iCERP – Critical Emergency Resource Planning

Common Problems Encountered

Disparate systems - holding different pieces of information on each

staff member or resource.

Interrogation - Time consuming process for interrogating each

system to plan resources allocation

Overview - No simple “one page” view of resource availability.

Resolution - When deficiencies are identified, further work is

required to investigate additional background info required to support

the decision making process.

Client Software Install required – usually on only a few PCs

iCERP Solution

iCERP provides a configurable and integrated view of:

your site locations.

resources / teams per location, with:

status, active and non-active resources

gaps and shortfalls of resource

iCERP Solution (cont)

Allows for planning, advising/requesting and implementing

resource moves/transfers to resolve shortfalls or gaps.

Provides a detailed log of all events, allocations and

transactions.

Integrates to existing systems, to seamlessly transact and

communicate the allocations/reallocations.
