing incident types to assigned crew members, Vantage flags where an incident has been given a crew without the qualification it needs, such as a vehicle with no chainsaw-qualified member sent to a tree down.

Import member qualifications in bulk and track who holds each one, with expiring and missing competencies flagged before they affect availability.

Get eyes on the scene before crews arrive, from the Location section of the incident.

Build templates on a single page with sections and drag-and-drop, plus a bulk-add view for vehicles carrying a lot of equipment.

Add an odometer reading to any vehicle template and write it straight to the logbook, and capture a name, role and on-screen signature when a checklist is submitted.

A crew works through one run together instead of doubling up, and a run left untouched closes itself after 48 hours.

Accurately track incident management team members – duty officers, incident controllers, and more – to incidents for reporting and personnel tracking purposes

Searchable wiki with interactive guides to aid member onboarding, training, and development in the Vantage application.

Invite people from other agencies into a search trail with a four-digit code, without an account.

A Victorian base map option carrying far more local detail than the standard map.

Map and incident views update more quickly, and vehicles glide across the map rather than jumping between positions.

Move between organisations from the sidebar without logging out.

Schedule training, meetings and other unit events, and follow the unit calendar in your own calendar app.

Ops now has multiple decoders, with dual redundancy in location, triple redundancy in network connection, and power supply.

Eliminate guesswork by instantly surfacing the specific council, power, and gas companies responsible for the area.

Vantage MDT is planned for launch on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, delivering secure, authenticated access to job allocation, navigation, and operational information for incident management.

Repeated pager messages for the same job update the existing incident instead of creating a copy.
