Returning guest, Matt Rice, co-founder and CEO of Brycer, the Compliance Engine, and 1st time guest, Andreas Huber, co-founder of First Due join Drew to talk about their recent partnership. Brycer the Compliance Engine (https://www.thecomplianceengine.com\ is a tool for jurisdictions for fire protection systems. First Due https://firstduesizeup is a fire service platform that helps AHJs and fire services manage teams, dispatching, and other emergency management tools. The trio talks about bringing value and safety to communities, sharing the right data with the right people, the first of its kind integration between their platforms, and their favorite golfer. You know it wouldn’t be The Fire Protection Podcast without some golf thrown in! Wouldn’t it be incredibly helpful to a fire chief know the working status of the fire protection systems of the burning building 1st responders are rushing to? This episode gets into this and other topics such as ditching paper, fire protection & life safety pre and post COVID, being ultra flexible, the trend of consolidation and providing extra value to your customers beyond your software. Not quite the drinking game episode #29 was! Same word -data- just not said quite as much. Who owns the customers' data? The customer does! (duh!) The discussion leads into a very scary statistic. 50% of the buildings on record have no inspections, testing, or maintenance records. Not to minimize the sad and terrifying implications, but that’s an incredible amount of potential issues.
